1. Gather all ingredients and use a small knife to remove the core of 12 strawberries. Use the knife to cut off both ends of two kiwis and peel the skin
2. Use a knife to cut off both ends of 1 navel orange. Peel the orange by hand and separate the orange segments.
3. Set the prepared fruit on a tray or plate. Using a paper towel, pat the fruit dry to remove any excess moisture.
4. Prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl about half full with iced water. Then, set a medium bowl on top of the iced water in the larger bowl. Next, add 1 cup heavy (whipping) cream to the medium bowl and whisk
5. Once bubbly, add 5 tsp sugar and and whisk fast. Remove the bowl from ice bath when it shows peaks. Whisk until you achieve the right consistency and check as you go. The cream should be spreadable but not runny because it goes between the sandwich bread.
6. Line up 4 slices shokupan (Japanese milk bread) on your work surface. Next, add a dollop of whipped cream to each bread slice and spread it evenly.
7. Add the fruit next, placing it on only one slice of bread per sandwich. Think carefully how you want the cross section to look when you cut your sando in half, and align some of the fruit attractively along the cut line.
8. Add more whipped cream to fill in any gaps between the fruit.
9. For each sandwich, put the top slice of sandwich bread on the fruit with the whipped cream side down. Wrap each sandwich tightly on all four sides. Remember, don’t change the orientation of the sandwiches as you wrap them.
10. With a marker pen, draw a line on the plastic wrap of each sandwich to mark your cut line with the attractive cross section.
11. Remove the sandwiches from the refrigerator. Unwrap one sandwich and slice it in half along the marked cut line with a clean knife. Gently hold down each sandwich and cut off the crusts
12. Serve the sandwiches immediately and enjoy!
