You can make these with a combination of fruits or go monochrome—we love the simplicity of an all-strawberry sandwich as much as a mixed-fruit one. Using thick slices of Japanese milk bread, however, is a must. Its soft, fluffy interior soaks up the cream and fruit juices, but it won’t turn to mush. There aren’t many mass-produced milk breads out there, but you can find it at Asian markets as well as grocery stores that stock a good selection of Asian ingredients (or make your own!).
