For the Sandwiches:

• 🧀 1 cup cream cheese (softened): The creamy center.
• 🍭 ¼ cup powdered sugar: For sweetness.
• 🍦 1 teaspoon vanilla extract: For a hint of sweetness.
• 🍓 1 cup fresh strawberries (sliced): Juicy fruit bursts.
• 🍯 ½ cup strawberry jam: A touch of fruity goodness.

For the Batter:

• 🥣 1 cup all-purpose flour: For a crunchy coating.
• 🥛 1 cup milk: For a smooth texture.
• 🥚 1 large egg: For structure.
• 🍦 1 teaspoon vanilla extract: A bit more flavor.
• 🍬 1 tablespoon granulated sugar: For sweetness.
• 🧂 A pinch of salt: To balance the flavors.

For Frying:

• 🫒 Vegetable oil: For perfect frying.

For Drizzling (Optional):

• 🍶 ½ cup sweetened condensed milk: For an extra touch of sweetness.

📝 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a bowl, mix together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
2. Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread a thick layer of the cream cheese filling on one side of four slices of bread. Add the sliced strawberries and a spoonful of jam. Place the remaining slices of bread on top to form sandwiches. Gently press to seal the edges.
3. Prepare the Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, egg, vanilla extract, sugar, and salt until smooth.
4. Heat the Oil: Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 175°C (350°F) for perfect frying.
5. Coat and Fry: Dip each sandwich in the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Carefully slide each sandwich into the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and let drain on paper towels.
6. Drizzle and Serve: Drizzle sweetened condensed milk over the hot sandwiches for a decadent finish. Cut each sandwich diagonally and serve with fresh strawberries.
