FRUIT SANDWICHES (FRUIT SANDO)

When people think of tea sandwiches, savories often come to mind. But have you ever had a sweet tea sandwich? Among sweet tea sandwiches, Fruit Sandwiches, otherwise known as Fruit Sando, are my favorite.

Fruit Sando are a Japanese specialty, known for having pieces of soft fruit studded among a filling of cloud-like, lightly sweetened whipped cream. These are reminiscent of those fluffy, fruited, Asian style bakery cakes, but fantastically easier to make.

Everything starts with a soft Asian style tangzhong bread. If you can’t easily find this, then a regular Pan de Mie or super soft white bread from the grocery store works well too.

Ingredients:

• 8 slices of soft white bread, preferably Japanese Hokkaido or Tea Sandwich Bread
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 Tbsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 4 large strawberries, sliced & pat dry
• 2 kiwis, peeled, sliced, & pat dry
• 1/2 can of sliced peaches, drained, pat dry, & sliced once lengthwise
• Equipment:
• mixing bowl
• hand mixer with whisk attachment
• spreader
• serrated knife

Directions:

1. Whip the cream, gradually adding the sugar. When you have a soft peak, add the vanilla and continue to whip until you get a stiff peak.
2. Spread a few Tbsp of whipped cream on one side of each slice of bread. Place a mix of fruit pieces in a single layer, evenly on 4 of the 8 pieces. Top the fruit with another slice of bread, cream side down.
