Ingredients
- 4 large brioche rolls
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 ounces dark chocolate, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup caramel sauce
- Extra powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
How to Make Chocolate Cream-Filled Brioche Sandwich
- Begin by making the chocolate cream. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chopped dark chocolate. Let it sit for 2 minutes to melt the chocolate.
- Whisk the chocolate and cream mixture until smooth. Stir in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until fully incorporated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to thicken.
- While the chocolate cream is chilling, slice each brioche roll in half horizontally. If desired, lightly toast the cut sides of the brioche for added texture.
- Once the chocolate cream is chilled and thickened, generously fill each brioche bottom with the chocolate cream. Place the tops back on the rolls.
- Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top of each sandwich. For an extra touch, dust with powdered sugar if desired.
- Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
