Preparation
FOR FRENCH TOAST
- Cut Sorrentina’s Sicilian milk loaf into thick slices approximately 2.5cm in width
- Next, add milk, eggs, cinnamon and ginger powder, salt into a bowl and whisk well
- Next, soak the bread into the mixture
- In a pan, add in a bit of butter and sear the French toast
- Make sure the French toast is seared well from both the sides, and has crispy ends but still soft in the center
- Once nicely toasted, add the brown sugar on top of the French toast (Just like it’s done for a Creme Brulee)
- Torch the sugar well, so that the sugar melts and make a nice crackling on top.
FOR WHIPPED CHEESECAKE
- Whip the cream in a stand mixture
- Smudge the cheesecake in a bowl and incorporate it into whipped cream giving it body.
- Chop the truffle nuts and add into the mix along with a dash of balsamic vinegar
- Give it a gentle whisk so that everything is well-incorporated
FOR FINISHING
- Transfer the French toast to a plate
- Take a dollop of the whipped cheesecake and place it over the French toast
- Garnish it with seasonal strawberries and fresh mint
