Vegan Cannoli French Toast

Ingredients

• 8 slices Bread
• 1 cup Almond milk
• 1 tbsp Cornstarch
• 2 tbsp Sugar
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
• 1 cup Vegan Ricotta
• 1/4 cup Chocolate chips
• 1 tsp Orange zest
• 2 tbsp Oil

Instructions

1. 1In a shallow dish, whisk together the 1 cup of almond milk, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon until smooth and no lumps of cornstarch remain.
2. 2In a separate medium bowl, gently stir together the 1 cup of vegan ricotta, 1/4 cup of chocolate chips, and 1 teaspoon of orange zest until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
3. 3Place one slice of bread into the almond milk mixture, allowing it to soak for about 10 seconds per side, then carefully lift it out, letting any excess liquid drip back into the dish.
4. 4Heat the 2 tablespoons of oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat (350°F/175°C). Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the soaked bread into the skillet.
5. 5Cook the bread for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until it is golden brown and slightly puffed. You are looking for a nice crisp exterior.
6. 6Repeat steps 3 and 4 with the remaining 7 slices of bread, adding a little more oil to the pan if it looks dry between batches.
7. 7Once all slices are cooked, arrange them on plates. Spoon the vegan ricotta mixture evenly over half of the cooked bread slices, then place the remaining bread slices on top to create sandwiches.
8. 8Serve immediately.
