Ingredients
Scale
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
For the Sandwich:
- 4 large croissants
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/4 cup strawberry jam (optional)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Then, add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice, mixing well until the mixture is creamy and fully combined.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Carefully slice each croissant horizontally in half. Spread a generous amount of the cheesecake filling on the bottom half of each croissant. Layer the fresh sliced strawberries on top of the cream cheese mixture. If desired, spread a thin layer of strawberry jam on the top half of each croissant. Close the sandwiches by placing the top half over the berries.
- Serve: Optionally, dust the top of the croissant sandwiches with powdered sugar for an elegant finish. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors and creamy texture.
Notes
- Use very fresh strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
- If you prefer, substitute the croissants with brioche or other soft rolls.
- To make the filling lighter, you can fold in some whipped cream to the cream cheese mixture.
- This sandwich is best enjoyed fresh to prevent the croissant from becoming soggy.
- For a sweeter touch, add more powdered sugar or strawberry jam as desired.
