  • 1 cup canned coconut milk may swap 2% or whole milk
  • 2-4 tablespoons of Malcolm’s Hot Chocolate (or your favourite hot chocolate powder)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract optional
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 8 slices rather thick of your favourite bread

Hot Cocoa Ganache

  • 3/4 cup canned coconut milk may sub heavy cream
  • 9 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chopped
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter
  • 2 teaspoons instant expresso powder

For topping

  • coconut whipped cream or regular whipped cream
  • marshmallows – homemade are best!
  • toasted coconut

According to HalfBakedHarvest.com, it really does taste as good as it looks!

Instructions

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.

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 Malcolm’s fine Hot Chocolate powder from Dure Foods. Let cool 5 minutes.

In the meantime grab a 9×13 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.

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!

in , /by

In the current climate of expanding food ordering, processing, and distribution technologies, finding the most profitable way to seize upon the zeitgeist may seem intimidating.

However, with the right skills and tools at your disposal, this is the ideal time to get involved in some of the fastest growing industries. One perfect example of this is white label resellers, which represent a business opportunity both for large organizations and small.

There are a few main reasons why partnering with a white label reseller may be a good option:

  1. It is quick and easy to distribute your product under a white label.As a producer, the time and capital costs attributed to distributing and marketing your product can be prohibitive. Especially in the face of large scale commercial competitors, which have the reach to overshadow newer products.Looking to white label resellers as a solution can help to limit capital investment to quality control and production; factors which may be more in line with your current sunk costs.
  2. If you are looking to expand your product line. On the other end of the spectrum, looking to become a white label reseller, even if you are already a producer, can help to add products to your repertoire. While this may seem counter at first, if the end goal is to create a one-stop-shop—or capture more business—looking to white label solutions can be a tried and true alternative.It is significantly cheaper and easier than launching an untested product, and bares significantly less risk.
  3. It keeps the customer happy. Part of the benefit of white labelling is the two fold benefit of reducing cost and expanding reach. In the case of becoming a white label reseller, you have a reduced development cost. This will therefore lead to an overall reduction in the price needed to recoup losses.On the other hand, if you are looking to source your product to a white label reseller, than the costs will reduce based on the lack of advertising needed. In either case, either your product or your branding is getting to more people.

The burgeoning internet market is teeming with white label reselling opportunities.

Whether in the context of a company looking to rebrand their items in a white-label fashion, or for a new business looking to expand their product line, white label reselling is a viable option.

This is because the internet market place rewards simple solutions, with broad applications, and overall economic priorities. In other words, by provided more economic and diverse solutions, white label resellers are primed corner this new web based economy.
