Common Questions
- → Can I use regular yogurt instead of coconut yogurt?
Yes, regular plain yogurt works well. Coconut yogurt adds a subtle tropical flavor, but any unsweetened or lightly sweetened yogurt is suitable.
- → What types of bread are best for this dish?
Brioche and sturdy sourdough are recommended for their texture and thickness. Gluten-free bread may be used for dietary needs.
- → How can I make this vegan?
Replace the egg with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of plant-based milk. Use non-dairy yogurt varieties.
- → Which fruits can I substitute or add?
Papaya, banana, passionfruit, or berries make great alternatives or additions. Any ripe, juicy fruit works well.
- → Is this good for meal prep or storing?
For best texture, enjoy immediately. Toast may become soggy if stored, but you can prepare components ahead for quick assembly.

You'll need a mixing bowl, whisk, spoon, baking sheet, and parchment paper for easy cleanup.
