Ingredient Notes

• Very Thin white bread: Pepperidge Farm’s Very Thin white bread is used but you can use any white bread that’s on the thinner side. If the bread is too thick, the ratio of bread and filling will be off.
• Freeze-dried strawberry powder: If you don’t have strawberry powder, you can use freeze-dried strawberries and crush them in a ziplock bag using a rolling pin or heavy bottle. Feel free to use any red-colored powder, like raspberry if you prefer them over strawberry.
• Cream cheese: This and the strawberry powder creates strawberry flavored cream cheese.
• Sugar: White granulated sugar works best since it’ll mix easily into the cream cheese.
• Lemon juice: This adds fresh lemon flavor and helps to thin out the thick cream cheese so it’s spreadable.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 5: Assemble the sandwich. Place bread with strawberry filling on top of another strawberry filled bread. Place bread without strawberry filling on top.

Recipe Notes

Cut out each bread layer with strawberries separately.

Once the bread has be spread with the strawberry cream cheese, it may be tempting to stack the bread, then cut it with the cookie cutter, but the results won’t be as pretty.

Try different freeze-dried fruit powders.

The fruit powder is what gives the tea sandwiches its color and flavor. If you want to switch it up, go for raspberry, peach, or pomegranate powder.

Make them ahead of time.

These tea sandwiches are great for making ahead of time since the strawberry spread won’t get the bread soggy.

Make the sandwiches and store them overnight in the refrigerator. Loosely cover the sandwiches with wax paper and a damp paper towel in an airtight container. Don’t let the damp paper towel touch the sandwiches. The damp paper towel will help prevent the bread from drying out.

Expert Tips

• Use softened cream cheese to make it easier to mix and spread onto the bread.
• Tea sandwiches are meant to be eaten in 2 bites, so don’t make them too big if they’re to be served at tea time.
• Black tea is traditionally what’s served with tea sandwiches. English Breakfast tea and Earl Grey are both great black tea options.
• Freeze bread to get the cleanest cuts with the cookie cutter.
• You can use cookie cutters in other shapes, but it’s best to go with a simple shape.
