Ingredients
- 2 loaves plain white bread / I used Japanese Shokupan to be fancy, you can also use brioche
- 3 tbsp condensed milk mixed with 4 tbsp water (for soaking)
- 150g Jam
- 100g Strawberries
- 100g lemon curd
- 600ml double cream (for the filling)
Italian Meringue Buttercream Frosting Ingredients
- 4 egg whites large, room temperature
- 250g white sugar
- 400g softened butter
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 75ml water
Step 1 : Frosting
In a stand mixer, whisk the egg whites and 50g of sugar until soft peaks form.
Step 2
In a saucepan, combine the remaining sugar with water and heat until it reaches 110°C.
Step 3
Whisk the egg whites on a very low speed and slowly drizzle in the hot sugar along the side of the bowl. Continue whisking for an additional 5 minutes, or until the bowl feels cool to the touch.
Step 4
Increase the mixer speed to medium and add the softened butter, beating until the mixture turns into a thick, creamy frosting. Zest the lemon and stir it in thoroughly.
