Servings: 3
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream (at least 40% milk fat)
- 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 6 slices shokupan (Japanese milk bread) (Use a loaf with 8 slices. If you can’t find an 8-slice loaf, I recommend either slicing a 4-slice loaf in half horizontally or cutting an unsliced loaf into slices about ⅗ inch (1.5 cm) thick.)
- 6 strawberries
- 1 ½ kiwis
- 2-3 bananas
Instructions
- Prepare an ice bath in a large bowl. Set a slightly smaller bowl inside it, then add heavy cream and sugar. Whip the mixture until it forms medium-stiff peaks (about 80-90% of the way to stiff peaks).As a guideline, it takes about 5 minutes with a hand mixer or 15-20 minutes with a whisk. The ideal temperature range for whipping cream is around 40-45℉ (4-8℃). Note that if the temperature falls outside this range, the cream can become grainy or may not hold its shape.
- Remove the stems from the strawberries. Peel the kiwis and cut them in half crosswise. Cut the bananas in half or into thirds, depending on their size. If there is any moisture on the surface of the fruit, pat it dry with a paper towel.
- Spread the whipped cream on one side of each slice of shokupan bread. Pair the slices and arrange the fruit diagonally over the cream on one slice.When placing the fruit, keep in mind how the cross-section will look so that it appears attractive once cut.
- Spread more cream over the fruit until it is completely covered, then place the other slice on top, cream side down, to make a sandwich.
- Wrap the sandwich snugly in plastic wrap. Then, refrigerate it for at least an hour.This step helps the cream set properly, resulting in a clean, attractive cross-section when cut. Some cream may squeeze out while wrapping, but that’s fine.
- Remove the plastic wrap from the sandwich, then trim off the crusts. Cut the sandwich diagonally, then cut each half diagonally again. For cleaner cuts, it is best to wipe the knife with a paper towel between each cut.
Notes
- You can store it in the refrigerator for up to a day.
