Description

These Heavenly Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Sandwiches are the ultimate indulgent dessert! Crispy golden bread hugs creamy cheesecake filling and sweet macerated strawberries – it’s pure bliss in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Cheesecake Filling:
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup heavy cream
For the Strawberry Filling:
1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
For the Sandwich Assembly:
8 slices of brioche bread (or similar)
4 tablespoons butter, softened
For Frying:
2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

In a bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla; mix until combined.
Whip heavy cream to stiff peaks, then fold into the cream cheese mixture. Chill for 30 minutes.
Combine sliced strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a bowl. Let sit for 15 minutes to macerate.
Butter one side of each slice of bread. Spread cheesecake filling on 4 slices (unbuttered side), top with strawberries, and close with remaining bread (buttered side out).
Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Grill sandwiches for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown.
Let cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar or topped with whipped cream, chocolate sauce, or ice cream.

Notes

For best results, use ripe, fresh strawberries and high-quality cream cheese. You can swap in raspberries, blueberries, or even peaches. Great served with a drizzle of chocolate or scoop of vanilla ice cream!
