Ingredients

• 8 cups (cubed) day-old bread (French or brioche)
• 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
• 1 cup whole milk
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons dark rum
• 1 cup crushed pineapple (drained)
• 0.5 cup sweetened shredded coconut
• 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0 whipped cream (optional, for serving)
• 0 maraschino cherries (optional, for garnishing)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened coconut milk, whole milk, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, rum, and salt. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 3

Add the cubed bread to the wet mixture and gently toss to coat. Allow the bread to soak for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even absorption.

Step 4

Gently fold in the crushed pineapple and sweetened shredded coconut into the soaked bread mixture.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the bread pudding.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until the bread pudding is golden brown on top and set in the center. A knife inserted into the middle should come out clean.

Step 7

Remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.

Step 8

Serve warm or at room temperature. Optionally, top with whipped cream and garnish with maraschino cherries for a true Pina Colada touch.
