Ingredients


  • 200g fresh ricotta
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 chocolate truffles, chopped
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 8 slices panettone (see note)
  • 1/3 cup (110g) jam (we used cherry)

Description

1.

Combine the ricotta, vanilla, chocolate and 1 teaspoon cinnamon, in a bowl. Spread 4 slices panettone with the ricotta mixture and spread the other 4 slices with jam. Sandwich the slices together.

  • 2.

    Meanwhile, whisk the eggs and cream together. Soak panettone sandwiches in the egg mixture for a few seconds each side so they can absorb the batter.

  • 3.

    Melt half the butter in a large frypan over medium heat until bubbling. In batches, cook panettone for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Remove and keep warm while you cook the remaining French toast.

  • 4.

    In a small bowl, mix together the remaining cinnamon and icing sugar. Dust the French toast with cinnamon sugar, then serve immediately.
