Ingredients
Ingredients
For the Cream Cheese Sauce:
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
For the Batter:
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

Preparation
Instructions
1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Sauce:
In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and milk. Whisk until smooth and creamy, adjusting the consistency with a little more milk if needed. Set aside or keep chilled until serving.
2. Make the Batter:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined. This batter gives the French toast bites a rich, custardy texture with just the right amount of warmth from the spices.
3. Dip and Cook the Rolls:
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt a small amount of butter. Dip each piece of Hawaiian roll into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off, and then place it in the hot skillet. Cook each side until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Continue with the remaining pieces, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
4. Serve and Garnish:
Place the French toast bites on a plate and drizzle with the cream cheese sauce. Top with your favorite fresh fruit for a pop of color and extra flavor. Strawberries, blueberries, and bananas all pair wonderfully with these bites!
