Delightful coconut-coated bread slippers with sweet milk flavor, perfect as a quick snack or dessert for those craving a crispy, sweet treat with a hint of coconut.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut the edges off the bread and slice each piece into 4 strips.
- Pour Eagle Brand milk into a bowl.
- Roll each bread strip in the milk to coat.
- Then roll the milk-coated bread in coconut.
- Place the coated bread strips on a greased cookie sheet.
- Bake for 10 minutes at 350°F until golden.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, you can substitute the white bread with a thicker bread like challah or brioche for a richer flavor. If coconut isn't your preference, crushed nuts or even crushed graham crackers can provide a delightful texture. Make sure to coat the bread strips thoroughly in the Eagle Brand milk for a satisfying sweetness that complements the coconut, similar to the sweetness in My Mama'S Drop Cookies.
Serving Suggestions
These Cinderella Slippers make a delightful snack or dessert on their own. For an elevated presentation, serve them alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a fresh fruit salad, like Overnight Frozen Fruit Salad, for a refreshing contrast. They also pair well with a warm cup of tea or coffee for a cozy afternoon treat.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. If you want to keep them longer, refrigerate for up to a week. To reheat, place the bread strips in a 350°F oven for about 5-7 minutes to restore their crispiness without losing their texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use low-fat milk instead of Eagle Brand milk?
Eagle Brand milk is sweetened condensed milk, and using low-fat milk will change the flavor and texture significantly. If you want a lighter option, consider using a homemade version of sweetened condensed milk with regular milk and sugar, but it won't have the same richness.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the bread strips and coat them in milk and coconut ahead of time. Place them on the greased cookie sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Bake them just before serving to enjoy their crispy, fresh texture.
What can I use instead of coconut?
If you're not a fan of coconut, you can roll the milk-coated bread strips in crushed nuts like almonds or pecans for a different flavor and crunch. Alternatively, use crushed graham crackers or even sprinkles for a fun twist, keeping it adaptable to your taste.
