Well, I had a morning like that. All I could think about was eating something sweet. I looked in my fridge and saw fresh cantaloupe and passed on that. I had eaten cantaloupe for two mornings in a row for breakfast and wanted something different.
Then I saw all the blueberries in my refrigerator. I thought about having some with my cereal but that’s what I had for breakfast three days last week.
I thought about blueberry muffins and while this bread is similar to a muffin in taste it looks more like a cake because I baked it in a bundt cake pan to make it look more festive and also because I just want my bread to look different. Sometimes I get tired of my breakfast breads being in the same bread-shaped loaf or made into muffins. Besides, who says we can’t make bread in a cake pan? If there is such a rule then I’m all for breaking it. 
Anyway, I decided a blueberry glaze might be nice on my bread, but after I made it, I realized the glaze was WAY too sweet. I wanted sweet but not like that. I saw I had plenty of whipping cream in the fridge so I decided that my blueberry coconut bread would be awesome topped with blueberry cream. So I added the cream to the glaze I made and realized that was exactly what I wanted!
The cream is sweet but not overpowering. The bread itself isn’t too sweet at all, and the coconut flavor is subtle and doesn’t overpower the blueberries flavor.
If you wanted to cut back on the sugar, you could use a lot less powdered sugar…maybe only 1/2 cup. But when I make this again I’ll probably make it the same way because Kemal thought the bread and the cream was perfect just the way it was.
Anyway, I was rather pleased with my breakfast, but I ended up with way too much cream. No worries though. I’ll tell you what I did with the rest of the cream in the next post.

Here’s a picture of the blueberry bread after it cooled and I inverted it.
And after it cooled some more, I cut it, topped it with blueberry cream I made, and sprinkled it with coconut flakes, and then placed a few fresh blueberries around the plate as a garnish.
Doesn’t it look scrumptious!!
