Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 2 slices white bread (preferably shokupan)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare Strawberries – Wash strawberries thoroughly and slice into thin, even pieces for consistent distribution
- Step 2: Whip Cream – In mixing bowl, whip cold heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form (about 3 minutes)
- Step 3: Assemble Base – Spread generous layer of whipped cream on each bread slice, ensuring even coverage to edges
- Step 4: Add Strawberries – Layer sliced strawberries over one cream-covered slice, arranging for visual appeal
- Step 5: Complete Sandwich – Top with second bread slice and gently press down to adhere layers together
- Step 6: Final Touches – Trim crusts if desired and cut into diagonal halves or small squares for presentation
Notes
- Chill your mixing bowl and beaters for 15 minutes before whipping cream for faster, more stable results
- Choose strawberries that are firm but ripe, avoiding overly soft ones that release too much juice
- Pat strawberry slices dry with paper towels to prevent soggy bread and maintain crisp texture
- Wrap individual sandos in plastic wrap for 30 minutes to help flavors meld before serving
