Recipe Notes

  • Other fruit options: For best results, use fresh fruit that's in season and firm enough to hold its shape. Mangos, oranges, kiwis, blueberries, or peaches make great alternatives. Mix and match to your liking!
  • Make ahead - Fruit sandos can be made ahead up to two days in advance. Any longer and the bread may get soggy. Store in the fridge covered in plastic wrap until ready to serve.

Tips

  • Don't over whip the cream - it will get grainy.
  • Use vibrant, colorful fruit that's firm enough to use in a sandwich. Soft or overly ripe fruit will make the sandwich soggy.
  • Keep presentation in mind when arranging the fruit so that when sliced in half or quarters, it's aesthetically pleasing.
