- In a large bowl beat together coconut cream, sugar and cinnamon until soft peaks form. Cover and refrigerate.
For Stuffed Hot Chocolate French Toast:
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, cocoa powder, sugar, vanilla, coconut cream and milk.
- Spread ¾ of all chocolate ganache on 3 slices of bread. Top with the remaining 3 slices.
- Dip each sandwich into the custard and let each side soak for about 1 minute.
- Heat a few tablespoons of coconut oil in a large skillet and over medium heat. Place 2 soaked sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side.
