Cut the bread into 1-inch cubes.

Place the bread in a greased 9x13 baking dish with at least 2-inch sides.

In a medium bowl, add the eggs and whip until fluffy.

Add the heavy whipping cream, unsweetened milk, sweetener, cinnamon powder, salt, and nutmeg and whip until it’s fully combined.

Pour the egg mixture over the bread cubes and be sure to coat all bread cubes.

Place the pan in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to an hour to allow all the egg mixture to be absorbed into the bread.

Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes.

In a medium bowl, combine all the ingredients for the cream cheese frosting and mix it on high with a hand mixer until the frosting is smooth and creamy.

Drizzle the frosting over the Baked French toast when it’s hot out of the oven just before serving.
