total timeIngredients
4 ounces mascarpone
1 cup heavy whipping cream, divided
¼ cup powdered sugar, plus more for topping
1 teaspoon vanilla extract, divided
1 (16-ounce) loaf challah bread, cut into 1-inch slices
2 cups strawberries, sliced and stems removed
10 eggs
2 cups milk
1 stick butter, melted
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
Directions
Beat the mascarpone, ½ cup heavy cream, powdered sugar, and ½ teaspoon vanilla in a bowl until soft peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
Arrange the bread slices in a casserole dish.
Dollop the whipped mascarpone evenly throughout the bread.
Add the sliced strawberries to the dish, distributing evenly.
Whisk together the eggs, milk, remaining ½ cup heavy cream, butter, remaining vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until completely smooth.
Pour the mixture over the bread in the casserole dish. Let rest for at least 1 hour or overnight.
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 F.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for another 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard has set.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before dusting with powdered sugar.
