Viral Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed French Toast- allergy friendly! Gluten free dairy free egg free

Viral Vegan Strawberry Cheesecake French Toast (For Two)

If you're craving the viral strawberry cheesecake French toast but need an allergy friendly version, this is DELICIOUS. Golden egg free French toast is stuffed with sweet dairy free cream cheese and fresh strawberries, then topped with a quick homemade strawberry sauce.

Serves: 2

Ingredients

For the French Toast

• 4 thick slices bread (I used 2 slices of Franz gluten free bread)

• 2 tsp ground flax meal

• ½ cup dairy free milk milk

• 2 Tbsp corn starch (You can omit if allergic to corn or sub with tapioca starch)

• 1 Tbsp brown sugar

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• ½ tsp baking powder

• Pinch of salt

• dairy free butter for cooking

For the Cheesecake Filling

• 4 oz vegan cream cheese, softened (I used Better Goods dairy free cream cheese)

• 2 tbsp granulated sugar

• ½ tsp vanilla extract

• ½ cup diced strawberries

For the Strawberry Topping

• 1 cup sliced strawberries

• 2 tbsp granulated sugar

• 1 tsp lemon juice

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, combine flax, milk, corn starch, brown sugar, baking powder, and vanilla. Let sit for about 5 minutes.

2. In another bowl, mix the vegan cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. (I softened cream cheese in the microwave for 15 seconds to make this easier.)

3. Dice up additional strawberries and sprinkle with sugar. Set aside.

4. Spread the cheesecake mixture onto two slices of bread and top with strawberry slices. Top the remaining slices to create two sandwiches (If using large bread such as Franz bread, I cut it in half)

5. Dip each sandwich into the mixture,milk allowing each side to soak briefly.

6. Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt a generous amount of vegan butter. Cook the French toast for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp. I recommend scraping off pan regularly to avoid sticking.

7. Slice the French toast in half and serve warm with the strawberry topping spooned generously over the top.

Notes

For the best viral-style presentation, dust with powdered sugar and sprinkle with crushed gluten free graham crackers before serving. The creamy center and strawberry topping make every bite taste just like strawberry cheesecake. Enjoy!
