2 tablespoons vanilla extract
•
1 cup white sugar

1 cup raspberry puree

4 ounces cream cheese, softened

Directions
1
In a bowl, whisk milk, vanilla, sugar, and cinnamon into the beaten eggs until well blended. Set aside. In a separate bowl, cream together raspberry puree and cream cheese until smooth. Make 'sandwiches' by cutting each slice of bread in half and spreading raspberry-cheese mixture in the center, then top with the other half.
