Save to Pinterest 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.
The first time I tried this version of custard toast, I was amazed at how coconut yogurt elevated the flavor and paired beautifully with fresh mango and pineapple. It instantly became a weekend brunch favorite in our house.
Ingredients
- Brioche or sourdough bread: 4 thick slices, sturdy enough to hold the custard
- Egg: 1 large, adds richness to the custard
- Coconut yogurt: 100 g (1/2 cup), unsweetened or lightly sweetened
- Honey or maple syrup: 1 tbsp, for a touch of natural sweetness
- Vanilla extract: 1/2 tsp, enhances flavor
- Sea salt: Pinch, balances the sweetness
- Mango: 1/2, peeled and diced
- Pineapple: 1/2 cup fresh, diced
- Kiwi: 1, peeled and sliced
- Shredded coconut: 2 tbsp unsweetened
- Lime zest: Zest of 1 lime
- Extra honey or maple syrup: For drizzling (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare oven and baking sheet:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Make custard mixture:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 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.
- Fill with custard:
- Spoon the coconut yogurt custard mixture evenly into the wells of each bread slice.
- Bake:
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the custard is just set and the bread edges are golden.
- Add toppings:

- Serve:
- Drizzle with extra honey or maple syrup if desired. Serve immediately.
