Weights are estimates. Together, the ingredients weigh about 510 g before cooking, which is about 125 g per serving.
Steps
In a large chilled bowl, combine the 250ml of cream, 12g of sifted icing sugar, 2ml of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Whisk the cream mixture until it reaches stiff peaks and is light and airy. Set aside in the refrigerator until ready to assemble.
Heat neutral oil in a deep pan or deep fryer to approximately 350°F (180 °C) (175°C (350 °F)).
Place the thick slices of milk bread into the hot oil and deep-fry until they are golden brown and super crispy on all sides.
Remove the fried bread from the oil and drain briefly on a wire rack or paper towels.
While the bread is still warm but manageable, cut a slit or pocket into the side of the bread slice to create a space for the filling.
Generously fill the pocket of the fried bread with the prepared whipped cream.
Garnish with a dusting of cocoa powder if desired and serve immediately while the bread is hot and the cream is cold.
Notes
This recipe is based on the viral Japanese 'Age-pan' or fried cream sandwiches popularized by the shop Age 3 in Tokyo. For the best results, use Japanese milk bread (Shokupan) for its characteristic fluffiness and sweetness.
