Yield 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

Ingredients

One 2-pound loaf challah bread
Coconut Cream Cheese Filling, recipe follows
French Toast Batter, recipe follows
2 to 4 teaspoons canola oil
1/2 cup raspberry puree
1 cup strawberries, diced
4 bananas
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup shredded coconut
Serving suggestions: ground cinnamon, confectioners' sugar and maple syrup
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/4 cup mascarpone, at room temperature
1 cup shredded coconut
1/4 cup honey
1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 eggs
1 1/4 cups whole milk
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps:

Cut the bread into 5 thick slices, each about 2-inches thick. Split the top of each slice open in the middle, creating a pocket. Stuff each pocket with 1/2 cup of the Coconut Cream Cheese Filling. Dip each piece of stuffed toast into the French Toast Batter, coating completely.
Add 2 teaspoons of the oil to a pan set over medium heat. Place some pieces of the toast into the hot pan and cook until brown on both sides and heated through in the middle, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Repeat for the remaining toast, adding more oil as needed to the pan.
Transfer the raspberry puree to a squeeze bottle. Drizzle some raspberry puree in a circle on each serving plate. Sprinkle some strawberries on top. Cut the French toast slices in half on the bias and shingle 2 halves on each serving plate.
Cut the bananas in half lengthwise and then split in half again widthwise. Place the bananas cut-side up on a sheet tray. Sprinkle the bananas with the granulated sugar to coat. Using the torch, melt the sugar until golden in color. Carefully place 3 pieces of banana on each plate next to the French toast.
Sprinkle the coconut on the plates, then dust each with cinnamon and confectioners' sugar and serve with maple syrup.
In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, whisk together the cream cheese and mascarpone. Add in the shredded coconut, honey, coconut extract and vanilla extract, and mix until combined.
Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl and beat with a wire whisk. Add the milk, cream, brown sugar, cinnamon, almond extract, vanilla extract and nutmeg, and mix together until combined. Refrigerate until needed.

COCONUT CREAM FRENCH TOAST

I didn't think the name coconut French toast did this justice, and while certainly not pie-like, the flavor profile was kind of close, and I was very pleased with the results. The staler your bread, the better this will turn out! Garnish with maple syrup, fresh mango, and lime juice.

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 egg
1 egg yolk
⅓ cup coconut milk
1 teaspoon white sugar
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg
3 thick slices very stale French bread, halved crosswise
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons coconut flakes

Steps:

Place whole egg and egg yolk in a bowl. Add coconut milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and nutmeg; whisk until batter is combined.
Soak bread halves in batter, tossing every 2 to 3 minutes to ensure they are absorbing the batter evenly, 15 to 20 minutes.
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place soaked bread in a single layer in the skillet. Cook until richly browned, crispy, and cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes per side.
Toast coconut flakes in a dry skillet until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle over bread.

Tips:

Use day-old bread to make the French toast. This will help the bread to soak up the egg mixture and custard better.
If you don't have coconut cream, you can use regular milk or cream.
Add a pinch of salt to the egg mixture to help balance out the sweetness of the coconut cream.
Use a large skillet or griddle to cook the French toast. This will help to prevent the bread from sticking.
Cook the French toast over medium heat until it is golden brown and cooked through.
Serve the French toast with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Coconut cream French toast is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch recipe. It is a great way to use up day-old bread, and it can be customized to your liking. Whether you like it simple with just butter and syrup, or topped with fruit and whipped cream, coconut cream French toast is sure to be a hit.
