Yet again, Japan has surprised us with their creative ingenuity by transforming a humble snack into a beautiful fruit flower sandwich.
With a few simple steps, you’ll be able to create your very own IG-worthy sandwich, using only fruits and slices of bread (and of course, your infinite creativity!)
You’ll need:
- Bread – 12 slices (you may opt to use Hokkaido Milk Bread to make it extra delicious. You can get it here)
- Fresh cream – 200ml
- Mascarpone cheese – 200g
- Granulated sugar – 30g
- Fruit: Strawberries, mandarins, green kiwi fruit, yellow kiwi fruit, mango, seedless green grapes, seedless red grapes, bananas
Preparation:
- Add fresh cream and granulated sugar to a bowl and whisk for 6 minutes. Then add mascarpone cheese and mix for 7 minutes.
- Cut the fruits as such:
- Mandarins — Peel the skin and leave as-is
- Yellow kiwi fruit — Slice, apply cream on top and roll into a roll
- Bananas — Cut into a flower shape
- Strawberries — Cut into a tulip shape
