STRAWBERRY AND MATCHA CREAM SANDO

Famous in Japan, fruit and cream sandwiches (AKA sandos) are one of our favourite treats ever. It's breakfast, desert, a sandwich, and one of your five a day - all in one! 
Traditionally made with fluffy Japanese milk bread, whipped sweetened cream, and fresh fruit, we've also added matcha, and the flavour combination is just unreal. 
INGREDIENTS:
  • 3 Tsp Jenki Matcha
  • 300ml Double Cream
  • 3 Tbsp Caster Sugar
  • 1 Tsp Vanilla Paste
  • 4 Slices of Japanese Milk Bread
  • 10-12 Large Strawberries
  • Cling Film for wrapping
DIRECTIONS:
  1. Whisk together the double cream, sifted matcha powder, vanilla and caster sugar until the mixture thickens
  2. Cut a few of the strawberries up, leaving at least 6-8 whole to run down the middle of the sandwich 
  3. Get two slices of milk bread and add a layer of the matcha cream to each
  4. Arrange 3-4 strawberries diagonally down the slice and fill the rest of the slice with the remaining whole and chopped strawberries in the gaps either side
  5. Spread on more of the matcha cream to fill in the gaps between the strawberries and then place your other slice onto
  6. Wrap this tightly in clingfilm and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes
  7. Once refrigerated, unwrap the sandwich, cut off the crusts and slice diagonally to reveal the beautiful line of strawberries! 
  8. Bite into your fruity sandwiches & enjoy!
