Equipment You’ll Need:
- Mixing bowls
- Hand mixer or whisk
- Shallow bowl for batter
- Large skillet or deep pot
- Slotted spoon or tongs
- Wire rack + paper towels
Ingredients:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 8 slices white bread (thick cut works best!)
- Oil for frying (vegetable, canola, or peanut)
Instructions:
- Make the filling: In a bowl, whip the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
- Prep the strawberries: In another bowl, combine the sliced strawberries and granulated sugar. Let sit 10-15 minutes until juicy.
- Mix the batter: Whisk together flour and milk in a shallow dish until smooth and a little runny.
- Assemble sandwiches: Spread cream cheese mixture onto one slice of bread. Top with sweetened strawberries (leave behind extra juice). Add another bread slice on top, pressing gently at the edges.
- Heat the oil: Fill a skillet or pot with 1 inch of oil and heat to 350°F (175°C).
- Batter & fry: Dip each sandwich in batter, let excess drip off, then fry 2-3 min per side until golden brown. Work in batches.
- Drain & serve: Let drain on a rack over paper towels. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with leftover strawberry syrup if you like!
Extra Tips & Variations:
- Swap strawberries for raspberries or blueberries for a fun twist.
- Add a sprinkle of cinnamon to the batter for extra flavor.
- These are best served warm, fresh from the fryer!
