Ingredients
Scale
Bread and Filling
- 6 thick slices Brioche Bread
- 1 cup Fresh Blackberries
- 3/4 cup Plant-Based Cream
- 1 tsp Natural Gelling Agent
Custard Batter
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 cup Plant-Based Milk
- 1 tsp Cinnamon (natural flavoring)
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract (natural)
For Cooking and Serving
- 2 tbsp Butter (plant-based)
- Maple Syrup (natural) for drizzling
- Additional fresh blackberries for garnish
- Powdered Plant-Based Sugar for optional dusting
Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Filling: In a bowl, gently fold plant-based cream with the natural gelling agent to thicken slightly. Add vanilla extract (natural) for sweetness and set aside to chill while preparing other ingredients.
- Slice and Stuff the Bread: Cut the brioche slices thick enough to create a pocket by slicing horizontally without cutting all the way through. Stuff each slice with the thickened cream and fresh blackberries, pressing lightly to secure inside.
- Make the Custard Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, plant-based milk, cinnamon (natural flavoring), and a splash of vanilla extract (natural) until fully combined and smooth.
- Soak the Stuffed Bread: Dip each stuffed slice into the custard batter, soaking about 20 seconds on each side so the bread absorbs enough liquid without becoming soggy.
- Cook to Golden Perfection: Heat a pan over medium heat and melt plant-based butter. Cook each soaked slice for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly crispy.
- Serve Warm with Toppings: Plate the French toast immediately, drizzle with natural maple syrup, and garnish with extra fresh blackberries or a sprinkle of powdered plant-based sugar if desired.
Notes
- Use day-old brioche for better custard absorption and structure.
- Do not over-soak the bread; 20 seconds per side is ideal to avoid sogginess.
- Cook on medium heat to ensure toast cooks through without burning.
- Natural gelling agent helps the cream filling maintain consistency during cooking.
- Choose ripe fresh blackberries for maximum sweetness and juiciness.
