1. Wash, hull, and slice the fresh strawberries.

2. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.

3. Gently fold in the whipped cream until the filling is light and fluffy.

4. Slice each croissant horizontally, being careful not to cut all the way through.

5. Spread or pipe the cream filling inside each croissant.

6. Add sliced strawberries over the filling.

7. Close the croissants gently and serve immediately, or chill for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.

For the best texture, use fresh croissants the same day you serve them.

Mascarpone can be used instead of cream cheese for a softer filling.

Dust with extra powdered sugar before serving for a bakery-style finish.

These croissant sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh, but can be refrigerated for up to 1 day.
