Indulge in a comforting and delicious Krispy Kreme Donut Bread Pudding that transforms soft, sweet donuts into a rich custard dessert. This easy-to-make pudding is soaked in a creamy mixture with hints of cinnamon and vanilla, baked to golden perfection, and topped with a smooth powdered sugar glaze for an irresistible treat perfect for breakfast or dessert.

Ingredients

Bread Pudding:

  • 6–8 Krispy Kreme Donuts, cut into chunks
  • 1 cup Whole Milk
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 3 large Eggs
  • ⅓ cup Granulated Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • ½ teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • Pinch of Salt

Glaze:

  • ½ cup Powdered Sugar
  • 2–3 tablespoons Milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Mix Custard: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Arrange Donut Chunks: Place the chunks of Krispy Kreme donuts evenly into the greased baking dish, distributing them to cover the base.
  4. Pour Custard Over Donuts: Gently pour the custard mixture evenly over the donut pieces, pressing down lightly to ensure the donut chunks are fully coated and absorb the custard.
  5. Soak: Let the mixture sit for 10 to 15 minutes to allow the donuts to soak up the custard blend, which helps achieve a rich texture.
  6. Bake: Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the pudding turns golden brown and the center is set but still slightly soft to the touch.
  7. Prepare Glaze: While the bread pudding is baking or cooling slightly, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk in a separate bowl until smooth and well combined to create a sweet glaze.
  8. Drizzle and Serve: Once the bread pudding is warm, drizzle the prepared glaze over the top and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • You can adjust the amount of cinnamon based on your preference for spice intensity.
  • Letting the dough soak longer can result in a more custardy texture but be careful not to let it become too soggy.
  • Use fresh Krispy Kreme donuts for the best flavor and texture; stale donuts might not soak as well.
  • This bread pudding tastes great served warm but can also be refrigerated and enjoyed cold the next day.
  • Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent dessert experience.
