Japanese Strawberry Sandwich (Fruit Sando)
Light, creamy, and filled with fresh strawberries — this simple treat is a classic Japanese favourite and so easy to make at home!
Ingredients
- 2 slices soft white bread shokupan or any fluffy white loaf
- 150 ml double cream or whipped cream
- 10-15 g sugar powdered sugar works best
- A few fresh strawberries
Instructions
- Prepare the strawberries: Wash and pat dry the strawberries with kitchen paper. Remove the stems and set aside.
- Whip the cream: In a mixing bowl, whip the double cream and sugar until stiff peaks form. (Since it’s a small amount, it whips quickly — be careful not to overwhip.)
- Assemble the sandwich: Spread a generous layer of whipped cream on one slice of bread. Arrange the strawberries on top, then cover them with more cream to fill in any gaps. Place the second slice of bread on top to close the sandwich.
- Wrap and chill: Wrap the sandwich tightly in cling film. For cleaner cuts, mark a cutting guide with a sticker or gently score the cling film. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to firm up.
- Slice and serve: Remove from the fridge, unwrap, and slice through your marked lines. Serve immediately and enjoy!
