Last year on New Years morning we made our favorite Creme Brûlée French Toast recipe & we decided to keep the tradition alive this year while switching it up just a bit with this Cannoli Stuffed French Toast recipe which we’ll be making come 12/31! Majority of this recipe is the same as last years but this time we stuffed it with cannoli filling & let’s just say it was next. level. good.
One of the great things about this recipe is how easy it is to make. If you read our site often you know we’re huge fans of recipes that require minimal work on our behalf yet taste & look like a professional make them. This recipe is definitely one of those. Simply mix all of the french toast ingredients together, pour over the toast, & stick in the oven for about 45 minutes. Baking the french toast not only makes your life easier but it allows for the coating to truly soak into the toast making for a fluffy & flavorful treat. One that’s perfect to enjoy on your last day of 2016! Happy, happy New Year to all of you & thank you SO much for making our 2016 the most special year yet!
