Ingredients
Scale
Donut Base
- 8 Krispy Kreme Glazed Donuts, cut into quarters
Custard Mixture
- 1 ½ cups Heavy Cream
- ½ cup Coffee Creamer
- 3 Large Eggs
- ½ cup Granulated Sugar
- ¼ cup Brown Sugar
- 1 ½ tablespoons Unsalted Butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- ¾ teaspoon Cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon Nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish to ensure the pudding won’t stick.
- Arrange Donuts: Cut the Krispy Kreme glazed donuts into quarters and spread them evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating the base for the pudding.
- Mix Custard: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, coffee creamer, eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted unsalted butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until fully combined and smooth.
- Soak Donuts: Pour the custard mixture evenly over the arranged donut pieces, then gently press down to help the donuts absorb the custard fully.
- Rest: Allow the donuts to soak in the custard for 15 minutes at room temperature, ensuring the pudding will be moist throughout.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake uncovered for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the center is just set and the top takes on a golden-brown color.
- Rest and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the bread pudding rest for 5 to 10 minutes before optionally glazing or serving warm.
Notes
- You can prepare this a few hours ahead; refrigerate the soaked donuts before baking for enhanced flavor.
- For a richer pudding, substitute some of the coffee creamer with flavored creamer varieties like caramel or vanilla.
- If you prefer, add chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the custard for added texture.
- Serve with whipped cream or a drizzle of maple syrup for extra indulgence.
- Ensure not to overbake to keep the pudding moist and tender.
