Here’s the legendary, indulgent dessert everyone goes wild over — Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding. It’s rich, custardy, and ridiculously easy. 🍩✨
Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding
Ingredients (Serves 6–8)
- 8–10 Krispy Kreme glazed donuts (day-old works best), cut into chunks
- 3 large eggs
- 1½ cups heavy cream (or half-and-half)
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- Optional: pinch of nutmeg or salt
Instructions
1. Preheat Oven
- Preheat to 350°F / 175°C
- Butter a baking dish (9×9 or similar)
2. Assemble
- Place donut pieces evenly in the baking dish
3. Make the Custard
- In a bowl, whisk eggs, cream, milk, sugar, butter, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg
4. Pour & Rest
- Pour custard over donuts
- Gently press donuts down
- Let sit 10–15 minutes so everything soaks in
5. Bake
- Bake 35–40 minutes, uncovered
- Top should be golden and center just set
Optional Toppings (Highly Recommended)
- Warm vanilla glaze (powdered sugar + milk + vanilla)
- Caramel sauce
- Whipped cream
- Fresh berries
Why This Is Dangerous
- The glaze melts into the custard
- Donuts create a soft, cake-like texture
- Sweet enough that it doesn’t even need syrup (but people add it anyway)
Make-Ahead Tip
Assemble the night before, refrigerate, then bake fresh in the morning — perfect for brunch or holidays.
If you want, I can also give you:
• a slow-cooker version
• a chocolate-chip upgrade
• or a bourbon vanilla glaze
Just say the word 🍩🔥
