Ingredients

1 (10 ounce) package frozen strawberries, thawed
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 cups milk
2 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter
8 thick slices bread

Directions

1 Preheat an oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
2 Combine the thawed strawberries with their juice and the blueberries in a bowl; set aside. Beat together the softened cream cheese and confectioner's sugar until smooth; set aside. Whisk the milk, eggs, vanilla, and cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
