Serves: 2 sandwiches

Ingredients:

4 slices soft milk bread or white bread

1 ripe sweet mango, peeled and sliced

1 cup chilled whipping cream

2 tbsp powdered sugar

½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Method:

In a chilled bowl, whip the cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.

Trim the bread edges if desired for a cleaner look.

Spread a thick layer of whipped cream on one bread slice.

Arrange mango slices neatly in the center.

Cover the mangoes with more whipped cream, ensuring there are no gaps.

Place another bread slice on top and gently press.

Wrap the sandwich tightly in cling film.

Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Tips:
Use sweet, non-fibrous mangoes for the best texture.

Chill the sandwich before cutting for neat layers.

Mark the direction of the fruit arrangement before slicing to get a perfect cross-section.
