Method
- 1
Whip the cream with the icing sugar and vanilla until it holds stiff peaks. It must be firm so the sandwiches slice cleanly.
- 2
Trim the strawberries so they are the same height. Cut the kiwi into thick round slices.
- 3
Cut the crusts off all the bread slices.
- 4
Spread 4 slices thickly with cream. Lay the fruit in neat rows with the cut sides facing the way you plan to slice, leaving space between the pieces.
- 5
Spoon more cream over and between the fruit and level it. Spread the cream on the 4 remaining slices and place them cream side down on top.
- 6
Wrap each sandwich tightly in cling film and chill for at least 1 hour so it sets firm.
60 min - 7
Unwrap and cut each sandwich in half with a sharp knife, wiping it between cuts, to show the fruit.
