I absolutely love this Oreo Cheesecake Stuffed Donut Burger—it’s a daring mashup of sweet and savory: a juicy beef patty and creamy Oreo cheesecake sandwiched between two glazed donuts. It’s playful, indulgent, and an unforgettable treat.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I adore how this recipe takes two indulgences—burgers and dessert—and merges them into one over-the-top creation. The savory beef and melted cheese contrast with the sweet, creamy cheesecake and crunchy Oreo pieces. Every bite is a flavor explosion, perfect for when you want something fun and decadent.
Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
-
Ground beef patties
-
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
-
Glazed donuts (store-bought or homemade)
-
Cream cheese
-
Powdered sugar
-
Crushed Oreo cookies
-
Shredded cheddar or American cheese (optional)
-
Butter (for searing buns/patties)
-
Optional: cooked bacon strips
Directions
-
I start by seasoning my ground beef patties with salt and pepper, then form them into slightly larger patties than the donut holes to allow for shrinkage.
-
While the patties rest, I whip together the cheesecake filling: I beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth, then fold in crushed Oreo pieces until well combined.
-
I prepare the donuts by slicing them horizontally to serve as buns, removing excess dough to make room for fillings.
-
In a skillet over medium-high heat, I melt a bit of butter and sear the beef patties for about 4 minutes per side, adding a slice of cheddar or American cheese on top during the last minute so it melts beautifully. I then transfer patties to a warm plate.
-
I gently spread a layer of Oreo cheesecake onto the bottom donut halves.
-
I place the melted-cheese-topped patties atop the cheesecake layer (optional: I add crispy bacon here).
-
I top each burger with the matching donut top to complete the stack.
-
For a hot-and-cold effect, I serve immediately so the warm patty meets the cool cream cheese filling.
Servings and timing
I typically make 2 hearty burgers with this recipe. Prep takes about 15 minutes, and cooking runs around 10–12 minutes—so the whole experience is ready in about 30 minutes.
Variations
-
I sometimes skip the burger and make it a straight dessert burger—donuts stuffed with Oreo cheesecake balls.
-
I swap ground beef for spicy sausage patties or even a plant-based patty.
-
I use chocolate-glazed donuts for extra sweetness and visual appeal.
-
I stir chopped bacon into the cheesecake filling for a sweet-and-salty crunch throughout.
-
I drizzle caramel or chocolate sauce over the top donut for extra decadence.
Storage/Reheating
This isn’t ideal for leftovers since the donuts get soggy. If I must store, I separate the patties and cheesecake filling, refrigerate up to 24 hours, and assemble fresh. To reheat the patty, I use a skillet over medium heat for a minute per side, then rebuild before serving.
FAQs
Do the patties need to be fully cooked?
I cook them to at least 160 °F internal temperature for safety, but feel free to adjust doneness to your preference.
Can I make the cheesecake filling ahead?
Yes—I prepare it in advance and refrigerate it. It actually firms up nicely and makes assembly quicker.
What type of donut works best?
I prefer simple glazed donuts—they’re sweet without overpowering. Chocolate-glazed or sugar-crusted donuts are fun variations.
Is that done in one skillet?
I cook the patties and lightly toast donut halves in the same skillet if I want a bit of golden crispness on the donut cut surface.
How can I make it less sweet?
I reduce the powdered sugar in the filling or skip the cheese slice, and use plain glazed donuts instead of chocolate-glazed ones.
Conclusion
This Oreo Cheesecake Stuffed Donut Burger is creative, indulgent, and utterly satisfying for anyone craving an adventurous, flavor-packed handheld. It’s perfect for parties, special treats, or just when I want to challenge the ordinary—and it never fails to spark conversation and delight. I hope it brings bold fun to your kitchen as much as it does to mine!
