Cinnabon French Toast with Raspberry Cream Cheese

Do you want yet another way to enjoy French toast? How about adding capfuls of Cinnabon Liqueur to French toast batter? But that’s not all we’re doing here folks. I have also made a very berry raspberry cream cheese and, “Just wow!” is all I can say. So, if you’re looking for a reason to prepare breakfast (or brunch) in bed for your special someone then chances are you’ll get a gold star and a peck on the cheek for serving up this Cinnabon French Toast with Raspberry Cream Cheese.

Oh, and a quick note: In my opinion, good French toast is only as good as the bread you use. I suggest using an artisanal white high-quality bread. It’ll make all the difference. Splurging for high-grade sweet cream butter is never a bad thing either. Look down below for the details. Bien manger!
