• 1 Butter
• 4 oz Cream cheese

Red Velvet French Toast With Vanilla Bean Cheesecake Filling

Serves 4

Ingredients

Vegetarian

Produce

• 1 Raspberries, Fresh

Refrigerated

• 4 Eggs

Condiments

• 1 tsp Vanilla bean paste

Baking & Spices

• 2 tbsp Cocoa powder, unsweetened
• 1 2/3 tbsp Food colouring, red
• 4 tbsp Sugar
• 2 tsp Vanilla extract, pure

Bread & Baked Goods

• 1 8oz (250g) tub Cream cheese, reduced fat

DIRECTIONS

Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of filling onto 6 toast halves; spread to evenly coat; top with remaining toast halves to create a sandwich. Drizzle with melted chocolate; top with remaining cream (optional); dust with icing/confectioners sugar and serve with berries.
