Instructions
Making Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Sandwiches is a fun and rewarding process. Follow these steps to achieve delicious results:
1. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
2. Add Strawberries: Gently fold in the chopped strawberries into the cream cheese mixture until evenly distributed.
3. Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread a generous amount of the strawberry cheesecake filling on one slice of bread, then top with another slice to form a sandwich. Repeat for all slices.
4. Prepare the Batter: In a shallow dish, whisk together the milk, flour, baking powder, and cinnamon until smooth.
5. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat about 1-2 inches of vegetable oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
6. Dip the Sandwiches: Carefully dip each sandwich into the batter, ensuring both sides are well coated.
7. Fry the Sandwiches: Place the coated sandwiches in the hot oil, cooking for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Do not overcrowd the pan; fry in batches if necessary.
8. Drain Excess Oil: Once fried, transfer the sandwiches to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
9. Dust with Powdered Sugar: Before serving, dust the sandwiches with extra powdered sugar for a sweet touch.
10. Serve Warm: Enjoy these delicious sandwiches while they are still warm for the best experience.
