Ingredients
- 12 glazed donuts like Krispy Kreme
- 4 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
For Butter Sauce:
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your baking dish lightly. This prevents sticking and makes serving easier.
Prepare the Donuts
- Cut the glazed donuts into small pieces. Place them evenly in the baking dish. This will form the base of the pudding.
Make the Custard
- In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, cream, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Combine Donuts and Custard
- Pour the custard mixture over the donut pieces. Press gently so donuts soak up the liquid evenly.
Let It Soak
- Allow the mixture to rest for 10 minutes. This helps donuts absorb custard and become soft and flavorful.
Bake the Pudding
- Place the dish in the oven. Bake for 40–45 minutes until the top is golden and center is set but soft.
Prepare Butter Sauce
- In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add sugar and cream. Stir until smooth and slightly thickened.
Add Vanilla to Sauce
- Remove sauce from heat and stir in vanilla extract. This adds a rich aroma and enhances flavor.
Pour Sauce Over Pudding
- Once pudding is baked, pour warm butter sauce over the top. Let it soak slightly before serving.
Serve Warm
- Serve the bread pudding warm. Enjoy the soft, sweet and gooey texture with rich buttery flavor.
Notes
- Use fresh donuts for best texture
- Add raisins or nuts for extra flavor
- Try chocolate glazed donuts for a twist
- Do not overbake or pudding may dry out
- Add a pinch of nutmeg for warm flavor
- Serve with ice cream for extra indulgence
- Use less sugar if donuts are very sweet
