FRUIT SANDWICH RECIPES

Steps:

• Beat cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla together in a bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until stiff peaks form, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Spread 1 side of each bread slice with whipped cream. Arrange fruit pieces in a diagonal row on 2 of the bread slices, working from 1 corner to the opposite corner. Fill in the areas on both sides of the row with remaining fruit pieces, cutting to fit as necessary. Top with remaining bread slices, cream-sides down. Tightly wrap sandwiches in plastic wrap. Chill at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours.
• Remove plastic wrap. With a serrated knife, carefully cut sandwich in half diagonally, slicing through the diagonal fruit row.

Steps:

• Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat cream, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. (You need it to be on the firm side. If cream is underwhipped, it will be more difficult to slice the sandwiches.)
• Neatly remove crusts from bread with a serrated knife. Arrange bread on a clean work surface. Evenly spread ¼ cup whipped cream on each slice of bread with an offset spatula or butter knife. Place 1 kiwi round on top of whipped cream in the center of 4 bread slices. Arrange strawberry slices in corners of bread slices, orienting them so that the pointed end is tucked right into the corner. Place 4 peach strips in the gaps between kiwi and strawberries.
• Place a second slice of bread, cream side down, over to close sandwich. Smooth outside edges of whipped cream, adding a little if necessary to fill gaps. Wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap and chill at least 3 hours and up to 8.
• Using serrated knife, cut each sandwich into 4 triangles and serve.
