Serves 4

2 cups	Coconut cream
3	Eggs, beaten
2 tsp	Vanilla paste
4 tsp	Caster sugar, or replace paste and sugar with 6 tsp of vanilla sugar
1 tsp	Ground cinnamon
8 slices	Bread
2 to serve	Bananas, sliced

Combine the above in a bowl. Dip 2 slices of bread per person into the mix.
Fry the soaked bread in vegetable oil and butter to colour, hold in a warm oven.
When you have finished cooking the French Toast, add a bit more butter to the pan, cook off banana slices and dust them with a bit more cinnamon and/or vanilla sugar.
Drain on paper towels then plate up with the warm coconut French toast. 5 Sprinkle with some icing sugar or, for complete indulgence, drizzle with Heilala Vanilla Syrup.
