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. 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.
