Japanese Fruit Sandwiches (Furutsu Sando)

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Japanese Fruit Sandwiches (Furutsu Sando).

1. Step 1

   To create a delightful fruit-filled sandwich, start by whipping up a luscious cream.

2. Step 2

   In a mixing bowl, combine heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and a splash of vanilla extract.

3. Step 3

   Grab your electric mixer and beat the mixture on medium speed until it transforms into fluffy, stiff peaks—this should take about 3 to 5 minutes.

4. Step 4

   Now, take two slices of soft Japanese milk bread and generously spread that heavenly whipped cream on one side of each slice.

5. Step 5

   Next, it’s time to get creative with your fruit! Arrange your colorful fruit pieces in a diagonal line on the whipped cream side of one slice, starting from one corner and moving to the opposite corner.

6. Step 6

   Don’t worry about perfection; just fill in any gaps with the remaining fruit, trimming pieces as needed to fit.

7. Step 7

   Once your fruit masterpiece is complete, gently place the second slice of bread on top, cream-side down, to form a delightful sandwich.

8. Step 8

   Repeat this process with the other two slices of bread and the remaining fruit, creating more delicious layers.

9. Step 9

   To let those flavors mingle and deepen, wrap each sandwich snugly in plastic wrap and pop them in the refrigerator for at least an hour, or up to 24 hours if you want to plan ahead.

    When you’re ready to indulge, unwrap the sandwiches and use a serrated knife to carefully cut each one in half diagonally, slicing right through that beautiful row of fruit.
