How To Make Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding?

1. Prepare Doughnuts: Cut each doughnut into 5 or 6 pieces and place in a greased 9×13-inch (or slightly smaller) baking dish.
2. Mix Custard: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, brown sugar, salt, vanilla extract, and nutmeg.
3. Combine and Rest: Pour the custard mixture over the doughnuts. Press down on the doughnuts to help them absorb the liquid. Let sit for 10 minutes.
4. Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the baking dish in the oven, uncovered, and bake for 45 minutes, until the pudding is set and golden on top.
5. Make Chocolate Sauce: Place chocolate chips in a small bowl. In a small saucepan, bring the heavy cream to a boil, then pour it over the chocolate chips. Let sit for 15 seconds, then stir until smooth.
6. Serve: Serve the bread pudding warm, drizzled with chocolate sauce.

Recipe Tips:

• Use Stale Doughnuts: Stale doughnuts soak up the custard better, giving the pudding a richer texture. If your doughnuts are fresh, leave them out overnight to dry.
• Press Doughnuts into Custard: After pouring the custard mixture, press the doughnuts down to help them fully absorb the liquid, resulting in a moist and flavorful pudding.
• Let the Pudding Rest: Allow the pudding to rest for at least 10 minutes before baking. This step helps the flavors meld and ensures an even texture.
• Serve Warm for Best Flavor: This bread pudding tastes best when served warm, as the chocolate sauce is smooth and melts over the top, adding to the dessert’s richness.
• Customize with Add-Ins: Try adding raisins, chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon to give the bread pudding extra flavor and texture.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: First, let the leftover Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding cool to room temperature. Then, cover it tightly with plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
• Freeze: Allow the bread pudding to cool completely, then wrap it securely in plastic wrap and aluminum foil, or store it in a freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 2 months. To thaw, transfer it to the refrigerator overnight.
• Reheat: Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Place the bread pudding in an oven-safe dish and cover it with aluminum foil to prevent it from drying out. Heat for about 10-15 minutes or until warm.
