Ingredients
  

For the Creamy Filling
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese substitute with mascarpone cheese for a different flavor profile
  • ½ cup powdered sugar adjust the amount to taste based on sweetness preference
  • ¼ cup mini chocolate chips can be replaced with dark chocolate chunks if desired
For the French Toast

  • 4 large eggs necessary for traditional French toast
  • 1 cup milk can substitute with almond milk for a dairy-free option
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional but recommended
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon can be omitted for a lighter flavor
  • a pinch salt balances sweetness

Step-by-Step Instructions for Cannoli Stuffed French Toast
  1. In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, and mini chocolate chips. Blend until creamy and smooth.
  2. In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
  3. Spread cannoli filling on one slice of thick, day-old bread. Top with another slice to create a sandwich.
  4. Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
  5. Heat a skillet over medium heat, add butter, and cook each sandwich for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  6. Serve hot with a dusting of powdered sugar and, if desired, fresh fruit salad or maple syrup.
