12 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1¾ cup Milk
1½ can Coconut cream - (15 oz ea); see * Note
⅔ cup Sugar
1 cup Pasteurized egg yolks -; (abt 12 yolks)
1¼ tablespoon Vanilla extract
½ pounds White bread or baguette; cut 1\" cubes
⅓ cup Thinly sliced dried apricots
½ cup Shredded coconut

Directions

* Note: Rainforest Cafe uses Coco Lopez coconut cream.

Heat milk and coconut cream with half of sugar until sugar melts, about 5 minutes. Do not boil. Beat egg yolks with remaining sugar and slowly add to hot milk mixture, stirring constantly until sugar is dissolved. Stir in vanilla. Spread bread cubes in 13- by 9-inch baking pan. Pour milk mixture over and mix to combine bread and milk. Let soak 15 minutes. Add apricots and coconut and toss to combine. Press apricots into bread mixture so they don't scorch during baking. Place baking pan in larger pan and fill with enough water to come halfway up sides of pan. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees 1 hour. Remove foil and bake until top is slightly browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Cut into squares and serve warm. Yields 12 servings.
