Ingredients

• 4 slices Thick slices of bread (brioche or challah preferred)
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 0.5 cups Whole milk
• 0.25 cups Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1.5 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0 optional Powdered sugar (for dusting)
• 0 optional Maple syrup or chocolate sauce (for serving)
• 0 optional Fresh fruits (e.g., strawberries, bananas) or whipped cream (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, and heavy cream until smooth.

Step 2

Add the granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt to the mixture. Whisk thoroughly to ensure there are no lumps of cocoa powder.

Step 3

Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.

Step 4

Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet, ensuring it coats the entire surface.

Step 5

Dip one slice of bread into the chocolate batter, letting it soak for about 10-15 seconds per side. Remove and allow excess batter to drip off.

Step 6

Place the soaked bread slice onto the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly crisp. Repeat with the remaining slices, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked French toast to a serving plate. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Step 8

Serve warm with maple syrup or chocolate sauce, and garnish with fresh fruits or whipped cream, if preferred.
