  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
  • 6 tablespoons butter room temperature
  • 8 slices cinnamon raisin bread

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the can of dulce de leche, mascarpone cheese, and vanilla bean paste. Use a spatula to mix until smooth and well blended.
  2. Spread a generous amount of the dulce de leche mascarpone filling onto four slices of cinnamon raisin bread. Add a tablespoon of raspberry preserves to each sandwich and top with the remaining slices of bread.
  3. Spread softened butter on the outside of each sandwich for a golden crust.
  4. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grill the sandwiches for 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and grill the other side.
  5. Once both sides are golden, remove from the skillet, cut in half if desired, and serve warm topped with whipped cream and raspberry preserves.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Reheat in a skillet over low heat for a crispy texture.
  • Consider using gluten-free bread for a gluten-free version.
