Hot Chocolate French Toast! This mashup is as simple and satisfying as it sounds. And it all starts with any bread loaf or baguette you can get your hands on. But here’s a little hint: French toast is best with stale bread. I repeat stale bread. And when that custard involves cocoa powder, you’re going to want to ensure your chocolate French toast gets a proper bath to take in all of that rich flavor.

Ingredients

Mini marshmallows, for serving
Whipped cream, for serving
Maple syrup or chocolate sauce, for serving
Unsalted butter, for cooking
8 slices French or brioche bread
4 large eggs
2 tbsp. sugar
1 tbsp. vanilla extract
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream

Method

01

In a shallow dish or bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, milk, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, sugar and eggs.
02

Place a large saute pan over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Once the butter has melted, dip each slice of bread in the chocolate milk mixture, allowing it to soak up the liquid on both sides then shaking off any excess.
03

Add the toast to the pan and cook until golden, about 2 minutes. Flip the bread once and cook it an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Repeat the cooking process, adding more butter as needed, with the remaining slices of toast.
04

Serve the French toast topped with maple syrup or chocolate sauce, whipped cream and mini marshmallows.
