Ingredients
Scale
Sandwich
- 2 thick slices milk bread or regular thick white bread (such as Texas toast)
- 5 fresh strawberries, tops removed
Filling
- 1 tablespoon white granulated sugar
- ½ cup whipping cream or heavy cream, chilled
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberries: Wash the strawberries thoroughly, remove the tops, and slice them thinly so they fit comfortably inside the sandwich without breaking the bread.
- Sweeten the Strawberries: Sprinkle the tablespoon of granulated sugar over the sliced strawberries. Toss them gently to coat evenly and allow to sit for about 10 minutes so the sugar can draw out the natural juices and soften the fruit slightly.
- Whip the Cream: Pour the chilled whipping cream into a mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer or whisk, whip the cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip; the cream should be light and airy but still hold its shape.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Spread a generous layer of the whipped cream on one slice of bread. Arrange the sugared strawberry slices evenly over the cream. Top with the second slice of bread to complete the sandwich.
- Serve: For best taste and presentation, cut the sandwich diagonally into halves or quarters. Serve immediately to enjoy the creamy, fresh flavor and prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
Notes
- You can substitute dairy-free whipping cream alternatives if you prefer a vegan or lactose-free option.
- For a decorative touch, dust the top of the sandwich with powdered sugar before serving.
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
- This sandwich is best eaten fresh and not stored for long to maintain bread texture.
