Ingredients

2 thick slices milk bread or thick-cut white bread
5 large strawberries washed, patted dry, leafy tops removed
1 tablespoon white granulated sugar
½ cup whipping cream chilled

Instructions

In a large bowl, add the chilled whipping cream and granulated sugar. Whisk until stiff peaks form and the cream holds its shape when you tilt the bowl. Do not overwhip, or the cream can separate and eventually turn into butter. If using a hand mixer or stand mixer, start on low speed and gradually increase to medium-high. Refrigerate while preparing the remaining ingredients.
Trim the crusts from the bread using a sharp or serrated knife.
Lay a large sheet of plastic wrap on a cutting board and place one slice of bread on top. Spread a thin, even layer of whipped cream over the bread. Arrange 5 strawberries in an X pattern, with their pointed ends facing the same direction, as shown in the photo. Note their orientation so you can mark the slicing direction on the plastic wrap later.
Cover the strawberries with more whipped cream, filling all gaps around them. Place the second slice of bread on top and spread additional cream along the sides and corners to seal the sandwich.
Wrap the sandwich tightly in plastic wrap. Mark a diagonal line on the wrap following the direction of the strawberries so you know where to slice later.
Refrigerate at the back of the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or freeze for 15-30 minutes to firm up the cream and make slicing easier.
Unwrap the sandwich and slice along the marked diagonal using a large, sharp knife or serrated knife for clean slices. Serve immediately.
