Pin Recipe 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 tried this custard toast on a lazy weekend. The creamy coconut yogurt paired with sweet, fresh fruit made it an instant favorite at our breakfast table.
Ingredients
- Thick bread slices: 4 slices brioche or sturdy sourdough bread
- Egg: 1 large
- 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
- 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
- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare Custard:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, coconut yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and creamy.
- Form Toast Wells:
- 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 and Bake:
- Spoon the coconut yogurt custard mixture evenly into the wells of each bread slice. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the custard is just set and the bread edges are golden.
- Add Toppings:
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Top each toast with mango, pineapple, kiwi, and a sprinkle of shredded coconut and lime zest.
- Finishing Touch:
- Drizzle with extra honey or maple syrup if desired. Serve immediately.

Recipe FAQs
- → Can I use a different type of bread?
Yes, brioche or sourdough works well, but any sturdy bread can hold the custard and toppings.
- → Is coconut yogurt necessary?
Coconut yogurt is recommended for its tropical flavor, though plain or Greek yogurt are good alternatives.
- → How do I make this vegan?
Replace the egg with cornstarch and plant-based milk to maintain creaminess without using animal products.
- → What other fruits go well?
Papaya, passionfruit, or banana add an extra layer of tropical sweetness and work beautifully as substitutes.
