How to Make a Balsamic Strawberry Cream Cheese Croissant Sandwiches
1 — Toast the croissants until golden and crisp. Then, slice in half.
2 — Melt butter in a pan over medium heat, then add strawberries, balsamic vinegar, and sugar. Cook for 5 minutes until soft and deep red. Let cool.
3 — Spread cream cheese on the bottom half of each croissant.
4 — Add the balsamic strawberries.
5 — Top with the other croissant half and drizzle with chocolate syrup or hot fudge.
Recipe Notes and Tips
- Don’t overcook the strawberries: You want them soft but not mushy. A quick 5-minute simmer is enough to enhance their flavor.
- Cooling: Let the balsamic strawberries cool slightly before adding them to the croissants to avoid melting the cream cheese too much.
- Experiment: A pinch of sea salt on top balances the sweetness beautifully.
- Assemble just before serving: To keep the croissants from getting soggy.
