Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup butter, divided
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch kosher salt
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or 1/2 cup chopped chocolate
2 eggs
6 slices white bread, crusts removed and cut into triangles

Steps:

  • Special equipment: 9 by 5-inch baking dish.
  • In a small pot over low heat, add 1/4 cup cream, milk, sugar, 3 tablespoons butter, vanilla, and salt and bring to a simmer. Put the chocolate into a medium bowl and pour in the cream mixture. Let sit until the chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs and mix until well combined. Grease the baking dish with the remaining tablespoon of butter, and it line with the bread slices, overlapping slightly. Pour the chocolate mixture over the bread, making sure to cover the tips. Push the bread down with your fingers to coat the bread completely. Refrigerate, covered, for at least 2 hours. Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Bake until the custard sets and the bread turns golden at the edges, about 30 minutes.
  • Add the remaining cream to a chilled bowl and whisk until soft peaks form. Serve the French toast on individual plates with a dollop of cream.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my chocolate French toast turned out terrible. The bread was soggy and the chocolate sauce was grainy. I'm not sure if I'll try this recipe again.

The chocolate sauce was too runny. I think I should have let it simmer for longer.

The chocolate French toast was a bit dry. I think I should have used a different type of bread.

This recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar in the chocolate sauce next time.
