Sharing is caring!

You’ll love this creative sandwich idea! Japanese fruit sandwiches make a colorful and creative dessert that you can bring to a picnic or serve to your family for a fun surprise.

This creative sandwich recipe is a light and refreshing dessert perfect for spring or summer. They are a popular Japanese treat that combines soft bread with fresh fruit and whipped cream to make it both sweet and hearty.

Although many people think of sandwiches as either a PBJ or the meat and cheese variety, this creative sandwich mixes things up a little. It is a fresh twist on the traditional sandwich.

In this Japanese fruit sandwich recipe, we will use juicy strawberries and tart kiwi to create a flavor explosion in each bite. The whipped cream gives a creamy and airy texture that balances out the sweetness of the fruit. And the milk bread, covered in a thin layer of cream, perfectly complements the bright and juicy fruit.

Note that this creative sandwich recipe requires freezing the sandwiches for an hour and a half, so this is something you will want to prepare in advance of any gathering or picnic.

Once you and your kids get the hang of these creative sandwiches, you can also experiment with other seasonal fruits, such as mangos, bananas, peaches, or pineapple slices in your fruit sandwich.

So, let’s get started and learn how to make this delicious treat in just a few simple steps.

Ingredients for Your Super Creative Sandwich:

• 2 slices of toasted milk bread
• 1 cup of whipping cream (at least 33% cream)
• 1 tbsp. powdered sugar
• 1-2 kiwis
• 4 strawberries
• Green candy melts

Instructions for Japanese Fruit Sandwich

1. Cut off the tips of the strawberries. Use a sharp knife to cut out the crown on top. Shape them into small strawberries to serve. Brush the tails with the green candy melts. You can also use melted white chocolate with green food coloring.

2. Peel the kiwis. Slice the berries into slices.

3. Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.

4. Cover a cutting board with cling wrap. Place 1 slice of bread. Cover it with a layer of cream. Mentally determine the diagonal along which you will cut the sandwich. Place the strawberries so that the cut will look like a tulip.

5. Cover the berries with the cream.

6. Continue to alternate berries and cream. Place the remaining sliced berries on the loose corners. Cover everything generously with cream. Finish the assembly with a slice of bread on top.

7. Wrap the sandwich in cling wrap. Mark the direction of the cut with a marker. Place the sandwich in the freezer for 1.5 hours.

Now cut the crusts off and slice the sandwich in half diagonally. Place the fruit sandwiches on a plate and garnish with small strawberries. These sandwiches taste like a creamy filling with a light fruity twist.
