Ingredients
Scale
Whipped Cream
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla essence (optional)
Sandwich
- 4 slices milk bread
- 10 strawberries
Instructions
- Prepare the Whipped Cream: In a bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla essence if using. Whip the mixture using a hand mixer or whisk until stiff peaks form, ensuring a smooth and fluffy texture.
- Prepare Strawberries and Bread: Remove the leaves from the strawberries by cutting off the tops. Cut off the crusts from the milk bread slices to create clean edges.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Spread a generous layer of whipped cream evenly on one slice of milk bread. Arrange 3 strawberries in a diagonal line and place one on each side next to the middle strawberry, ensuring all face the same direction for an attractive presentation.
- Add More Cream and Top Slice: Spread another layer of whipped cream over the arranged strawberries, completely covering them. Place another slice of milk bread on top and gently smooth the sides without pressing too hard to keep the sandwich fluffy.
- Chill and Set: Wrap the sandwich tightly with plastic wrap. Optionally, draw a line on top following the diagonal strawberry arrangement to guide cutting. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or freeze for a minimum of 15 minutes to set the sandwich firmly.
- Slice and Serve: Using a sharp knife, slice the sandwich along the diagonal line of strawberries to reveal the beautiful cross-section. Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, creamy flavors.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best sweetness and appearance.
- Chilling the sandwich helps maintain its shape and makes slicing easier.
- Milk bread is preferred for its soft texture, but any soft white bread can be used.
- For a vegan alternative, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and use vegan bread.
- Handle the sandwich gently when assembling to keep the whipped cream fluffy.
