- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp. powdered sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 4 tbsp. unsalted butter
- 8 slices babka (sliced about a half inch thick)
- 4 eggs, beaten
- ¼ cup whole milk
- 1 cup strawberries, sliced
- 1 sliced peach
- 1 cup blueberries
For the Strawberry Syrup:
- 2 cups sliced strawberries
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup water
- 1 tbsp. cornstarch
Begin by making the Strawberry Sauce: Mix all the ingredients in a three quart saucepan. Bring them to a boil, and then simmer for 15 minutes or until the sauce is thickened. Cover to keep warm until serving.
Then, make the whipped cream: Place the cream, vanilla, and powdered sugar in a mixing bowl, and whip it with the whisk beater on high until it's fluffy. Chill until serving.
Next, heat a tablespoon of butter in a large nonstick skillet on medium heat. Beat together the eggs and milk in a bowl. Dip half the babka slices quickly, on both sides ,into the eggs. Fry them in the butter, on both sides, until they're golden brown. Add more butter, as needed, to fry the babka slices. Then, dip and fry the other slices.
Top the toast slices with some strawberry syrup, some whipped cream, and some peaches, blueberries, and strawberries.
