Strawberry Sando
This recipe makes a Japanese-style fruit sandwich featuring fresh strawberries and whipped cream between soft white bread. When you slice it, the cross-section of berries looks appealing.
Equipment
- Electric whisk
- Baking parchment
Ingredients
- 150 ml Double cream
- 1 tbsp Icing sugar
- 0.5 tsp Vanilla extract optional
Soft white bread
- 8 slices Soft white bread ideally milk bread
- 500 g Strawberries ensure they’re similarly sized, hulled and halved
Instructions
- Whip the cream, sugar, and vanilla (if using) together using an electric whisk until soft peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the bread slices.
- Arrange the strawberries, cut-side down, over the cream on half the bread slices, then sandwich together with the remaining bread.
- Cut the crusts off the sandos, if you like, then halve along the middle to create triangles.
- Wrap in baking parchment to take on a picnic.
Notes
When I first tested this recipe, slicing into the sando to reveal the strawberry cross-sections felt magical—just like the perfectly crafted sandwiches I admired in Japanese cafés. It was a small but joyful moment.
