VEGAN LEMON-BERRY CREAM CHEESE STUFFED FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• For the lemon-berry cream cheese stuffing, place the freeze-dried berries in a food processor and pulse until a powder forms, about 30 seconds. Place the berry powder into a bowl with the cream cheese, fresh lemon zest and maple syrup, and stir thoroughly to combine. Set aside.
• For the French Toast, place the milk, flour, sugar and vanilla extract in a large shallow bowl. Whisk to combine and set aside.
• Carefully cut down ¾ of the middle of each slice of bread, creating a 'pocket', making sure not to cut all the way through. Stuff each slice of bread with about 1-2 scant tablespoons of the lemon-berry cream cheese and gently close. Continue until each slice of bread is stuffed. Soak the stuffed bread into the milk mixture until completely soaked through, about 1 minute per side.
• In the meantime, place about 1-2 teaspoons of vegan butter in a large non-stick killet over medium heat. Once the bitter is melted, work in batches to fry each piece of stuffed toast until golden and crispy, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining pieces of stuffed toast, adding 1 to 2 teaspoons of butter to the pan as needed.
• Serve each with a generous sprinkle of powdered sugar, whipped cream, fresh berries, a pat of vegan butter and maple syrup, and enjoy!
