Ingredients
  

  • For the Cheesecake Filling:
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp heavy cream or milk
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon optional
  • For the Sandwiches:
  • 8 slices white or brioche bread
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries diced
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp butter softened
  • For Frying:
  • 2 cups vegetable oil for frying
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp cinnamon optional

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream. Use a hand mixer or whisk to beat the mixture until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add ¼ tsp of cinnamon if desired for extra flavor. Set aside.
  4. Prepare the Strawberry Filling
  5. In a small bowl, mix diced strawberries with 2 tbsp of granulated sugar. Stir well and let sit for about 10 minutes to release their juices.
  6. Assemble the Sandwiches
  7. Lay out 4 slices of bread. Spread a generous amount of the cheesecake filling onto each slice.
  8. Top with a spoonful of the sugared strawberries.
  9. Place the remaining 4 slices of bread on top to form sandwiches.
  10. Lightly butter the outside of each sandwich to help them crisp up during frying.
  11. Fry the Sandwiches
  12. Heat 2 cups of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat, aiming for 350°F (175°C).
  13. Test the oil by dropping in a small piece of bread—if it sizzles immediately, it’s ready.
  14. Carefully place the sandwiches in the hot oil. Fry for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Press gently on the sandwiches to ensure even frying.
  15. Coat the Sandwiches
  16. While the sandwiches are frying, mix ¼ cup granulated sugar with ½ tsp cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
  17. Once the sandwiches are fried, remove them from the oil and immediately coat them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
