Ingredients

  

• 1 cups finely chopped strawberries

For the Cream

1. In a bowl add the cream cheese and sugar and using a hand mixer, or whisk, blend them until nicely combined
2. Add 2 teaspoons vanilla and the strawberries until the mixture forms a more whipped consistency and the cream cheese begins turning pink from the strawberries. If you want a sweeter flavor, add more sugar and vanilla depending on personal taste
3. In a separate large metal bowl, whisk ½ a cup of the heavy cream until it begins to thicken
4. Add the heavy cream into the cheesecake mixture and using a whisk, blend
5. Leave this to the side
6. For the French toast
7. Melt a tablespoon of butter in a frying pan over a medium-low heat
8. In a bowl, add the eggs, cinnamon, remaining 2 teaspoons of vanilla, and a quarter cup of heavy cream, and whisk
9. Dip the bread in the egg mixture on both sides, but not too much as it will get soggy
10. Transfer it to the frying pan and cook on each side over a low heat until each side crisps slightly
11. Plate the bread, sprinkle powdered sugar and add drizzle the cream and add the remaining of the diced strawberries
