Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups frozen sliced strawberries
  • 1 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 Tbsp cold water
  • 2 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice (fresh or bottled)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup icing sugar
  • 1 cup plus 2 Tbsp heavy cream, chilled
  • Icing sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberry Filling: Mix cornstarch with cold water until dissolved. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine strawberries, brown sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch mixture. Cook until thickened (5-7 minutes) and let cool.
  2. Make the Cream Filling: Beat softened cream cheese until smooth, then gradually mix in icing sugar. In another bowl, whip chilled heavy cream until soft peaks form, then fold into the cream cheese mixture.
  3. Assemble Croissants: Preheat oven if using store-bought croissants. Cut each croissant in half horizontally. Layer strawberry filling on the bottom half, followed by cream filling before topping with the other half.
  4. Final Touches: Dust with icing sugar and garnish with fresh strawberry slices.
