Instructions

Make the strawberry compote by combining strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in saucepan.

Cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes until strawberries break down and release juices.

Mix cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water and stir into strawberry mixture.

Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes until thickened, then stir in vanilla.

Remove from heat and let cool completely to room temperature.

For cheesecake filling, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.

Gradually add powdered sugar, beating until well combined and no lumps remain.

Mix in heavy cream, vanilla extract, lemon zest, sour cream, and salt.

Beat until filling is smooth, creamy, and holds its shape when piped.

Lay out brioche slices and lightly butter one side of each slice.

Spread cheesecake filling generously on unbuttered side of 4 slices.

Top filling with cooled strawberry compote, leaving 1/2 inch border around edges.

Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over strawberry layer for extra texture.

Top with remaining bread slices, buttered side out, and press gently to seal.

Use toothpicks to secure sandwich corners if needed to prevent filling escape.

Heat oil in deep fryer or heavy pot to 350°F (175°C) using thermometer.

Whisk together eggs and milk in shallow bowl for egg wash.

In separate bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

Dip each sandwich in egg wash, coating both sides completely.

Dredge in flour mixture, pressing gently to help coating adhere well.

Carefully lower sandwiches into hot oil, frying 2-3 minutes per side.

Fry until golden brown and crispy, maintaining oil temperature at 350°F.

Remove with slotted spoon and drain on wire rack over paper towels.

Immediately roll warm sandwiches in cinnamon sugar mixture while still hot.

Let cool for 2-3 minutes before cutting diagonally to show beautiful layers.

Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh strawberry slices.

Serve immediately while exterior is crispy and filling is warm.

Drizzle with additional strawberry sauce and top with whipped cream if desired.
