Ingredients

  • French Toasts:
  • 3 tablespoons salted butter
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 large eggs, beaten
  • 24 mini muffins (chocolate chip, blueberry and corn), halved from top to bottom
  • 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar, for dusting
  • Whipped Cream:
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Mexican Chocolate Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup jarred chocolate fudge sauce
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Serving:
  • 1 cup maple syrup, warmed
  • 1 cup dulce de leche, warmed

Directions

  1. For the French toasts: Place a cast-iron griddle over medium heat. Add the butter and allow to melt until the bubbles subside.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt and eggs. Gently dip the muffins into the egg mixture; allow any excess egg to drip off. Cook until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a serving platter and shake the confectioners’ sugar over the top.

  3. For the whipped cream: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream, confectioners’ sugar, cinnamon and vanilla. Use an electric mixer to whip until soft peaks form.

  4. For the Mexican chocolate sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the chocolate fudge sauce and cream. Microwave until warm, about 30 seconds. Whisk in the chili powder.

  5. For serving: Serve the French toasts with the whipped cream, Mexican chocolate sauce, maple syrup and dulce de leche.
