These simple Chocolate Chili French Toasts are perfect for a special weekend breakfast. The thick slices of white bread (‘Texas toast’) are dipped in a mixture of eggs, almond milk and cocoa and fried briefly in a pan. The recipe does not contain granulated sugar, but is sweetened with maple syrup. The slightly spicy VIVANI Superior Dark Chili Chocolate melts on the hot, crispy slices, giving the dish a strong cocoa flavour and creamy sweetness.
Superior Dark Chili Chocolate: the perfect accompaniment to these French toasts
VIVANI Superior Dark Chili Chocolate is an exceptional variety containing 70% characterful fine cocoa from the Dominican Republic. The very flat shape of the bar brings out the balanced cocoa aroma particularly well. The profile of this chocolate is complemented by the spicy aromas of dried Rawit chillies. This chocolate is therefore particularly suitable for recipes that call for contrasting flavours. It is the perfect addition to our Chocolate Chili French Toast and offers that special something for anyone who likes to discover new flavours.

Tips:
• Alternative serving suggestion:
Instead of layering, serve each piece of French toast individually with a piece of melted chocolate.
• For a more intense cocoa flavour:
Sprinkle with a little fleur de sel.
• Alternative ingredients:
The almond milk can be replaced with other plant-based milks or cow’s milk, as desired.
