Ingredients
  • 1 loaf vegan texas toast or brioche loaf
  • 1 can Nature's Charm evaporated coconut milk
  • 1 can Nature's Charm sweetened condensed coconut milk
  • 1 tbsp + 1 tsp ground flax seed or chia seeds
  • 2 cups strawberries
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 3 tbsp vegan butter
  • 8 vanilla sandwich cookies
  • 1 oz freeze dried strawberries
  • 8 oz vegan cream cheese
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 325F. Slice the bread into large bite sized pieces. Place the bread in a greased deep 9x13 baking dish in an even layer.
  2. In a blender, combine the evaporated coconut milk, 1 cup strawberries, flax or chia, vanilla, and ½ the can of condensed coconut milk. Blend until smooth and creamy, then pour it over the bread.
  3. Rinse the blender. Break the cookies into small pieces, then add them to the blender with the freeze dried strawberries and 1 tbsp vegan butter.

  4. Bake the french toast for 20-25 minutes. Cover the top with foil if it starts to look too brown. Let cool for a few minutes to set. Meanwhile, blend the remining condensed milk with the vegan cream cheese. Add water or vegan milk to your desired thickness.
  5. Slice and serve the french toast with fresh strawberries and cream cheese icing.
