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.
I first made this Yogurt-Custard Toast after watching the viral custard toast trend take off. The creamy coconut yogurt and juicy tropical fruit combination made a simple slice completely irresistible at our weekend brunch.
Ingredients
- Thick slices brioche or sturdy sourdough bread: 4 slices
- Large egg: 1
- Coconut yogurt: 100 g (1/2 cup), unsweetened or lightly sweetened
- Honey or maple syrup: 1 tbsp
- Vanilla extract: 1/2 tsp
- Sea salt: pinch

- Fresh pineapple: 1/2 cup, diced

- Unsweetened shredded coconut: 2 tbsp
- Lime zest: zest of 1 lime

Instructions
- Prepare the 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.
- Prepare 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 wells:
- 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.
- Top and serve:
- Remove from 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.
