When presented, this looks almost too good to eat! I used raspberries in the Test Kitchen, and my taste buds were very happy. The nut/coconut coating gives you a surprise crunch. Adding a dollop of whipped cream tops this wonderfully!

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 loaf of thick white bread (Texas Toast works well)
1 lb strawberries or raspberries
1 pt heavy whipping cream
1 pkg cream cheese, softened
2 Tbsp sugar, divided
1/3 c sweetened flaked coconut
1/3 c macadamia nuts, finely chopped
4 egg whites (or just 2 whole lg. eggs)
1/3 c milk
red food coloring drops

Steps:

  • 1. Mash berries and add 1 tbsp of sugar. Set aside.
  • 2. In pie plate mix egg and milk.
  • 3. In different pie plate mix nuts and coconut.
  • 4. Dip each slice of bread first in egg mixture, then in nut mixture and place in greased, hot skillet. Cook for a few minutes on each side until golden brown. Sometimes with the thick bread, I even stand them on their sides to brown for a bit.
  • 5. Whip pint of cream on high until stiff, adding 1 tbsp of sugar towards the end of whipping. Set aside 1/2 of the whipped cream in bowl. In remaining 1/2 of whipped cream, if desired, add red food coloring, mix and also set this whipped cream in in fridge until all the french toast is cooked. In separate bowl, whip cream cheese until smooth and airy. Fold into white 1/2 of whipped cream.
  • 6. Layer 1 slice of cooked french toast, cream cheese mixture, some of the smashed berries, another slice of the toast, and then a dollop of the pink whipped cream and a little more berries. Yum!

I'm not a huge fan of coconut, but this French toast was surprisingly good. The flavors were well-balanced and the French toast was cooked perfectly.

This recipe didn't work out for me at all. The French toast was soggy and the flavors didn't blend well together.

This was a great way to use up some leftover coconut milk. The French toast was moist and flavorful, and the berries and macadamia nuts added a nice touch.

This recipe was a disappointment. The French toast was dry and the coconut flavor was overpowering.
