Simple recipe, made within 20 minutes
Ingredients You Will Need
Bread– You can use any type of bread but preferably white. Thick slices soak up the custard well and holds its shape upon toasting. If you have challah or brioche d use them as they make wonderful chocolate french toast. I have used my vegan white bread slices
Corn flour– corn flour is the base for our egg free custard sauce. You can also use custard powder if you have it. Here I have flavored the sauce with vanilla. You can also use cinnamon powder.
Milk– Milk mixed with corn flour is the substitute for eggs in this vegan chocolate french toast. You can use almond milk or soy milk or dairy milk too.
Chocolate– Instead of adding cocoa powder to the sauce or ganache, I have topped dark chocolate pieces on the toast and let it melt before serving. This makes a delicious pool of chocolate and makes the toast very rich. Make sure to use vegan chocolate. You can also simply add some chocolate spread before serving.
