Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 large loaf challah or brioche bread, cut into thick slices
  • unsalted butter
  • vegetable oil
  • confectioners’ sugar
  • Fresh strawberries, sliced
  • Maple syrup, if desired

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, salt, and about half the milk until the mixture forms a lump-free paste. Add in the remaining milk, eggs, and vanilla and beat until well combined. Remove the mixture to a large baking dish and add the bread, turning to coat. Soak the bread for 5 minutes.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter and 1 tablespoon of the oil in a very large nonstick skillet pan or griddle over medium heat. Add as many soaked pieces of bread that will fit and cook until browned and lightly crisp, about 3 minutes. The extra chocolate and sugar means this will go from perfect to burnt fast – so be careful! Transfer to a baking pan and keep warm in a 200°F oven. Repeat for the remaining bread.
  3. Dust with confections’ sugar, if desired, and serve with strawberry slices and maple syrup.
