Japanese Strawberry Sandwich
Serves3-6
Cooking time
1h
Like a strawberry shortcake, this Japanese Strawberry Sandwich is deliciously fluffy, creamy with sweet juicy strawberries! They make the perfect sweet treat. Recipe by: Justine Schofield
Ingredients
1 punnetDriscoll's strawberries
1 batch of Chantilly cream (thickened cream, vanilla bean paste, icing sugar)
6 extra thick-cut slices of day-old white square bread
Method
-
Cream
Spread a generous spoonful of cream over 3 pieces of bread.
-
Strawberries
Cut the tops off the strawberries so they are roughly the same size. Place strawberries in a line, all pointing the same direction, diagonally across the centre of the bread. Add more strawberries across the other diagonal line, this should create a X shape. Coat all the strawberries with another generous spoonful of cream and cover with a piece of bread.
-
Serving
Remove the cling wrap and use a serrated knife to remove the crust, making perfect squares. Follow the X shape to cut the sandwiches into 4 triangles, exposing the strawberries, and serve.

Handy hint
If you have time, wrap the sandwiches individually in cling wrap, gently squishing down to ensure they’re even. Place in the fridge to set for 1 hour, this will make the sandwich firmer and easier to cut.
