Coconut Whip
Place coconut milk in fridge for 24 hours
Spoon out the thick coconut fat and place in a mixing bowl, leaving the liquid to use later.
Add vanilla, sugar, and cinnamon.
Mix with a mixer until lightly blended.
French Toast
Let the bread sit out for a few hours to get stale.
Place eggs, coconut milk, and spices into a bowl and whisk to create a custard.
Pour custard into a pie plate for dipping.
Dip bread slices in the custard and let sit for 30 seconds on each side.
Place bread on a drying rack for 3-4 minutes after it soaks to absorb liquid.
Heat up butter in a nonstick skillet on a medium heat.
Once the butter has a light sizzle, add the custard coated bread to the skillet and cook on one side until brown, 3-4 min. Flip and cook the other side.
Place on a plate and top with maple butter almond syrup and coconut whip.
