Pin A vibrant, creamy take on the viral custard toast featuring coconut yogurt and a medley of fresh tropical fruits. The perfect balance of crisp, creamy, and fruity goodness for breakfast or brunch.
When custard toast first became popular online, I loved experimenting with new flavors. This version is tropical-inspired and quickly became a brunch favorite at home.
Ingredients
- For the Toast: 4 thick slices brioche or sturdy sourdough bread, 1 large egg, 100 g (1/2 cup) coconut yogurt (unsweetened or lightly sweetened), 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, pinch of sea salt
- Toppings: 1/2 mango (peeled and diced), 1/2 cup fresh pineapple (diced), 1 kiwi (peeled and sliced), 2 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut, zest of 1 lime, extra honey or maple syrup for drizzling (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Make Custard:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, coconut yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and creamy.
- Shape Bread:
- Place the bread slices on the prepared baking sheet. Using the back of a spoon, gently press down the center of each slice to create a shallow well leaving a border around the edges.
- Add Custard:
- Spoon the coconut yogurt custard mixture evenly into the wells of each bread slice.
- Bake:
- Bake for 1012 minutes until the custard is just set and the bread edges are golden.
- Topping & Serve:
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Top each toast with mango pineapple kiwi and a sprinkle of shredded coconut and lime zest. Drizzle with extra honey or maple syrup if desired. Serve immediately.
