1 cups of finely chopped strawberries

3 eggs
Heavy cream
1 Teaspoon of cinnamon
4 Teaspoons of vanilla extract
1 package of cream cheese at room temperature
½ cup of powdered sugar
Instructions:
For the Cream:
- In a bowl add the cream cheese and sugar and using a hand mixer, or whisk, blend them until nicely combined
- 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
- In a separate large metal bowl, whisk ½ a cup of the heavy cream until it begins to thicken
- Add the heavy cream into the cheesecake mixture and using a whisk, blend
- Leave this to the side
For the French toast
- Melt a tablespoon of butter in a frying pan over a medium-low heat
- In a bowl, add the eggs, cinnamon, remaining 2 teaspoons of vanilla, and a quarter cup of heavy cream, and whisk
- Dip the bread in the egg mixture on both sides, but not too much as it will get soggy
- Transfer it to the frying pan and cook on each side over a low heat until each side crisps slightly
- Plate the bread, sprinkle powdered sugar and add drizzle the cream and add the remaining of the diced strawberries
- Enjoy!
