Fruit Sando with Whipped Cream (Printable Version)

# What You'll Need:

→ Whipped Cream Filling

01 - 200 ml heavy whipping cream
02 - 20 g powdered sugar

→ Assembly

03 - 6 slices thick, soft bread (such as shokupan, brioche, or Texas toast)
04 - 6 medium strawberries, hulled
05 - 2 kiwis, peeled and sliced
06 - 1 large navel orange, peeled and segmented

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, combine heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar. Whip using a hand mixer or stand mixer with a whisk attachment until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
02 - Spread 1 to 2 spoonfuls of whipped cream evenly over one slice of bread. Arrange strawberries, kiwis, and orange segments on top, placing fruit to create a visually appealing pattern.
03 - Cover the arranged fruit with an additional layer of whipped cream. Spread a thin layer on another slice of bread, then place it cream-side down to form a sandwich.
04 - Wrap the assembled sandwich tightly in plastic wrap and mark a guideline for cutting. Refrigerate for 60 minutes to allow the cream to set.
05 - Remove the sandwich from the refrigerator. Unwrap, trim off the crusts with a sharp knife for clean edges, then slice in half diagonally. Serve immediately for best texture.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - For best visual effect, choose vibrant fruits like berries and kiwis to contrast with the whipped cream.
02 - Add a few drops of vanilla or almond extract to the whipped cream for a more aromatic flavor.
03 - Japanese milk bread (shokupan) delivers the ideal pillowy texture.
04 - To prevent crushing, use a sharp serrated knife to slice the sandwiches.
