Strawberry Cheesecake Croissants

Recipes /

These strawberry cheesecake croissants are a creamy, bakery-style treat made with flaky croissants, a light cheesecake filling, and fresh strawberries.

They’re soft, slightly crisp on the outside, and filled with that rich, fluffy cream that feels SO indulgent.

It’s an easy no-bake dessert recipe that’s absolutely perfect for brunch, special mornings, or when you want something sweet that comes together without much effort.

How To Make These Strawberry Cheesecake Croissants

Ingredients You’ll Need For This Recipe

  • 3 store-bought croissants
  • 6 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar (plus extra for garnish)
  • 3 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries

Step-by-Step Guide

1. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract.

2. Whisk until smooth and creamy, and no lumps remain.

3. In a separate bowl, mix the heavy whipping cream with sugar until dissolved, then whip it into stiff peaks.

4. Add the whipped cream to the cream cheese mixture.

5. Gently whisk until everything is smooth and fully combined. The filling should be light and fluffy.

6. Slice a few strawberries into thin slices for garnish later, and cut the rest into small pieces for the filling.

7. Using a sharp knife, cut a deep slit into the top of each croissant. Be careful not to cut all the way through – you want a small pocket that can hold the filling.

8. Spoon about 2–3 tablespoons of the cheesecake filling into each croissant.

9. Top the filling with the chopped strawberry pieces.

10. Divide the rest of the cheesecake filling between the croissants and spread it over the strawberries to secure them in place.

11. Arrange the sliced strawberries on top and dust with powdered sugar.

12. Serve immediately or refrigerate for 1-2 hours to let the flavors set and the cream soften the croissants.

Important Recipe Notes

  • When serving immediately, you can warm up the croissants slightly for an even more luxurious dessert.
  • I love to chill my strawberry croissants in the fridge for a few hours before eating them, as I think they taste even more delicious this way!
  • Don’t overfill the croissants with the cheesecake filling or the strawberries, and the rest of the cheesecake cream will slide off.
  • The filling will firm up in the fridge, but the croissants can become too soggy if left for too long. Try to serve within 2 hours.
  • If you want to make these ahead, you can make the filling the day before, then store it in the fridge in an airtight container overnight. Cut the strawberries and fill the croissants right before or up to 2 hours before serving.
