Grilled Chocolate Bread: A Match Made in Heaven

The Perfect Pairing

Imagine the ultimate comfort food combination: crispy, buttery bread and rich, velvety chocolate. This indulgent treat has been a staple in European cuisine for centuries, but we’ve taken it to the next level by adding a twist – grilling it to perfection.

A Churro-Inspired Twist

Inspired by the sweet, crispy goodness of churros, we’ve created a unique sandwich that combines the best of both worlds. By grilling a French roll filled with bittersweet chocolate, we’ve achieved a crispy, caramelized crust that pairs perfectly with a scoop of your favorite ice cream.

Quick and Easy Recipe

This recipe requires minimal effort but yields maximum flavor. With just six ingredients and 15 minutes of active cooking time, you can create this decadent treat at home.

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 1/2 ounces bittersweet chocolate
• 1 (7- to 8-inch) French roll, sliced in half horizontally
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
• Ice cream, for serving

Grilling to Perfection

Heat your grill or grill pan to medium heat. In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon; set aside. Place the chocolate inside the bread, close, and evenly spread butter on the outside. Grill for 5 minutes, pressing frequently with a metal spatula, until grill marks have formed on the bottom and the crust is browned. Flip and sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar on the grilled side. Grill the other side until browned and crusty, about 5 to 8 minutes more.

The Final Touches

Remove from heat and sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar on top. Cut into 1-inch pieces and serve with your favorite ice cream. This sweet treat is sure to become a new favorite!
