Ingredients
- 1 ounce can full-fat coconut milk or 1 cup heavy cream (cold (refrigerate overnight), 15)
- 1/2 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean (seeds scraped or 1/2 vanilla extract)
- 2 ripe peaches (quartered + pits removed)
- 4 tablespoons butter (melted + plus more for spreading)
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract (divided)
- 2 tablespoons Kahlua (divided (optional))
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar (divided)
- 6 slices thick Brioche or [Challah Bread | https://www.halfbakedharvest.com/simple-whole-wheat-challah-bread/]
- 1 cup milk (I used coconut milk)
- 3 eggs
- 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- pure maple syrup (for drizzling)
- powdered sugar (for dusting)
Steps
-
Tip your cold can of coconut milk upside down and open it. There should be around 1/2 cup of coconut water at the top. Pour this into a container and save for another use. Scoop out the coconut cream and place in a bowl. Whip the cream for 3 to 5 minutes, until soft peaks form. If you are whipping heavy cream, whip another 3-5 minutes or until medium peaks form. Beat in the powdered sugar and vanilla. Place in the fridge while you grill the french toast + peaches.
-
Preheat the grill or a grill pan to medium high heat.
-
In a small bowl whisk together 4 tablespoons melted butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1 tablespoon Kahlua (if using). Place the quartered peaches on a plate and brush with a little bit of the melted butter, reserve the remaining butter for basting while grilling. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon brown sugar over the buttered peaches.
-
In the bottom of a shallow dish whisk together the milk, eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 tablespoon kahlua (if using) and cinnamon.
-
Generously butter all sides of each piece of bread (front and back!!!). Place the bread slices in the egg mixture and allow them to soak 1-2 minutes. Flip the slices and sprinkle with a little brown sugar, then allow to soak another 1-2 minutes. Remove the bread and place the sugared side down on a plate. Sprinkle the other side with sugar. Repeat with the remaining bread slices.
-
Place the peaches cut side down on the grill and grill for 3-5 five minutes or until lightly caramelized. Flip and grill another 3-5 minutes, drizzle with the remaining melted butter/kahula mixture as they cook. During the same time add the slices of bread directly to the grill. Grill for 3-5 minutes per side, watching closely to make sure they do not burn. Drizzle with the melted butter/kahula mixture as they cook. You want the bread to be golden and lightly caramelized. Remove the french toast + peaches from the grill. Serve with whipped cream and a dusting of powdered sugar. Drizzle with maple syrup if desired. EAT RIGHT AWAY.
