How to Make Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Sandwiches
1️⃣ Make the Filling
In a small bowl, mix softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy.
2️⃣ Assemble the Sandwiches
Spread the cheesecake filling on 4 slices of bread. Top with fresh strawberry slices (or jam). Cover with the other slices to make sandwiches.
3️⃣ Fry the Sandwiches
Heat your skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Place the sandwiches in and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
4️⃣ Serve & Enjoy
Remove from the pan, dust with powdered sugar, slice in half, and dig in while they’re warm and gooey!
What to Serve with Them
- Fresh fruit or berry compote
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream for full-on dessert mode
- A cup of hot coffee or tea
- Or just eat them as they are – no judgment here!
Tips for the Best Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Sandwiches
✔️ Use softened cream cheese so it spreads easily.
✔️ Don’t rush the frying – medium heat is your friend for that perfect golden crisp!
✔️ Wipe out the skillet and add more butter if frying in batches.
How to Store & Reheat
If you somehow have leftovers (good luck!), wrap them tightly and store in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium-low heat to revive that crispy exterior – microwaving makes them soggy!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these ahead?
They’re best fresh, but you can prep the filling and slice the strawberries a day ahead!
Can I bake instead of fry?
Technically yes! Brush with melted butter and bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes, flipping halfway.
Can I use frozen berries?
Absolutely. Just thaw and drain them well so your sandwich doesn’t get soggy.
