Coconut Cream Bread...

 8 oz Cream Cheese

 1/2 C Butter

 1 1/2 C Sugar

 2 Eggs

 2 1/4 C Flour

 1 tsp Salt

 1 Tbsp Baking Powder

 1 C Coconut Milk

 1 tsp Vanilla

 2 Tbsp Shredded coconut (optional)

Combine cream cheese and butter, cream well.  Add sugar and beat until fluffy.  Add eggs, flour, baking powder, salt, milk and vanilla.  Mix well. Stir in coconut if wanted.  Spray 2 loaf pans or 6 mini loaf pans or 1 bundt pan.  Bake at 375 degrees for 50 minutes (large pans) or 35 minutes (small pans).  Or until toothpick comes out clean.  Cool in pan for 10 minutes and remove to wire rack to finish cooling. 

 

Variations:  Orange Cream Bread.  Substitute 1 C Orange Juice for Coconut milk. Orange Zest for shredded Coconut.   After 10 minutes of cooling, pour 1/4 C Orange juice over top of bread to soak in.  Or glaze with a light citrus glaze...

 

Oh my goodness... A Pintrest find, listed as Orange Cream Bread, I altered it to Coconut Cream. Next time I'll try a pineapple glaze for a "pina colada" twist.  1/4 C Pineapple Juice & 1 C Powdered Sugar. This is EASY & DELICIOUS.  Soooo good!
