Save A vibrant, creamy take on the viral custard toast, featuring coconut yogurt and a medley of fresh tropical fruits. The perfect balance of crisp, creamy, and fruity goodness for breakfast or brunch.
I first made this version for a weekend brunch after seeing the custard toast trend online. My family loved the burst of flavors from the mango, pineapple, and kiwi together with the creamy coconut yogurt base.
Ingredients

- Vanilla extract: 1/2 tsp, for aroma
- Sea salt: Pinch to enhance flavors
