Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups whipped cream store-bought or freshly whipped
  • 4 slices soft white bread crusts removed
  • 10 fresh strawberries washed and hulled

Method
 

    1. Start with the Base

    Lay one slice of crustless bread flat. Spread a thick, even layer of whipped cream (about ½ cup).Tip: Don’t skimp—this helps hold everything in place.

    2. Arrange the Strawberries

    Place strawberries diagonally across the bread in a neat line, all facing the same direction. Add extra strawberries on the sides to fill any gaps.This step = that signature pretty cross-section later.

    3. Cover with Cream

    Spoon another layer of whipped cream over the strawberries, making sure they’re fully covered and surrounded.

    4. Seal the Sandwich

    Place the second slice of bread on top and gently press down to secure everything.

    5. Wrap & Chill

    Wrap the sandwich tightly in plastic wrap. Use a marker to draw a diagonal line on the wrap—this shows where to cut later. Chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour.

    6. Slice & Serve

    Unwrap and slice along the marked line. Reveal that beautiful strawberry pattern and serve immediately.
