Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Sandwiches are a decadent dessert featuring creamy cheesecake filling and sweet strawberries, sandwiched between buttery, crispy bread and fried to golden perfection. This indulgent treat is easy to make and guaranteed to impress.

Ingredients

For the Cheesecake Filling:

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon heavy cream (or milk, for a thinner consistency)

For the Sandwiches:

8 slices of bread (white, brioche, or challah work well)

1/4 cup butter, melted (for brushing)

1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced (or use strawberry preserves for a simpler option)

For Coating:

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. For the cheesecake filling, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  2. Assemble the sandwiches by spreading a generous amount of cheesecake filling onto one slice of bread. Top with sliced strawberries or strawberry preserves. Place a second slice of bread on top to form a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining bread, filling, and strawberries.
  3. In a shallow bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
  4. Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat and brush with melted butter.
  5. Dip each sandwich into the melted butter, coating both sides, then place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Immediately sprinkle the fried sandwiches with the cinnamon-sugar mixture for added sweetness.
  7. Slice the sandwiches in half and serve warm. Optionally, drizzle with chocolate sauce or whipped cream for extra indulgence.

Notes

Swap strawberries for other berries like raspberries or blueberries, or use a fruit compote for variety.

For chocolate lovers, add mini chocolate chips to the cheesecake filling.

For a richer flavor, use brioche or challah bread for the sandwiches.

Frozen strawberries can be used, but thaw and drain them to prevent excess moisture.

These sandwiches can be baked at 375°F (190°C) for 10-15 minutes for a lighter texture, though frying gives the crispiest result.
