Next, spread the whipped cream on both sides of the sandwich bread.

On one side of the sandwich bread, align the strawberries on top of the whipped cream. To cut the sandwich diagonally or into quarters, you must place the strawberries in a cross shape. Take a picture or draw a line over the plastic wrap to remember where to cut the sandwich.

Tips for making this recipe

Recipe variations: Feel free to use other fruits to make your Fruit Sando. Orange, kiwi, banana, blueberries, and grapes will work!

Don’t forget the fruit orientation when cutting: Take a picture or draw a line over the plastic wrap to remember where to cut the sandwich.

Use fruit of the same size: This will ensure a sandwich with perfectly shaped fruit. 

Refrigerate before cutting: Ensure you refrigerate your sandwich before cutting for the best results.

Clean your knife after each cut: This will ensure your bread doesn’t get whipped cream all over it.
