Ingredients

  • 2 slices fluffy milk bread or Japanese shokupan
  • 5 large strawberries or smaller ones
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream
  • 3 tsp. icing sugar

Instructions

  • All ingredients ready? Let's begin!
  • Wash the strawberries, remove stems, and pat them dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
  • Prepare a large bowl with some ice water and a medium bowl that fits on top of the larger bowl. Place cream in medium bowl and start whisking on low speed.
  • Once bubbly, gradually add sugar and whisk at medium-high speed. Stop when the cream has formed into stiff peaks. It should stick to the whisk when you lift it.
  • Now, remove the bowl from the ice water, take a hand whisk and finish whisking by hand until you achieve the desired consistency. It should be spreadable, but not runny. Don’t over-whisk, you’ll end up with butter.
  • Prepare plastic wrap, enough to be able to wrap the sandwich tightly. Place slices of bread on the plastic wrap.
  • Spread whipped cream on both slices. About 3 tablespoons per side.
  • Carefully arrange the strawberries diagonally on one side of the bread. Think about how it will look when you cut the sandwich diagonally. If you have large strawberries, place 3 of them diagonally down the center of the slice, then place one strawberry on each corner.
  • Cover up the spaces in between the strawberries with more whipped cream. Place the other slice of bread on top and tightly wrap the sandwich. Draw a diagonal line on the plastic wrap with a permanent marker to remember where you placed the strawberries.
  • Place it in between two plates in the fridge for at least 1 hour or overnight.
  • To cut the sandwich, put it on a cutting board and run a clean knife under hot water. Remove the plastic wrap and cut the sandwich diagonally where the marked line is. Don’t open the sandwich to show the cross-section yet.
  • Clean the knife with hot water, gently press down the sandwich and cut the edges. Now you can expose the beautiful cross-section.
  • Eat immediately after cutting. Store in the fridge overnight before cutting if you want to prepare this Strawberry Sando ahead of time.
