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.

Yields:1 serving(s)

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 fresh cherry
  • 2 oz. bourbon
  • 1/2 oz. cherry syrup
  • 1/4 oz. clear chocolate liqueur
  • 3 dashes of Angostura bitters
  • Ice

Directions

Step 1

In a small microwave-safe cup or bowl, microwave chocolate chips in 10-second increments, stirring between each, until melted and smooth, about 30 seconds total.

Step 2

Dip cherry into chocolate, letting excess drip off. Arrange on a parchment-lined plate and refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes. Reserve remaining chocolate for another use (or dip more cherries!).

Step 3

In a medium mixing glass or measuring cup, combine bourbon, syrup, liqueur, and bitters, then fill glass with ice. Stir until chilled, about 10 seconds.

Step 4

Strain into a rocks glass filled with a 2″ ice cube. Garnish with chocolate-covered cherry.

Notes:

Built on a bold bourbon base and layered with cherry syrup, chocolate liqueur, and bitters, the result is decadent yet beautifully balanced.

Serve it over ice in a classic rocks glass and finish with a chocolate-dipped cherry for a polished, boozy treat that proves the best gifts aren’t wrapped—they’re poured.
