To Make the Strawberry Compote
- 2
Cut the strawberries into small cubes, and add them to a pot on medium heat.
- 3
Add the sugar, lemon zest, and juice and mix well.
- 4
Mash the strawberries lightly, you don’t want to puree them but you don’t want huge strawberry chunks either.
- 5
Lower the heat to low, and keep mixing occasionally so they don’t stick and burn.
- 6
Now make the cornstarch slurry by mixing the water and cornstarch together until smooth. Add to the strawberry mixture and mix well.
- 7
Let it thicken for a minute before removing it from the heat and letting it cool before using.
- 8
If your mixture is too liquidy, add another 1½ teaspoons of cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon of water and return to the stovetop until thickened.
- 9
To Make the Cream

Add the cream cheese and powdered sugar to a bowl (or stand mixer bowl) and beat until smooth. Scrape down the sides and beat again.

Then add the heavy cream and vanilla and beat until stiff peaks, about 5-10 minutes on high speed.

Now cut your croissants in half, add your desired amount of compote, then pipe in the cheesecake filling using a piping bag so it’s easier.
