Creating Coconut Cheesecake Bread Pudding is simple if you follow these clear steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Prepare the Bread: Place the bread cubes in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, whole milk, granulated sugar, cream cheese, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
4. Combine: Pour the mixture over the bread cubes, gently folding to ensure all pieces are well coated.
5. Add Coconut: Fold in the shredded coconut, making sure it’s evenly distributed throughout the bread mixture.
6. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the bread mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
7. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted comes out clean.
8. Cool: Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 15-20 minutes before serving.
9. Serve: Cut into squares and serve warm, optionally topped with whipped cream.
