Ingredients

Main Ingredients

8 slices brioche bread thick-cut
1 cup espresso brewed and cooled
1/2 cup whole milk
4 large eggs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons coffee liqueur
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon unsalted butter for cooking

Mascarpone Cream

1 cup mascarpone cheese softened
1/2 cup heavy cream chilled
1/4 cup powdered sugar sifted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Toppings

2 tablespoons cocoa powder for dusting
1/4 cup dark chocolate shavings

Instructions

1 In a shallow dish, whisk together the espresso, milk, eggs, granulated sugar, coffee liqueur, and vanilla extract until smooth.
2 Dip each slice of brioche bread into the espresso mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated, then set aside on a plate.
3 Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the unsalted butter.
4 Cook the soaked brioche slices in batches, about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
5 While the French toast is cooking, prepare the mascarpone cream by beating together the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth and fluffy.
6 Once the French toast is cooked, serve immediately with a generous dollop of mascarpone cream on top.
7 Dust with cocoa powder and sprinkle dark chocolate shavings over the top before serving.
