Gulab Jamun Stuffed French Toast

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 8 oz cream cheese
  • 1 cup powdered sugar + 2 tbsps
  • 2 tsps rose water + 1 tsp rose water used in two separate steps
  • 1/4 tsp cardamom powder
  • 1/2 cup milk + 1 tbsp used in two separate steps
  • 3 tsps liquid from Gulab Jamun can
  • 1 17.6 oz sliced brioche loaf I used Trader Joe's Sliced French Brioche
  • 1 Bikaji Gulab Jamun can
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1/2 tbsp butter; or margarine or cooking spray of choice

Serve with

  • Powdered sugar
  • Strawberries
  • Maple syrup

Instructions

  1. In a stand mixer (or using a hand mixer), beat room temperature cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add in powdered sugar and beat until incorporated. Add in 2 tsps of rose water, 1/4 tsp cardamom powder, 1 tbsp of milk and 3 tsps of liquid syrup from the gulab jamun can. Beat on low until all ingredients are incorporated and the mixture is smooth and creamy. The consistency will be that of a spread. Not too thick and not too fluid. If your mixture is too fluid, add some powdered sugar in 1 tbsp at a time to thicken it up.
  2. Next assemble the French toast. Take a slice of brioche bread, spread some of the cream cheese mixture on it (like you would mayo on a sandwich), take a piece or two of gulab jamun(s) and cut it in thin pieces and put over the cream cheese mixture. Top with another slice of brioche, creating a sandwich. Repeat until desired amount.

  3. In a shallow plate or bowl, combine eggs, 1/2 cup milk and 1 tsp rosewater. Light beat with a fork until incorporated.

  4. Place a 1/2 tbsp of butter or margarine on a pan on low heat.
  5. Dip each brioche sandwich into the egg mixture, make sure to evenly coat both sides.
  6. Place on frying pan and bake for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.

  7. Sprinkle powdered sugar on top, top with sliced strawberries and drizzle maple syrup over top.

Recipe Notes

  • Click here for the can of Gulab Jamun's I used. You can find this at your local Indian grocery store. 
  • You can refrigerate the cream cheese mixture and make french toast as you go through out the week. 
  • The measurements in this recipe should make about 4-5 stuffed french toasts, you may have some left over gulab jamuns from the can depending on how many you use & garnish with.
