- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (plus more for dusting)
- 2 cups strawberries (sliced)

- In a large mixing bowl add cream cheese, mascarpone, powdered sugar, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
- Take approximately 2 tablespoons and spread inside each croissant.
- In a mixing bowl add eggs, half and half, sugar, and vanilla. Whisk until combined. Dip each filled croissant in the egg mixture. Place in a round buttered baking dish. Repeat until you have filled and dipped each croissant. It is okay to pile them on top of each other!
