# 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.
