Ingredients
- 1 kiwifruit
- 1 mango
- 14 strawberries
- 1/2 pint heavy cream
- 3 1/2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 slices Japanese sandwich bread
Instructions
-
Slice and peel the kiwifruit into 3/4-inch thick rounds.
-
Peel the mango, trim off the tapered edges, and cut the mango into 3/4-inch thick batons.
-
Remove the tops from the strawberries. If they are very large, slice them in half.
-
Add the heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract to a cold bowl and whip the cream until firm peaks form.
-
Spread an even layer of whipped cream on 4 slices of bread.
-
Top the cream with the fruit. Be sure to arrange them along where you will cut the sandwich so that the fruit shows up evenly.
-
Fill in the gaps between the fruit with more cream, and then top the fruit with an even layer of cream.
-
Cover the sandwiches with the remaining four slices of bread, and then remove the crusts.
-
Refrigerating the sandwiches for at least 1 hour will make them easier to cut. When you are ready to eat them, slice them into halves or quarters.
