  • 3 small oranges peeled
  • 1 kiwifruit peeled & cut into slices
  • 2 red grapes
  • 2 grape tomatoes

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.
  • You will see the beautiful cross-section! Serve and enjoy!
