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

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Prepare Bread: Cut the day-old bread into cubes and place them in the greased baking dish.
3. Make Custard Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, coconut milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, coconut extract, and salt. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
4. Add Coconut: Gently fold in the shredded coconut into the custard mixture.
5. Combine: Pour the custard mixture over the cubed bread, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated.
6. Soak: Let the mixture sit for about 15 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the custard.
7. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 15 minutes before serving.
9. Serve: Dust with powdered sugar if desired, and serve warm.
