📝 Preparation Steps
1
To make the ganache. In a microwave safe bowl add the cream, coconut oil and chocolate. Microwave on ⏱️ 30 second intervals, stirring after each until smooth. Stir in the instant coffee until dissolved and smooth. Place this in the freezer for ⏱️ 15 minutes or the fridge for ⏱️ 30 minutes, but no longer. You want the ganache to be spreadable or to be able to drizzle it.
coconut oil (or butter)1 tablespoon

To make the french toast. In a glass measuring cup or medium size microwave safe bowl add 1 cup of coconut milk. Microwave the milk for ⏱️ 2-3 minutes (depending on how powerful your microwave is) or until the coconut milk is hot. Stir in 3-4 tablespoons of [hot cocoa mix | https://www.halfbakedharvest.com/homemade-holiday-gifts-easy-double-chocolate-vanilla-bean-hot-cocoa-mugs-marshmallows/]. Let cool ⏱️ 5 minutes.

In the meantime grab a 9x13 inch pan and whisk together the eggs, vanilla, coconut extract (if using) and salt. Whisk in the hot chocolate.

Grab your ganache from the freezer (or fridge) and use a spoon to carefully spread the ganache over one side of all the slices of bread (You will not use all the ganache). Sandwich the slices together to make four sandwiches. Place the sandwiches in the hot cocoa egg mixture, cover the pan and place in the fridge for ⏱️ 15 minutes. After ⏱️ 15 minutes flip the sandwiches over so the other side of the sandwich is now in the egg mixture. Place back in the fridge for ⏱️ 15 minutes or let it sit overnight.
5
When ready to cook the french toast. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and coat generously with butter. When the skillet is hot, cook the french toast in batches (do not overcrowd) until golden and crisp, 3 to ⏱️ 4 minutes per side. Remove and serve immediately with coconut whipped cream, marshmallows (you should toast them!!), toasted coconut and a good drizzle of more ganache. DEVOUR! :)
