Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

2 slices of bread (thick-cut bread such as sourdough, brioche, or whole wheat works well)
1/4 cup plain yogurt (Greek yogurt for a thicker texture, or regular yogurt for a creamier consistency)
1/4 cup custard (prepared or homemade)
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fresh fruit for topping (such as berries, banana slices, or kiwi)
Ground cinnamon or nutmeg (optional, for added flavor)
A small handful of nuts or granola for crunch (optional)

Directions

Toast the bread: Start by toasting the slices of bread until they are golden brown and crispy. You can do this in a toaster, on a griddle, or in a skillet.
Make the custard yogurt mixture: In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, custard, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and fully combined.
Spread the mixture: Once the bread is toasted, spread the custard-yogurt mixture generously over the top of each slice of toast.
Add toppings: Top with your choice of fresh fruit, such as berries, banana slices, or kiwi. If desired, sprinkle with a little cinnamon or nutmeg for added warmth and flavor.
Optional crunch: For extra texture, sprinkle some chopped nuts, granola, or coconut flakes on top.
Serve: Enjoy immediately while the toast is still warm and crispy!

Servings and timing

Serves 2 (1 slice per person)
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 2–3 minutes (for toasting the bread)

Variations

Fruit variations: Add tropical fruits like pineapple, mango, or papaya for a fresh, exotic twist.
Nutty version: Top with crushed almonds, walnuts, or pistachios for extra flavor and crunch.
Spices: Add ground cinnamon, cardamom, or a pinch of ginger to the custard for an extra warm, spiced flavor.
Vegan option: Use plant-based yogurt and custard made from non-dairy milk and thickeners such as cornstarch or agar-agar for a vegan-friendly version.

Storage/reheating

Custard Yogurt Toast is best served fresh, as the toast can lose its crispness over time.
If you have leftover custard-yogurt mixture, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. You can use it on more toast, or as a topping for pancakes or fruit bowls.
The toast itself is best enjoyed immediately for the perfect balance of crunchy and creamy.

FAQs

Can I use store-bought custard instead of making my own?

Yes, store-bought custard works perfectly for this recipe. Just make sure it’s a smooth custard to mix well with the yogurt.

Can I use flavored yogurt instead of plain yogurt?

Yes, flavored yogurt will work, but it may alter the taste of the dish. Plain yogurt is recommended for a balanced, creamy flavor that complements the sweetness of the custard and the toast.

How do I prevent the toast from getting soggy?

Toast the bread until it’s extra crispy to prevent it from getting soggy when you add the custard-yogurt mixture. You can also serve the toast immediately after assembling to retain its crunch.

Can I make this ahead of time?

While the custard-yogurt mixture can be prepared ahead of time, the toast is best served fresh to maintain its crispiness. You can pre-toast the bread, but it will lose its crunch once topped with the custard.

How can I make this dessert sweeter?

Adjust the sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup to the custard-yogurt mixture. You can also drizzle more syrup on top before serving for added sweetness.

How do I store leftovers?

If you have leftovers, store the custard-yogurt mixture in the fridge, but the toast is best enjoyed fresh. The toast may lose its crunch if stored after being topped with the custard mixture.

Conclusion

Custard Yogurt Toast is a simple, delicious, and indulgent treat that adds a twist to your regular toast routine. With its creamy, tangy topping and crisp, golden bread, it’s a perfect option for breakfast, brunch, or a satisfying snack. The beauty of this recipe is in its versatility—customize it with your favorite fruits, nuts, and spices for a treat that can be tailored to your taste.
