Equipment
- Baking Dish 3-Quart

Ingredients
- ½ Loaf Texas toast or thick-sliced bread
- 4 eggs
- ½ Cup heavy cream
- 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- ½ Tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 Teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 Tablespoon instant coffee powder

To Garnish
- ½ Cup strawberries fresh, sliced
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, add eggs, heavy cream, vanilla, sugar, brown sugar, nutmeg, and half of the coffee powder. Whisk well
- Cut bread slices in half diagonally to make triangles. Arrange bread in a 3-quart casserole dish.
- Pour egg mixture over the bread and let soak for at least 1 hour, or overnight. Cover and place into the fridge until ready to cook. Then, preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Place French toast into the oven on the center rack and bake for 45 minutes.
- While the french toast is baking, prepare the sweet cream spread. Add all ingredients into a medium mixing bowl or stand mixer and beat on high speed for 1 minute.
- Remove French toast from the oven. Add a scoop of the sweet cream over the center of the toast while it is still hot. Sprinkle the top with cocoa powder, remaining instant coffee, and powdered sugar.
- Garnish with strawberry slices.
Notes
Use day-old bread: It soaks up the custard better and holds its shape.
Chill overnight if possible: This deepens flavor and softens the bread perfectly.
Add topping just before serving: The sweet cream and garnish are best fresh.
