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.

Recipe information

  • YieldMakes 8

Ingredients

2½ tsp. baking powder

2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting

1 tsp. kosher salt, plus more

2 large egg yolks

1 cup whole-milk Greek yogurt

½ cup granulated sugar

2 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted, slightly cooled

1 tsp. vanilla extract

Vegetable oil (for frying; 6–8 cups)

Zest of ¼ lemon

1 cup powdered sugar

Special Equipment: A deep-fry thermometer

Preparation

Step 1

Whisk baking powder, 2 cups flour, and 1 tsp. salt in a medium bowl to combine. Whisk egg yolks, yogurt, granulated sugar, butter, and vanilla in a large bowl until smooth. Add dry ingredients to egg mixture with a spoon or rubber spatula until dough comes together and is smooth with no spots of dry flour remaining.

Step 2

Turn out dough onto a well-floured large sheet of parchment or wax paper (you can be generous with the flour since you’ll brush off the excess later). Dust dough with more flour, place another large sheet of parchment or waxed paper over, and roll to ½” thick. Remove top sheet of parchment and brush off any excess flour with a dry pastry brush.

Step 3

Punch out circles with a 3½”-diameter biscuit or cookie cutter, glass, or mug. Punch out centers of rounds with a 1″-diamter cutter or plastic twist-off bottle cap (or poke a hole with a chopstick, then gently pull hole open to widen the center). Reroll any scraps and punch out additional doughnuts and holes.

Step 4

Fit a large pot with thermometer; pour in oil to come 1½” up the sides of the pot. Heat over medium-high until thermometer registers 350°F. Fry doughnuts, turning halfway through, until puffy and a color somewhere between golden brown and mahogany, about 4 minutes total (time will be slightly less for doughnut holes). Using a spider or slotted spoon, transfer to a wire rack and let cool 10 minutes.

Step 5

Meanwhile, whisk lemon zest, powdered sugar, a tiny pinch of salt, and ¼ cup water in a small bowl until a smooth glaze forms.

Step 6

Dip each side of doughnuts and holes into glaze, letting excess run off before returning to rack. Eat as soon as you can’t stand the suspense anymore.
