Description

Ingredients

Scale

For the Bread

Soft white bread (crustless), about 8 slices

For the Whipped Crème Filling

1 cup fresh whipping cream (chilled)
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Fruit

Strawberries or seasonal fruits (thinly sliced, as desired)

Instructions

Prepare the Whipped Crème: Chill the mixing bowl and whisk attachment in the freezer for 15 minutes. Then, whip the cold heavy cream together with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form, creating the velvety filling for the sandwiches.
Trim the Bread Crust: Carefully remove the crusts from each slice of soft white bread using a sharp knife to achieve smooth, neat edges.
Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread a generous and even layer of the whipped crème onto one slice of bread. If using fruit, add thinly sliced strawberries or your chosen fruit evenly on top of the cream. Then cover with another slice of bread to complete the sandwich.
Chill Before Serving: Wrap each assembled sandwich lightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the crème to set and flavors to meld beautifully.
Slice and Serve: Before serving, slice the sandwiches into delicate, bite-sized pieces or neat rectangles for easy handling and an elegant presentation.

Notes

Use fresh cream and ripe fruit to enhance flavor and texture.
Do not overwhip the cream to avoid turning it into butter; whip only until soft peaks form.
Use the freshest bread possible to ensure maximum fluffiness.
Chill sandwiches fully before slicing for cleaner cuts.
Optionally, lightly toast the bread for a firmer crust and contrasting texture.
