Yield 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

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.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my French toast turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked it.

I would have liked the coconut cream filling to be a bit thicker. I think I'll add a little bit of cornstarch next time.

I had some trouble getting the French toast to cook evenly. Some of the pieces were overcooked while others were still undercooked.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar in the coconut cream filling next time.
