CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY FRENCH TOAST WITH HOMEMADE WHIPPED CREAM RECIPE

Ingredients:

• – 1 cup raspberries
• – 3 tsp sugar
• – 1 ½ cups cold heavy cream
• – 4 eggs
• – a dash of salt
• – 1 inch slices Chocolate Babka bread

Directions:

Sprinkle 2 tsp sugar over raspberries in a bowl, let stand until juices are released about 30 minutes. Mash gently with a fork until saucy and chunky. Beat cream until stiff peaks form. Fold raspberry mixture into whipped cream, leaving it slightly swirled.

Break eggs into a wide, shallow bowl. Beat lightly with a fork. Stir in 1tsp sugar, salt, and milk over medium low heat, heat griddle or skillet coated with a thin layer of butter.

Cut Chocolate Babka into ½ inch thick slices. Place the bread slices one at a time into the bowl, letting slices soak up egg mixture for few seconds, and then carefully turn to coat the other side. Transfer bread slices to griddle or skillet, heating slowly until bottom is golden brown, turn and brown the other side. Serve with raspberry whip cream on top.
