Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 chocolate pound cake
1 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup white chocolate chips
1 pint strawberries, washed, tops removed
2 tablespoons sugar
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup chocolate milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 eggs
1/4 cup chocolate chips or shaved chocolate
4 sprigs fresh mint, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Fit a baking sheet with a wire rack.
  • Slice the pound cake into 8 slices. Place the prepared baking sheet. Toast in the oven for 12 minutes.
  • In a small pot, heat 1/4 cup heavy cream over low heat. When hot, whisk in the white chocolate chips until melted and fully incorporated into the cream. Remove from the heat and chill in the fridge until cool but still a pourable consistency, about 30 minutes.
  • In a blender, combine three-quarters of the strawberries with the sugar. Reserve the remaining strawberries for garnish. Blend until smooth. Strain the puree through a strainer into a bowl. Cover and place in the fridge until ready to serve. Strawberry sauce can be made the day before and keep in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
  • In a large chilled bowl, combined the remaining 3/4 cup heavy cream and the cooled white chocolate cream mixture. Whip with a hand mixer until medium peaks form. Cover and place in the fridge while you make the French toast.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
  • In a baking dish. whisk together the chocolate milk, vanilla, cinnamon and eggs until well blended. Place 4 pieces of the pound cake into the egg mixture and let soak for 15 seconds. Flip and soak the other side for 15 seconds. Remove the cake from the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, and place in the heated skillet with the butter. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a platter. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet and repeat with the remaining 4 pound cake slices.
  • To assemble: Place a small pool of the strawberry sauce onto 4 plates, 2 to 3 tablespoons per plate. Place 2 pieces of French toast onto each plate. Top each with a large dollop of the white chocolate whipped cream, sprinkle with the some chocolate chips and garnish with a fresh strawberry and mint sprig.

Taken from "Foothill House Bed and Breakfast" in Calistoga, CA There's another recipe here with the same name on here. this one is a bit of a variant in the fact that you need to store it overnight before baking. i think this makes all the ingredients time to soak up. this recipe makes 8 Servings

Time P1DT50m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 -5 medium croissants (baked, I used 6 large ones from Costco)
8 ounces cream cheese, softened or 8 ounces neufchatel cheese
4 ounces butter, softened
3/4 cup maple syrup, divided
10 eggs
3 cups half-and-half
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
powdered sugar
chopped pecans
4 ounces butter
1/2 cup maple syrup

Steps:

  • Coarsely chop croissants; distribute evenly in greased 13X9 inch casserole dish.
  • Combine cream cheese, butter, and 1/3 cup maple syrup; spread evenly over chopped croissants.
  • In large bowl, beat eggs, ½ cup maple syrup, and half-and-half; pour over mixture.
  • Sprinkle with cinnamon.
  • Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • In the morning, remove from refrigerator. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Uncover and bake 45 to 50 minutes or until golden. (It will be very light and puffy; let it sit for 5-10 minutes while you make the sauce; once it settles down a little, you will be able to pour the sauce and put nuts on it more easily.).
  • In small saucepan, heat ½ cup butter and ½ cup maple syrup and pour over warm soufflé.
  • Sprinkle with powdered sugar and chopped pecans.

DECADENT FRENCH TOAST

This is the best french toast I have ever eaten. You make it at night before going to bed, the next morning; pop it in the oven.

Time 45m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup dark brown sugar
French bread
5 tablespoons butter
5 eggs
2 tablespoons dark corn syrup
1/2 cup milk
chopped pecans
cinnamon

Steps:

  • Spray a 13x9 baking dish liberally with cooking spray.
  • Mix brown sugar, butter, & corn syrup (add a touch of cinnamon) in a saucepan and cook until bubbly. Pour into baking dish. Sprinkle with chopped pecans.
  • Slice French bread, layer in pan.
  • Mix well in a bowl; eggs, milk and cinnamon. Pour over bread. Make sure to get some of the milk mixture on each slice.
  • Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • Bake at 325 degrees for 30 � 45 minutes. Invert on to serving platter or another baking dish. Enjoy!
  • ***I add cinnamon to taste. I use between a teaspoon & a tablespoon for the whole recipe. I don�t measure, just shake. I also cut French bread slices in half and put cut side down. You can also serve this with whipped cream & strawberries. I prefer warm syrup. I like to invert onto something I can put into the oven to help everything to �set-up� better & keep it warm so I can get everything else done.
