Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup dairy-free vanilla ice cream, melted
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp dairy-free butter, divided (plus additional for serving)
  • 10 slices white bread (double check to ensure dairy-free)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted dairy-free ice cream, and cinnamon.
  2. Add ½ tablespoon of the dairy free butter to a large skillet over medium-low heat. Swirl to coat the pan.
  3. When the skillet is hot, dip a slice of white bread into the egg mixture, fully coating the bread, and place in the skillet. Repeat with as many slices will comfortably fit in the pan.
  4. Cook the slices for about 2 minutes per side, until golden brown on each side.
  5. Repeat in batches, adding ½ tablespoon of the dairy free butter to the skillet before each batch, until all the slices are cooked.
  6. Enjoy topped with additional dairy-free butter, maple syrup, or any of your other favorite French toast toppings.

Recipe Notes

  • Melt the ice cream briefly in the microwave until it just starts to turn to a liquid.
  • Ideally use bread that is a few days old and slightly stale – it works best for French toast.
  • I recommend Breyer’s Oat Milk Vanilla ice cream and Country Crock plant butter sticks for this recipe.
