Description
Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Sandwiches are a golden, crispy, and gooey dessert made by sandwiching a sweetened cream cheese filling and strawberry jam between slices of buttery pound cake, then pan-frying to perfection. They’re quick to prepare and incredibly indulgent—perfect for brunch, dessert, or whenever a sweet craving strikes.
Ingredients
4 slices pound cake
4 oz cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons strawberry jam or preserves
2 tablespoons butter, for frying
1 teaspoon powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
2. Spread the cream cheese filling on two slices of pound cake.
3. Add a spoonful of strawberry jam over the cream cheese.
4. Top each with another slice of pound cake to create a sandwich.
5. Heat butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
6. Fry the sandwiches for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and crispy.
7. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess butter.
8. Dust with powdered sugar while still warm.
9. Slice diagonally and serve immediately.
Notes
Use a thick, sturdy pound cake to prevent the sandwich from falling apart during frying.
Don’t overfill with jam—it can leak out while frying.
An air fryer can be used for a slightly lighter, crispier finish without extra butter.
