Making the Magic
Start by making your batter. In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, flour, eggs, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. The flour might seem unusual, but trust—it gives your toast structure and that custardy middle you want.
Slice your brioche thick. You want each piece to soak up the good stuff without falling apart. Dip each slice into the batter for 15–20 seconds per side, letting it absorb but not drown.
Heat a nonstick or cast iron pan over medium heat. Melt a pat of butter, then cook the soaked bread slices for 2–3 minutes per side. Flip when the bottom is golden and the edges are starting to crisp.
Stack your French toast on a plate and resist the urge to eat it right away. It’s about to get even better.
Infused Whipped Cream: The Citrus Crown
Now for the fun part—your elevated topping. This infused orange whipped cream is the finishing move you didn’t know you needed.
Start with a chilled mixing bowl. Add your infused heavy cream, powdered sugar, orange juice, and orange zest. Whip it all together until soft peaks form—it should hold its shape but still be creamy enough to melt into the toast.
Taste it. Adjust the zest or sweetness if needed. This topping is bright, slightly tangy, and so smooth you’ll want to eat it by the spoonful.
Plating and Serving
To serve, stack your golden slices of French toast and top them with a generous scoop of infused whipped cream. Drizzle warm maple syrup over everything and sprinkle a little extra orange zest on top for pop.
Want bonus points? Add fresh berries. They cut through the richness and make your plate look like brunch art.
Dosing Tips for a Balanced Brunch
If your infused cream is around 10mg THC per tablespoon, here’s a quick guideline to keep things mellow:
-
Low dose (2.5–5mg): Use about ½ tablespoon of infused cream per serving.
-
Medium dose (5–10mg): One full tablespoon per person.
-
Higher dose (10–15mg): Mix infused and non-infused cream to dial it in.
You can also swap in infused butter for part of the pan cooking fat, or drizzle infused maple syrup over the top. Just be mindful of your total THC content—especially with a dish this easy to overeat.
Final Thoughts
Infused French toast is rich, sweet, and hits that comfort-food craving just right. The infused whipped cream adds brightness, balance, and a citrus twist that takes it beyond basic.
Whether you’re easing into the weekend or winding down from the week, this recipe turns your morning into something a little more magical. Just dose smart, enjoy slowly, and maybe clear your schedule for a nap afterward.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this without infused cream?
Of course! You can use regular whipped cream and infuse the dish by cooking with infused butter or using infused syrup instead.
How strong is infused cream?
It depends on your infusion. If you used 1 gram of 20% THC flower in 1 cup of cream, it could be around 7–10mg per tablespoon. Always test a small amount first.
Can I store the whipped cream?
Yes! Keep it refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2–3 days. It may deflate slightly but still tastes great.
What’s the best bread to use?
Brioche or challah. You want something soft and rich with a little structure so it doesn’t fall apart.
Can I prep any of this ahead of time?
Absolutely. You can make the batter and the infused whipped cream the night before. Just give everything a stir before using.
