Ingredients
- 2 thick slices milk bread or sub with thick white bread
- 5 strawberries with tops cut off
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar white
- ½ cup whipping cream 35%, or see notes below on how to make this dairy-free
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add whipping cream and white granulated sugar. Whisk until you have firm stiff peaks but don't over whip it. Keep this chilled in the fridge until you're ready to assemble the sandwich. Tip: if you have an electric hand mixer or stand mixer, start whisking on low speed and work your way up to medium-high speed.
- Slice off the crusts of your bread with a sharp or serrated knife.
- Lay out a large sheet of plastic wrap on a cutting board and place a slice of bread on top. Spread a thin layer of the whipped cream on top of the bread and then place the strawberries in an 'X' shape pointing in the same direction. Remember which direction they’re pointing in.
- Cover the strawberries with whipped cream on top ensuring all holes are filled. Cover with the remaining slice of bread. Fill in any gaping holes with more whipped cream especially on the sides and corners.
- Tightly wrap the sandwich with plastic wrap. Draw a diagonal line on the plastic wrap indicating which direction the strawberries are pointing so you can slice on the line.
- Rest the sandwich in the back of the fridge for at least 30 minutes to set the cream or 2-3 hours if you have extra time (overnight works too). You can also quick-freeze it for 15 minutes.
- Remove the plastic wrap. Diagonally slice the sandwich where the line was with a large sharp knife or serrated knife. Enjoy immediately!

Notes
- For a dairy-free version, replace whipping cream with the solid fat portion of chilled whole-fat coconut milk, discarding liquids.
- Use thick slices of soft milk bread or a similar white bread for best texture.
- Keep the whipped cream chilled until assembly to maintain stability.
