Ingredients
- 100-150 ml whipping cream (see Note)
- ½ tbsp white sugar
- 2 slices fresh white bread
- 6 strawberries (see Note)
Instructions
1. Whip together cream and sugar until soft peaks hold their form.
2. Spread a layer of cream onto both slices of bread (about one third for each side), then arrange the fruit on one slice and cover thoroughly in the remaining whipped cream.
3. Place the other slice of bread, cream side down, on top. Press lightly, but firmly enough so the cream fills all crevasses.
4. Slice off the crusts with a sharp bread knife, then slice the sandwich into halves or quarters.
Note
• Any fruit of your choosing can be substituted, ensuring it’s at optimum ripeness for best results.
• You can substitute part of the cream with mascarpone, for more of a tang.
