A Japanese-style Strawberry Sandwich made with fluffy white bread, whipped cream, and fresh strawberries — a refreshing, elegant dessert or snack.
6 slices soft white sandwich bread (preferably shokupan), crusts removed
1 cup heavy whipping cream (35% fat)
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
12–15 fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
Wash and hull the strawberries. Pat dry and set aside.
In a chilled bowl, beat heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form.
Lay out bread slices and spread a generous layer of whipped cream on each.
Arrange strawberries in a triangular pattern on 3 of the slices.
Add more cream to cover the strawberries.
Top with the remaining bread slices and press gently.
Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Slice diagonally with a sharp knife and serve chilled
