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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

Place the cubed bread in the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together coconut milk, whole milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, melted butter, and salt until well combined.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Sprinkle the shredded coconut evenly over the top of the mixture.

Step 6

Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the bread to fully soak up the liquid.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.
