Ingredients

1. For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened (225g)

  • ¼ cup powdered sugar (30g)

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • ½ cup heavy cream (120ml)

  • 2 tbsp sour cream (optional, for extra tang)

2. For the Strawberry Filling:

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced (about 10-12 medium strawberries)

  • 2 tbsp sugar (30g)

  • 1 tsp lemon juice (optional, for added brightness)

3. For the Sandwiches:

  • 8 slices of thick white bread (such as brioche or Texas toast)

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (30g)

  • 2 tbsp cinnamon sugar (for dusting, optional)

Instructions

πŸ”Ή Step 1: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth and creamy.

  2. Add the vanilla extract and sour cream (if using), and beat until fully combined.

  3. Gradually add the heavy cream, a little at a time, while continuing to beat the mixture. Once the cream is incorporated, continue beating until the mixture is light and fluffy. Set aside.

πŸ”Ή Step 2: Prepare the Strawberry Filling

  1. In a small bowl, combine the diced strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice (if using). Mix well and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes to macerate and release the strawberry juices. This will create a nice syrupy consistency for the filling.

πŸ”Ή Step 3: Assemble the Sandwiches

  1. Lay out the slices of bread on a clean surface. Spread a generous amount of the cheesecake filling on one slice of bread.

  2. Spoon a tablespoon or two of the strawberry filling on top of the cheesecake layer, and spread it out evenly.

  3. Top with a second slice of bread to form a sandwich. Press the edges lightly to seal.

πŸ”Ή Step 4: Fry the Sandwiches

  1. Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add the melted butter. Once the butter is hot, place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet, one at a time.

  2. Fry each sandwich for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. You may need to adjust the heat to prevent burning while ensuring the inside gets warm and gooey.

  3. Once both sides are golden brown, remove the sandwiches from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess butter.

πŸ”Ή Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

  1. Once fried, dust the sandwiches with cinnamon sugar if desired for an extra touch of sweetness and flavor.

  2. Slice the sandwiches diagonally for an elegant presentation and serve warm.

  3. Optional: Serve with extra strawberry sauce or whipped cream for dipping.

Tips for the Perfect Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Sandwiches

  • Bread Choice: Use thick, soft bread like brioche or Texas toast for the best texture. You can also use challah for a richer flavor.

  • Filling Adjustments: If you prefer a less sweet filling, reduce the amount of powdered sugar in the cheesecake mixture. You can also add a touch of lemon zest for extra freshness.

  • Strawberry Filling: To make the strawberry filling more syrupy, you can cook it for a few minutes on low heat with a bit of water and cornstarch to thicken it up.

  • Frying Tips: Make sure the skillet is not too hot, as you want the bread to toast perfectly without burning while allowing the filling to warm up.

Calories (estimated)

  • 1 sandwich: ~400-500 kcal (depending on bread and amount of filling)

Energy-Saving Tips

  • Prepare the cheesecake and strawberry fillings ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator. When you're ready to assemble and fry the sandwiches, it'll be a quick process.

  • You can also make a batch of these sandwiches and store them in the fridge for a couple of days. Reheat them in the toaster oven for a few minutes to crisp them back up.
