Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

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.

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.

Time 38m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 9

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 a thick, high-quality coconut cream for the best flavor and texture. If you can't find coconut cream, you can use full-fat coconut milk instead, but the flavor will be slightly less pronounced.
  • If you're using frozen coconut cream, be sure to thaw it completely before using it. This will help it mix smoothly with the other ingredients.
  • For a richer flavor, you can toast the bread slices in a mixture of butter and coconut oil before dipping them in the coconut cream mixture.
  • If you like your French toast crispy, cook it over medium-high heat. For softer French toast, cook it over medium heat.
  • Serve your coconut cream French toast with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, whipped cream, or maple syrup.

Conclusion:

Coconut cream French toast is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. It's perfect for special occasions or everyday meals. With its creamy coconut flavor and crispy texture, this French toast is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
