COCONUT BREAD WITH SWEET PINEAPPLE BUTTER



Coconut Bread With Sweet Pineapple Butter image

This is a really yummy bread. In my opinion, this bread is best served warm with the pineapple butter. Yum! You can half the amount of butter, if you don't think you'll be using that much. Recipe courtesy of Tyler Florence. Note: I like to toast the coconut before I begin this recipe so I don't have to wait around for it. Directions for this can be found at the end. **Also, coconut milk sometimes separates in the can, if this happens then just empty out the can into a bowl and whisk it to combine well. :)

Time 1h35m

Yield 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted, plus more for greasing the pan
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 lemon, zest of, finely grated
1 1/2 cups unsweetened coconut milk
1 1/2 cups shredded coconut, toasted
confectioners' sugar, for dusting
8 ounces crushed pineapple, drained
1 cup unsalted butter, softened

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease the bottom and sides of a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan with butter.
  • In a large bowl, mix the flour with the baking powder, salt and cinnamon. In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla and the lemon zest. Pour in the coconut milk and whisk it all together.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold everything together until you have a smooth batter. Gently fold in the shredded coconut until everything is evenly distributed.
  • Pour into the prepared loaf pan and put on top of a cookie sheet. Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center of the bread. Make sure to rotate the bread a few times while cooking to ensure even cooking and browning.
  • Cool the bread in the pan for 20 minutes. When cool enough, release from pan and let completely cool before slicing.
  • Toast the slices of coconut bread, dust with confectioners sugar and serve with the pineapple butter!
  • Pineapple Butter:.
  • Press all of the liquid out of the crushed pineapple. (If there is too much juice, the fruit will separated from the butter.) I like to use a food processor to mix up the pineapple and butter but you can also mash them together in a bowl - just make sure your butter is very soft. Place the butter into a serving bowl.
  • *Note: to toast the cocount, Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the coconut on a cookie sheet and bake for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally and checking to make sure it's not getting too well done.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, unsweetened coconut milk for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have coconut milk, you can substitute 1 cup of whole milk and 1/2 cup of shredded coconut.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can make the bread tough.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the bread cool completely before frosting it.

Conclusion:

Coconut sweet bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. It is moist, fluffy, and full of coconut flavor. The cream cheese frosting adds a touch of sweetness and richness that takes this bread to the next level. Whether you are serving it for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, this bread is sure to be a hit.
