3small orangespeeled

Instructions
Gather the fruits. Wash and pat the fruit with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Trim, peel, pit, and cut as required. (Oranges; Peel the skin, Kiwifruit; Peel the skin and slice, Red grapes and grape tomatoes; Leave as-is)
Make Whipped Cream
In a clean large chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream and sugar on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form but also be careful not to overwhip.
Design 1
Spread some whipped cream evenly on each side.
Only on one slice, arrange the orange and kiwi slices on top of the cream as shown in the photo.
Make sure to place the fruit along the intended diagonal cut line because that’s what will be shown when the sandwich is cut in half.
Fill in the gaps with more kiwis and with whipped cream and make sure the tops of the fruits are also covered with the whipped cream.
Cover with the second slice of bread, facing the whipped cream side down.
Wrap the sandwich tightly but gently in plastic wrap.
Use a marker to draw a line on the plastic wrap where the intended cut will be so you know where to cut it later.
Chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour or so to firm up the cream before slicing.
When ready to serve, with a very sharp knife slice the crusts off if preferred.
Then slice where you previously marked on the plastic wrap.
If cutting through the plastic is difficult, make a note of the marker line and remove the plastic wrap.
make sure to clean the blade with a wet towel before each cut.
