FOR THE HOT CHOCOLATE:
Almond or Soy Milk & vegan Hot Chocolate Mix to equal TWO cups worth
2-1/2tspCornstarch
1/2tspBaking Powder
Vegan Chocolate Chips
Coconut Whipped Cream
Instructions
Slice french bread into 1" slices
For the chocolate ganache, heat the creamer and butter in a small saucepan until warm and add the chocolate chips. Whisk until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and into the freezer until spreadable consistency, about 30 minutes.
For the hot chocolate, use your favorite vegan hot chocolate made with almond or soy milk heated in a sauce pan. You'll need two servings worth. To this, add the cornstarch and baking powder. Whisk together and transfer to a loaf pan.
Spread the ganache on one side of two slices of bread and add a few chocolate chips, sandwiching the two slices together. Do not overfill.
Transfer the sandwiches to the hot chocolate mixture and allow to soak for 15 minutes per side. Using a fork, gently poke holes into the bread to allow the hot chocolate to seep into it. Occasionally spoon hot chocolate over the bread.
Heat a fry pan or griddle and add a small amount of vegan margarine. Add the soaked sandwiches to the griddle and cook until browned on each side. When both sides are golden brown, allow to sit on a cutting board for a minute and cut in half. Serve immediately with leftover ganache, our coconut whipped cream and a few chocolate chips.
