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 tried making custard toast when the viral trend swept social media& it quickly became a favorite, especially with coconut yogurt and tropical fruit. My family loves waking up to these bright, cheerful toasts as a weekend treat.
Ingredients
- Thick slices brioche or sturdy sourdough bread: 4 slices
- Large egg: 1
- Coconut yogurt: 100 g (1/2 cup), unsweetened or lightly sweetened

Instructions
- Prepare Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- 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.

- 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.

Recipe Q&A
- → Can I use a different bread for this dish?
Yes, sturdy sourdough or gluten-free bread works well, but brioche offers the best texture and flavor.
- → What fruits can be substituted for the tropical toppings?
Papaya, passionfruit, strawberries, or banana work beautifully as alternatives for mango, pineapple, and kiwi.
- → How do I make this vegan-friendly?
Swap the egg for 1 tbsp cornstarch and 2 tbsp plant milk. Use plant-based yogurt for the custard base.
- → Is coconut yogurt necessary for the custard?
No, plain or Greek yogurt can be substituted, but coconut yogurt amplifies tropical flavors and creaminess.

Try chopped nuts, fresh berries, or a dusting of cinnamon for extra crunch and flavor variation.
- → Can I prepare this dish in advance?
The toast is best enjoyed fresh, but you can mix the custard ahead and assemble just before baking.
