Double Chocolate Cherry Cheesecake French Toast

Double Chocolate Cherry Cheesecake French Toast is over-the-top indulgence in the best way. Thick slices of bread are stuffed with a rich cheesecake filling, layered with chocolate and cherries, then cooked until golden and decadent. It’s a show-stopping breakfast or brunch that feels like dessert—perfect for special mornings or when going all out is the goal.

Ingredients

Chocolate French Toasts:

• ▢3 large eggs
• ▢1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
• ▢2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder I use Hershey’s
• ▢1 tablespoon sugar of choice or natural granulated sweetener
• ▢6 slices thick bread I use sourdough

Chocolate Cherry Cheesecake

• ▢6 tablespoons low fat/fat free cream cheese
• ▢2 tablespoons low fat greek yoghurt vanilla or plain
• ▢1 tablespoon cocoa powder
• ▢1 tablespoon natural sweetener or sugar of choice
• ▢14.5 oz canned pitted cherries in natural juice/syrup sub with fresh cherries if you wish

Chocolate Maple Syrup

• ▢1/2 cup Maple Syrup
• ▢1 tablespoon cocoa powder

Instructions 

French Toasts:

• Whisk eggs, milk, cocoa powder and sweetener/sugar until combined well and free from lumps. Add bread (one at a time) and thoroughly soak through. Spray a good quality nonstick pan or skillet with cooking oil spray, and fry bread on low – medium heat until cooked on both sides (about 4-5 minutes each side). Repeat with remaining slices.
• While toasts are frying, prepare Chocolate Cherry Cheesecake and Chocolate Maple Syrup…

Chocolate Cherry Cheesecake:

• In a medium-sized bowl, add the cream cheese, yoghurt, cocoa powder and sweetener/sugar, and mix until smooth. Fold the cherries through and mix again.

Chocolate Maple Syrup:

• Combine maple syrup and cocoa powder in a jug, and whisk really well until combined.

Now Stack!

• Stack french toasts with cheesecake filling and top with syrup.

Notes

I used thick, chunky sourdough bread for these toasts, which allowed for 6 slices for the quantity of chocolate egg wash (and 3 serves) BUT if using thinner normal sandwich bread slices, the egg wash could easily allow for 8 slices and serve 4.
