Ingredients

Scale

Bread and Filling

  • 6 thick slices of brioche or challah bread
  • 1 cup plant-based cream
  • 1 tbsp natural gelling agent
  • 1 cup fresh blackberries

Custard Mixture

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (natural)
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup (natural)

For Cooking and Serving

  • 2 tbsp plant-based butter
  • Maple syrup (natural), for drizzling
  • Fresh blackberries, for garnish
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional), for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the plant-based cream with the natural gelling agent and whisk until smooth and slightly thickened. Add a little maple syrup (natural) and vanilla extract (natural) for sweetness and aroma.
  2. Stuff the Bread: Carefully slice the thick bread slices horizontally, creating pockets without cutting all the way through. Spoon the cream mixture inside each pocket and tuck generous amounts of fresh blackberries within the cream.
  3. Make the Custard Dip: In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, plant-based milk, cinnamon (natural), and a touch of maple syrup (natural) to form the custard base that will soak the bread.
  4. Soak the Stuffed Bread: Dip each stuffed bread slice gently in the custard mixture, allowing it to soak up plenty of flavor but not become too soggy.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt some plant-based butter. Cook the soaked stuffed bread slices for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and slightly crispy around the edges.
  6. Serve Immediately: Plate the French toast, drizzle with extra maple syrup (natural), and garnish with fresh blackberries or mint for a stunning finish.

Notes

  • Choose sturdy bread like brioche or challah to hold stuffing well without falling apart.
  • Don’t over-soak the bread; a quick dip in custard prevents sogginess while maintaining fluffiness inside.
  • Use ripe, fresh blackberries for the best natural sweetness and juiciness.
  • Cook on medium heat to ensure thorough cooking without burning the exterior.
  • Pre-thicken the plant-based cream with the natural gelling agent for a firmer stuffing.
