๐ Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a bowl, mix together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- 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.
- Prepare the Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, egg, vanilla extract, sugar, and salt until smooth.
- Heat the Oil: Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 175°C (350°F) for perfect frying.
- 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.
- Drizzle and Serve: Drizzle sweetened condensed milk over the hot sandwiches for a decadent finish. Cut each sandwich diagonally and serve with fresh strawberries.
