Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Day-old bread (cubed)
- 1 can (13.5 oz) Coconut milk
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
Place the cubed bread in the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together coconut milk, whole milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, melted butter, and salt until well combined.
Pour the coconut milk mixture evenly over the bread cubes, ensuring all the bread pieces are soaked. Gently press down on the bread with a spatula or the back of a spoon to make sure it absorbs the liquid.
Sprinkle the shredded coconut evenly over the top of the mixture.
Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the bread to fully soak up the liquid.
Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm, optionally with whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
