Banana and White Chocolate Japanese Fruit Sandwich

Food & Wine, April 2025

“Firm banana slices are enveloped in a velvety filling made with buttery white chocolate namelaka — a ganache-like spread whose name translates to “extra creamy” in Japanese (though it was invented at L’École Valrhona in Paris). With its light, mousse-like texture, the filling glides over slices of milk bread, a popular Asian bread prized for its signature texture that balances the softness of the sweet filling with a satisfying chew.”
