Ingredients

- 8 slices of bread
- 200ml heavy cream
- 2 Tbsp sugar
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Hello there! Today, we’re going to make a visually appealing and incredibly delicious cream cheese pineapple sandwich. While you can use strawberries or other fruits, we’re making it extra special today with the delightful tang of pineapple. This recipe is a family favorite, loved by all ages, so be sure to give it a try!
Step 2
First, let’s prepare the star of our sandwich: the sweet whipped cream. Pour 200ml of cold heavy cream into a bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of sugar. You can adjust the amount of sugar to your preference.
Step 3
If you have a hand mixer, whipping the cream will be much faster and easier. However, a whisk will also work perfectly fine. I didn’t get a mixer myself, as I don’t use it very often. Continue whipping the cream until it forms stiff peaks. Be careful not to over-whip, or it might turn into butter!
Step 4
Now, it’s time to assemble the sandwich. Neatly trim off the crusts from all 8 slices of bread. Removing the crusts will result in a softer and more enjoyable sandwich. Spread the prepared whipped cream evenly onto one side of each slice of bread. Applying a generous layer is the secret to a more delicious sandwich.
Step 5
Next, arrange the diced pineapple pieces over the cream-covered bread slices. It’s a good idea to lightly drain any excess moisture from the pineapple. Generously spread more whipped cream over the pineapple and around the edges. Finally, place another slice of bread on top to complete the sandwich.
Step 6
To keep the sandwich from falling apart, wrap it tightly with plastic wrap. If you cut it immediately, the cream might ooze out. To prevent this, chill the sandwich in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes. This chilling step allows the cream to firm up, ensuring the sandwich holds its shape beautifully when sliced.
Step 7
After 20 minutes, take the sandwich out of the refrigerator and remove the plastic wrap. The whipped cream should be nicely set, making it perfect for slicing. Cut the sandwich into your desired shapes. Halving or quartering them makes them easy to handle. For a cleaner cut, you can lightly dampen your knife with water.
Step 8
And there you have it – your delicious and refreshing cream cheese pineapple sandwich is ready! The combination of fresh fruit and smooth cream will bring a burst of happiness to your palate. Perfect for a special occasion, a lazy afternoon, or whenever you crave a delightful treat, be sure to make this recipe!
