Equipment

Bowl
Electric hand mixer or whisk
Serrated Knife
Spatula or butter knife
Plastic Wrap
Measuring Cups

Ingredients

10 fresh strawberries hulled
4 slices soft white bread milk bread, brioche, or sandwich bread
1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1/16 tsp salt
2 tbsp powdered sugar
1 cup very cold heavy cream

Instructions

Prepare the strawberries by removing the green tops. Trim the crusts off the bread and cut into squares.
In a bowl, beat mascarpone, vanilla, salt, and powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy.
Add the cold heavy cream and whip until stiff peaks form, being careful not to overmix.
Spread a thick, even layer of cream on each slice of bread, covering all edges.
Arrange strawberries diagonally on two slices, filling corners with smaller or halved berries.
Fill any gaps with cream, then cover strawberries completely with more whipped cream.
Top with remaining bread slices, press gently, and spread extra cream around the sides to smooth.
Mark the cutting direction, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, refrigerate for 1–2 hours, then slice diagonally and serve.

Notes

Use the sweetest, ripest strawberries for the best flavor and presentation.
Do not overwhip the cream or it may become grainy and separate.
