Description
A light and elegant Japanese-style fruit sandwich made with fluffy milk bread, sweet whipped cream, and fresh ripe strawberries. Perfect for special occasions or a delightful snack.
Ingredients
2 thick slices of Japanese milk bread (shokupan) or fluffy white bread
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (30–36%)
1–2 tablespoons granulated or icing sugar (to taste)
4–6 fresh ripe strawberries (similar size, hulled and halved)
Instructions
- Wash, hull, and halve the strawberries. Choose ones of similar size for neat presentation.
- In a chilled bowl, whip cold heavy cream with sugar until firm peaks form.
- Trim the crusts from the bread slices to create clean edges.
- Spread whipped cream evenly on one slice of bread.
- Arrange strawberry halves cut-side down in a neat row over the cream. Fill gaps with more whipped cream.
- Top with the second slice of bread, pressing gently.
- Wrap the sandwich tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours to set.
- Using a sharp serrated knife, slice the sandwich diagonally. Wipe the blade between cuts for clean edges.
Notes
- Use chilled tools for best whipped cream texture.
- Best eaten the day it’s made, but can be stored in fridge for up to 2 days.
- Not suitable for freezing – cream and bread will lose texture.
- For dairy-free version, use chilled full-fat coconut milk cream.
- Try other fruits like kiwi, mango, or grapes for variation.
