Introduction

If you’re looking for a dessert that’s crispy, creamy, and bursting with fruity sweetness,
fried strawberry cheesecake sandwiches are the ultimate indulgence. This recipe combines the
classic richness of cheesecake filling with fresh strawberries, layered between slices of bread,
then fried to golden perfection. It’s a fun twist on traditional cheesecake and makes for a
delightful treat at parties, special gatherings, or even a cozy night in.

Ingredients

• 8 slices of brioche or white bread
• 1 cup cream cheese, softened
• ¼ cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons milk
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• ½ cup breadcrumbs (or crushed graham crackers)
• Oil, for frying
• Powdered sugar, for dusting
• Optional: chocolate or strawberry sauce for drizzling

Instructions

1. Make the filling: In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
2. Assemble sandwiches: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on one side of each bread slice. Sprinkle chopped strawberries over four slices, then top with the remaining slices to form sandwiches.
3. Prepare coating: In one bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Place the flour in a second bowl and breadcrumbs (or graham cracker crumbs) in a third.
4. Coat sandwiches: Lightly press the sandwiches together, then dip each one into the flour, then the egg wash, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
5. Fry: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry each sandwich until golden brown on both sides, about 2–3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
6. Serve: Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with chocolate or strawberry sauce if desired. Serve warm for the best flavor.

Description

These fried strawberry cheesecake sandwiches are crispy on the outside and luxuriously creamy on the inside.
The golden fried bread encases a rich cheesecake filling that’s perfectly balanced by the tartness of fresh strawberries.
Every bite delivers a satisfying crunch followed by a sweet, tangy, and creamy explosion of flavor.

Tips

• Bread choice: Brioche or challah bread works best because of its slightly sweet, soft texture.
• Strawberries: Pat the strawberries dry before adding them to avoid excess moisture that can make the sandwiches soggy.
• Coating variation: For extra crunch and flavor, use crushed graham crackers instead of plain breadcrumbs.
• Healthier twist: Instead of frying, try air frying at 375°F (190°C) for 5–7 minutes.
• Make-ahead option: Assemble the sandwiches ahead of time and keep them chilled; coat and fry just before serving.

Correction

Some people may overfill the sandwiches, which makes them difficult to fry evenly.
Be sure to spread the filling thinly and evenly to keep everything intact while cooking.

Enjoy

Serve these irresistible fried strawberry cheesecake sandwiches warm, dusted with powdered sugar,
and maybe a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side. They’re a guaranteed crowd-pleaser that will
make any occasion feel special!
