How to Make the Recipe
Let’s dive into the 4 easy steps to create this Japanese Strawberry Sandwich:
- Evenly spread half a cup of whipped cream on one slice of crustless bread. Make sure to cover it nicely for a creamy base.
- Place three California strawberries in a diagonal, all in one direction. Then, add one strawberry on each empty side to fill it out beautifully.
- Spread another half a cup of whipped cream and cover all of the strawberries. This step ensures the sandwich is both fruity and creamy.
- Put the other slice of bread on top and wrap the entire sandwich in plastic wrap. Wrap tightly and use a marker to mark on the plastic wrap where you want to diagonally cut your sandwich to present it nicely.
Pro Tips for Making the Recipe
Here are a few tips to make your Japanese Strawberry Sandwich even better:
- Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
- Don’t overfill the sandwich with whipped cream—just enough to cover the strawberries nicely.
- Let the sandwich sit in the fridge for about 10 minutes before cutting to let the flavors meld together.
How to Serve
This dessert is perfect on its own, but you can also pair it with other treats for a special occasion. Try serving it alongside some Easy Lemon Truffles or No-Bake Brownie Bites for a variety of flavors. If you’re feeling tropical, you could even add a side of Coconut Cake with Pineapple Filling!
Make Ahead and Storage
You can prepare the Japanese Strawberry Sandwich up to 2 hours before serving. Simply wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the fridge until you’re ready to slice and serve. For the best results, don’t leave it in the fridge for too long, as the bread can become soggy.
And there you have it—your very own Japanese Strawberry Sandwich, ready to impress your family and friends with its elegant presentation and delicious taste. Happy cooking, and don’t forget to share your creations with me on social media!
