Coconut French toast with mango coulis

This coconut French toast is inspired by the tropical flavours of mango sticky rice. Brioche slices are soaked in a coconutty custard, cooked to golden perfection and topped with a fresh mango coulis.

Ingredients

For the mango coulis

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 120C/100C Fan/Gas ½.

  2. To make the mango coulis, put all the ingredients in a blender and blitz until smooth. Add enough water to make a thick pouring consistency, then set aside.

  3. In a bowl, briefly whisk the eggs, then add the coconut milk, sugar and coconut extract (if using). Whisk again until the sugar is dissolved.

  4. Heat a little oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat.

  5. Dip two of the brioche slices into the coconut mixture for 1 minute then flip, pressing down gently until the brioche is soaked but not soggy.

  6. Carefully lift the brioche from the coconut mixture, letting the excess drip back into the dish. Fry for about 2 minutes on each side, until golden-brown and the middle of the toast springs back when pressed.

  7. Keep warm in the oven while you cook the remaining brioche slices in the same way.

  8. To serve, stack up the French toast and top with the mango coulis.

Recipe Tips

The best coconut milks contain at least 70% coconut extract.

You can use any type of sugar, but caster sugar is best as it dissolves easily.
