- Slice the fried bread diagonally into two triangles. Then slit a pocket out of each triangle.
- Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each bread pocket generously with whipped cream. Serve immediately.
Notes
If you don't have Shokupan, you can substitute it with brioche or white sandwich bread. However, brioche is richer and denser to taste, and white sandwich bread could turn out greasy.
Icing sugar helps to stabilise the whipped cream. If you don't have icing sugar on hand, you can use regular white granulated sugar.
Want to jazz up your fried cream sando? Try topping it with some sliced strawberries, dusting it with some cocoa powder or matcha powder, or even make a creme brulee topping by adding a layer of custard on top and sprinkling sugar for torching.
