Description
Delicate layers of fluffy cream and fresh strawberries make these Strawberry Cream Sandwiches a delightful treat for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 Strawberries
- 1 pint Heavy Whipping Cream
- 8 oz. Cream Cheese (softened to room temp)
- 1/4 cup Powdered Sugar (or more to taste)
- 1/4 tsp Vanilla
- 1 tbsp Lemon Zest
- 8-10 slices White Bread
Instructions
- Wash, hull, and thoroughly dry the strawberries.
- Whip the cream cheese on high until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes).
- Add the heavy cream, vanilla, and sugar and continue whipping on high until the whipped cream is set stiff, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Add lemon zest and stir to combine.
- Spread a layer of cream mixture on each piece of bread.
- Arrange the strawberries on half of the bread slices, making sure to align the center berries in a way that is visually appealing when cut.
- Add more strawberries to fill in the sides.
- Add more cream mixture on top.
- Add a slice of bread on top and gently press it together.
- Score a line in the diagonal direction that you arranged the center fruit with your knife.
- Wrap each sandwich tightly in plastic wrap, then place them on a tray and add something slightly heavy on top to help compress all of the cream into the nooks and crannies.
- Refrigerate for 120 minutes to set.
- Once chilled and set, remove the plastic wrap.
- With a sharp serrated knife, start cutting off the edges first, cleaning the knife between each cut and removing the cut crusts out of the way.
- Finally, make your diagonal cut along your scored line.
Notes
Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor; these sandwiches are best served cold.
