These are typically made with shokupan, a Japanese milk bread that can be hard to find stateside. Pillowy white sandwich bread works, too.

Ingredients

½ cup heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
4 slices Japanese milk bread, crusts removed
½ cup sliced strawberries
½ cup peeled sliced kiwi
½ cup mandarin orange segments
½ cup halved seedless grapes

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.

FRUIT AND CHEESE SANDWICH SPREAD

Fruit and Cheese Sandwich Spread image

Our family has enjoyed these sandwiches for many years since I first made them for a nephew's Christening Reception. The spread is equally good on any type of fruited bread. For guests, I usually trim the bread of crusts and cut each sandwich into three finger sandwiches.
