Raspberry Vanilla French Toast Croissants

These are fabulous, but way rich. We ate them for breakfast, but they were probably the calories of a dessert. :) Sorry, no picture.

Vanilla Sauce:

1/2 cup sugar
1 tbsp flour
2 cups heavy cream
4 egg yokes
1 tbsp vanilla extract
2 scoops vanilla ice cream

In sauce pan, combine sugar and flour. Add cream, mixing until smooth. Cook over med-high heat until thick and bubbly. Cook 2 more minutes. Stir often. Put egg yokes in bowl (save whites) and mix. Add a little of the hot sauce mixture into the eggs and quickly stir. Then return the eggs to the pan and cook until 160 degrees (we did it until it boiled again-shouldn't take long). Remove from heat and add vanilla extract and ice cream. Stir until melted. Cover with plastic until ready to use.

Berry Sauce:

2 cups raspberries (fresh or frozen)
2 Tbsp sugar

Combine and simmer uncovered for 2-3 min

French toast:

3 eggs (we added the egg whites as well)
2 Tbsp milk
4 croissants, split (it makes enough for 5 or 6)
2 Tbsp butter

Mix milk and eggs. Grease pan with the butter (can use a spray). Dip croissants in egg mixture and cook.

Serve hot with vanilla and berry sauces.
