Fruit & Cheesecake Spread Sandwich
Introduction: Fruit & Cheesecake Spread Sandwich
This sweet and refreshing sandwich will satisfy your sweet tooth without leaving you feeling like you ate a dense dessert. I love desserts and figured if there are dessert pizzas, there should be a dessert sandwich. I was inspired by Japanese desserts because they're sugary but light, so I went to the Japanese Market to get some Japanese bread. It's sweet and fluffier than typical bread which was perfect for this sandwich. The delicious cheesecake spread complements the fruit and only requires 4 ingredients. For this recipe, I put strawberries and raspberries on my sandwich, but you can use any of your favorite fruits.
Supplies
To make this sandwich, you will need:
2 slices of bread (I used Japanese bread)
Fruit(s) of choice
1/4 cup butter, softened
4oz. 763
cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1tsp. vanilla extract
You will also need:
1 medium sized bowl
Hand mixer or spatula
Measuring spoon
Measuring cup
Knife to cut fruit and spread cream cheese mixture
Step 1: Beat Cream Cheese & Butter
Begin by combining the cream cheese and butter with a hand mixer or spatula on low speed. Make sure cream cheese and butter are softened so the mixture is smooth.
Step 2: Add in Powdered Sugar & Vanilla
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture and mix until fully combined. If there is extra cheesecake spread, you can use it as a yummy dip for fruit or crackers.
Step 3: Preparing Fruit
Wash and cut your fruit so it is ready to go onto the bread. I used strawberries and raspberries, but any fruits would work. Make sure that when slicing your fruit it is able to lay flat on the bread.
Step 4: Making the Sandwich
Arrange your sliced fruit onto one piece of bread and put the cheesecake spread on the other. Place this piece of bread onto the fruit.
Step 5: Finishing the Sandwich
Finally, you can cut your sandwich in half and enjoy your dessert sandwich! This simple treat is easy to make but tastes delicious. 851
