stuffed-french-toast-recipeThis stuffed french toast is one of my husband’s favorites. We stumbled across the dish when finding ways to use up frosting for this cake (which is fabulous, by the way). The combo was amazing, like it was always meant to be. Now when we make the recipe for French toast we add less butter than the original recipe.

Stuffing for Stuffed French Toast
Adapted from Williams Sonoma recipe for Almond-Scented Cream Cheese Frosting

1 lb. cream cheese, at room temperature
2 Tbs. unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/4 cups confectioners’ sugar
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/2 tsp. almond extract

Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth on med-high. Reduce to low, add the confectioners’ sugar and beat until smooth. Add vanilla and almond extracts and continue beating until blended.
