Strawberries and cream – this classic combination always evokes images of Wimbledon, summer afternoons, and iconic British desserts. But what if this beloved pairing were sandwiched between two slices of soft bread? At first, this idea might seem a bit unusual, but it’s not as far-fetched as it sounds.
In the UK, it may be a fresh and somewhat quirky concept, but in Japan, the “fruit sandwich” has long been a beloved local treat. Now, thanks to M&S’s launch of a limited-edition strawberries and cream sandwich, this Japanese-inspired fruit sando is quietly making its way to UK supermarket shelves. According to M&S, the sandwich became their top-selling item just two days after its release.
Now, let’s take a closer look at this trend!
In Japan, fruit sandwiches—specifically “furutsu sando” (fruit sandwich)—have long been a staple in cafes, bakeries, and convenience stores. These sandwiches typically feature soft, sweetened white bread filled with whipped cream and fresh fruits like strawberries, clementines, or even kiwi. The concept of a sandwich with fruit may have seemed odd to some when it first gained attention on platforms like TikTok, but the vibrant and Instagram-worthy sandwiches quickly became a viral sensation. Travelers flocked to Japan to try them, and now, the trend is crossing over to the UK, with M&S taking the plunge and offering their own take on this unique treat.
The strawberries and cream sandwich from M&S features fresh strawberries, whipped cream cheese, and sweetened bread—bringing together that perfect balance of creamy, fruity, and fluffy textures. It’s no wonder the sandwich has become so popular. But when it comes to making the perfect creamy filling for such a treat, the key ingredient is, of course, whipped cream.
To truly capture the light, fluffy texture that makes this sandwich so special, the key is using the right whipped cream. At Cream Deluxe, we offer premium Cream Deluxe Зарядни устройства за крем, which allow you to quickly and effortlessly create professional-grade whipped cream at home. Our chargers use 99.9％ nitrous oxide (N2O) to pressurize the cream, transforming it into a rich, airy topping that’s perfect for both desserts and savory creations alike. Whether you’re making a strawberries and cream sandwich or experimenting with other culinary delights, Cream Deluxe Cream Chargers provide the smooth and luxurious whipped cream you need to elevate any dish.
Want to recreate this viral treat in your own kitchen? Making a strawberries and cream sandwich is easier than you might think. With just a few simple ingredients and the right whipped cream, you can enjoy this delightful Japanese-inspired dessert sandwich any time.
Fresh strawberries: 6–8 (choose evenly sized, ripe berries for best presentation)
Cream cheese: 60g (mascarpone or low-sugar cream cheese works well)
Heavy cream (dairy-based): 100ml
Powdered sugar: 10–15g (adjust to taste)
Soft white sandwich bread: 4 slices (crusts removed for best results)
Cream Deluxe Зарядни устройства за крем – for quick and easy whipped cream preparation
Step 1: Prepare the Whipped Cream Filling
In a chilled mixing bowl, combine heavy cream and powdered sugar. Use your Cream Deluxe Cream Charger to whip the cream until soft peaks form and it’s light and fluffy.
If using cream cheese, soften it first, then gently fold it into the whipped cream until smooth and well combined.
Step 2: Prep the Strawberries
Wash and hull the strawberries, then pat them dry. Slice them in half or into thick slices, depending on size. Try to keep the slices uniform for a clean cut later.
Step 3: Assemble the Sandwich
Spread a generous layer of whipped cream mixture onto one slice of bread. Arrange strawberry slices neatly on top, then add a little more cream to help hold everything together. Cover with the second slice of bread and press gently.
Step 4: Chill to Set (Optional but recommended)
Wrap the sandwich tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 10–15 minutes. This helps the cream firm up and makes it easier to slice cleanly.
Step 5: Slice and Serve
Using a sharp knife (preferably slightly warm), slice the sandwich diagonally to reveal the vibrant cross-section of strawberries and cream. Serve with a cup of tea or coffee for the perfect afternoon treat.
Use firm, ripe strawberries for better shape and presentation.
For added flavor, mix a dash of vanilla extract or lemon zest into the cream.
Don’t stop at strawberries—try kiwi, mango, or mandarin oranges for your own custom fruit sando creations!
The strawberries and cream sandwich is just one example of how the humble sandwich is evolving. Traditionally, sandwiches have been associated with savory fillings, but in recent years, sweet versions have gained traction, especially with fruit-based fillings. In the UK, we’ve long enjoyed banana sandwiches, jam sandwiches, and even coronation chicken sandwiches, which often include dried fruits like sultanas or apricots. The line between sweet and savory in sandwiches is increasingly blurred, and the strawberries and cream sandwich is a perfect example of this trend.
But what exactly defines a sandwich? The Oxford English Dictionary says it’s two slices of bread, usually buttered, with a savory or other filling. Yet, the world of sandwiches is full of creative reinterpretations. From the fried plantain jibarito to Scandinavian open-faced smørrebrød, it’s clear that the sandwich has no limits when it comes to imagination. The sweet, fruit-filled sandwich is just the latest example of how global trends are influencing what we eat and how we enjoy our meals.
As the popularity of the strawberries and cream sandwich continues to grow, we can’t help but wonder—what’s next for the sandwich? Will we see more sweet sandwiches making their way into the mainstream? The evolution of the sandwich is ongoing, and its future is as wide open as the bread slices it’s made of. With the rise of global culinary influences and new technologies like whipped cream chargers, the possibilities for sandwich fillings are endless.
At Cream Deluxe, we’re proud to be part of this exciting food revolution. Whether you’re whipping up the perfect topping for a strawberries and cream sandwich or experimenting with new dessert combinations, our Cream Deluxe Зарядни устройства за крем are the perfect tool to help you create the lightest, fluffiest whipped cream every time.
