Strawberry Fruit Sando is a beautiful Japanese fruit sandwich made with fluffy bread, sweet cream, and fresh strawberries using an easy beginner-friendly method.
Prepare Strawberries. Hull the strawberries. Cut 9 strawberries in half and finely dice the remaining 2 strawberries for the filling.
11 Small Fresh Strawberries
Make Sandwich Filling. In a small bowl, beat together the cream cheese, heavy cream, confectioners’ sugar, and vanilla extract with a hand mixer until thick, fluffy, and stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the diced strawberries.
⅓ Cup Whipped Cream Cheese, 1 Cup Heavy Cream, 2 Teaspoons Confectioners Sugar, ¼ Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Assemble Sandwiches. Spread the strawberry filling generously on 3 slices of bread and top with the remaining slices to make sandwiches. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to help the filling firm up.
6 Slices White Sandwich Bread
Slice and Garnish. Using a sharp knife, trim away the crusts and cut each sandwich diagonally in half. Press 3 strawberry halves into the cream filling along the cut diagonal edge of each sandwich half, placing the cut side facing outward for a pretty presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
For the Prettiest Sandwiches: Chill the wrapped sandwiches for at least 2 hours before trimming and decorating. A firm filling makes assembly easier and helps the strawberries stay neatly in place.Bread Tip: Soft white sandwich bread or Japanese milk bread works best for fruit sando.
