Ingredients
Scale
Bread
- 4 slices of Japanese milk bread (shokupan) or any soft white bread
Filling
- 6-8 fresh strawberries (medium-sized, washed and hulled)
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream (cold)
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional, for extra flavor)
- ½ tbsp honey or condensed milk (optional, for added sweetness)
- Other fruits like kiwi, mango, or banana (optional, for variety)
Instructions
- Prepare the Whipped Cream: In a chilled mixing bowl, pour the cold heavy whipping cream. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and honey or condensed milk if using. Beat on medium-high speed with a hand mixer for about 2-3 minutes until soft peaks form, then refrigerate to keep chilled.
- Prepare the Strawberries and Bread: Wash, hull, and slice the strawberries thinly. If using other fruits, prepare them similarly by washing and slicing.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Lay out the bread slices. Spread a generous amount of whipped cream on one slice, then layer the sliced strawberries evenly over the cream. Add any optional fruits if desired. Spread whipped cream on the second slice and carefully place it on top to form a sandwich.
- Chill and Serve: For best results, wrap the assembled sandwich in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 10 minutes to let it set. Slice the sandwich diagonally or into halves, and serve fresh.
Notes
- Use cold heavy cream and a chilled bowl for the best whipped cream results.
- Adjust the sweetness of the whipped cream according to taste, especially if adding honey or condensed milk.
- Japanese milk bread (shokupan) is preferred for its softness, but any soft white bread works.
- More fruits can be added for variation, but keep the filling balanced to avoid sogginess.
- Serve immediately after assembling for the freshest flavor and texture.
