Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2–3 tbsp heavy cream or milk (for desired consistency)
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 4 slices of thick bread (brioche, challah, or Texas toast)
- 2 tbsp butter (for frying)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
- Optional toppings: whipped cream, chocolate syrup, additional strawberries
Instructions
- Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing well. Add heavy cream or milk to reach desired consistency.
- Slice strawberries and set them aside. Prepare the bread by cutting thick slices.
- Spread a generous amount of cheesecake filling on one slice of bread, top with sliced strawberries, and place another slice of bread on top.
- Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the sandwiches for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Notes
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the sugar coating.
- Chill the cheesecake filling before spreading for a firmer texture.
