Thick & Rich Homemade French Toast is slathered in Nutella stuffed with Strawberries and topped with Fresh Whipped Cream & Chocolate Shavings for a little something extra. This Nutella Strawberry French Toast Recipe will be your new favorite breakfast dessert!
Yeah, yeah, I know its Summertime the last thing me or anyone else needs is a French toast filled with loads of Nutella, Strawberries, Fresh Whipped Cream and chocolate shavings.
See, that's where you are wrong. This shizzz is to die for. As my sister said " One of the best things you have ever made" I ain't gonna lie she was right.
You know why? It's simple and fresh ingredients. The quality of the ingredients is most important.
- Fresh Whipped Cream NOT the canned stuff
- Cadbury Dairy milk shavings
- Nutella
- Thick sliced bread to soak up all the Eggy/ Creamy goodness
How do you make french toast?
In a large bowl whisk your eggs, milk, cream, vanilla and melted butter together. Whisk in flour.
Place one piece of the bread in the egg batter. Press it down a little then flip the piece of bread over and let it sit for 30 seconds to a minute.
Put a large skillet on a burner over medium heat. Add a little bit of butter, ½ tablespoon.
Place the soaked bread in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
How do you make french toast ahead of time?
I don't recommend doing this too far ahead but an hour or so works. So if I want to make it before or if I am cooking for a crowd I turn my oven on to 200F and place the cooked french toast in a pan until they're all done.
When ready to serve place cooked French toast on a plate, spread on a tablespoon or two of Nutella, sprinkle on some strawberries and if you live your life in excess take another piece of French toast spread a little bit of Nutella on that and place that Nutella face down on top of the strawberries on the other piece of French toast.
Add a few more strawberries on top a dollop of whipped cream and a few chocolate shavings.
How do you make chocolate shavings?
For this recipe since I don't need huge chocolate curls, I find the easiest thing to do is to place a chocolate bar in the fridge. Then when you are ready to serve the toast use a vegetable peeler to peel shavings of chocolate off the side of the bar. Peel on the thick side of the bar.
What bread should I use for french toast?
I never knew that Van de Kamp made a "French Toast" bread. It was the perfect bread to use, it soaked up the egg/ cream mixture beautifully. I highly suggest it. Trader Joe's also does a brioche sliced bread perfect for french toast.
