Ingredients- 2 slices of bread (whole wheat or brioche can also be used for variety)
- 1 fresh fig (choose one that is firm with vibrant color)
- Approx. 150-200ml cold heavy whipping cream (animal-based cream recommended)
- 1 tablespoon cream cheese (softened at room temperature)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, carefully trim the crusts off the bread slices using a knife. This step ensures your sandwich has a neat appearance and is easier to handle.
Step 2
Gently peel the fresh fig, rinse it under cool water, and then slice it in half. This prepares the fig to release its sweet aroma and flavor.
Step 3
On one slice of bread, spread the softened cream cheese thinly. This acts as a moisture barrier, preventing the bread from becoming soggy. Next, generously pipe or spoon the cold whipped cream onto the cream cheese-covered bread and spread it evenly with a spatula, leaving a small border to prevent overflow.
Step 4
Arrange the fig halves attractively on top of the fresh cream. Placing them cut-side up will showcase their beautiful color and texture.
Step 5
Add another generous layer of fresh cream over the figs, ensuring they are completely covered. Finally, place the second slice of bread on top to complete the sandwich. Press down gently.
Step 6
To ensure clean cuts, wrap the sandwich tightly in plastic wrap. Then, place it in the freezer for about 20-30 minutes. This chilling period will firm up the cream, making it much easier to slice.
Step 7
Once slightly firm, remove the sandwich from the freezer and unwrap it. Using a sharp serrated knife, carefully cut the sandwich into your desired serving sizes. You’ll notice a beautiful, clean cross-section thanks to the chilled cream.
Step 8
Congratulations! Your incredibly simple yet delicious Fig and Fresh Cream Sandwich is ready to enjoy. It’s a perfect pairing with your favorite coffee or tea for a truly delightful moment.
