Ingredients:
For the Sandwiches:
8 slices of brioche or thick white bread
1 cup cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
1/2 cup strawberry jam or preserves
For the Batter:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp granulated sugar
Pinch of salt
For Frying:
Vegetable oil for frying
For the Drizzle:
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk (optional for extra decadence)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling:
In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the Sandwiches:
Spread a generous layer of cream cheese mixture on one side of four slices of bread.
Top with sliced strawberries and a small spoonful of strawberry jam.
Place the other slices of bread on top to form sandwiches. Press gently to seal.
- Prepare the Batter:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, egg, vanilla extract, granulated sugar, and salt until smooth.
- Heat the Oil:
Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Coat and Fry:
Dip each sandwich into the batter, ensuring it’s fully coated. Gently place into the hot oil.
Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Drizzle and Serve:
Drizzle the sandwiches with sweetened condensed milk for added sweetness.
Cut each sandwich in half diagonally and serve warm with fresh strawberries on the side.
These crispy and creamy treats are perfect for indulgent dessert lovers! Enjoy the mix of textures and flavors!
