🍓 Multigrain Ichigo Sando – Pantry-Friendly Version

Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for a Multigrain Strawberry & Cream Cheese Sandwich inspired by the Japanese Ichigo Sando (いちごサンド), but with a heartier twist thanks to multigrain bread!

Uh-oh! We're unable to calculate nutrition for this recipe because some ingredients aren't recognized.

Step 1

🥣 Make the Creamy Filling: 1. In a bowl, mix: 100g softened cream cheese 1 tbsp granulated sugar 1 tsp honey (optional but adds a nice mellow sweetness) 1 tbsp skimmed milk powder Pinch of salt (Optional) a drop of vanilla or lemon juice 2. Stir well until smooth and creamy. The milk powder adds a little richness and structure without needing liquid cream or milk. If it's a little gritty at first, let it sit for 5 minutes — the sugar will dissolve as it rests.

Step 2

🥪 Assemble the Sandwich: 1. Spread the cream cheese mixture onto each slice of multigrain bread. 2. Lay down your strawberries — arrange them nicely for a pretty cross-section. 3. Close the sandwich and press gently. 4. Optional: Wrap tightly in cling film and refrigerate for 20–30 minutes to help set. 5. Trim crusts (optional), then slice diagonally to show off the strawberries.

Step 3

--- ✅ Tips: If your granulated sugar is very coarse, you can grind it briefly with a mortar/pestle or the back of a spoon to speed up dissolving. No need to add milk or water — the strawberries will naturally moisten the filling as they sit.
