  • 3 tsp of sugar
  • A dash of vanilla essence
Preparation:
  1. Wash and prepare your fruits
  2. In a medium bowl that’s been chilled, pour in the whipping cream.
  3. Using chilled beaters on your hand mixer (or a chilled whisk, if you’re whipping by hand), whip the cream until it’s foamy and bubbly.
  4. Add the sugar and vanilla, and continue beating until the cream holds its shape.
  5. Lay out the 4 slices of bread on a tray or large plate. Dollop most of the cream (leaving about a third behind) equally across the four slices of bread.
  6. Spread it out evenly over the bread.
  7. Arrange the fruit diagonally across the middle of breads (such that you when you slice the sandwich in half, you slice right through the middle of the fruits)
  8. Using the remaining third of the cream spread it on top of the fruit to fill in the gaps and cracks.
  9. Take the other slices of bread and top to create the two sandwiches, pressing very gently.
  10. Tear out a sheet of cling wrap and lay it on your counter.
  11. Place one of the sandwiches at the centre, then wrap it up tightly.
  12. Using a marker, mark on the cling wrap the line where you’ll be slicing your sandwich later. Repeat with the other sandwich.
  13. Place the sandwiches back on the tray or plate, then take another tray or plate to place on top to weigh it down slightly.
  14. Refrigerate for at least an hour – this will help the sandwich meld together and hold its shape when slicing.
  15. Once you’re ready to serve, unwrap your sandwich.
  16. Trim the edges of your sandwich. Then slice the sandwich on the diagonal.
