A decadent and comforting Krispy Kreme Donut Bread Pudding that transforms soft, sweet donuts into a rich custardy dessert. This easy-to-make bread pudding is soaked in a creamy vanilla and cinnamon custard, baked until golden, and finished with a smooth powdered sugar glaze for an irresistible treat perfect for brunch or dessert.

Ingredients

Donut Base

  • 6–8 Krispy Kreme Donuts, cut into chunks

Custard Mixture

  • 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 Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  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 cut donut pieces evenly into the prepared baking dish, spreading them out for uniform soaking and baking.
  4. Pour Custard Over Donuts: Carefully pour the custard mixture over the donut chunks, using a spatula or spoon to gently press down and ensure all pieces absorb the custard. Let the mixture sit for 10–15 minutes to allow the donuts to soak up the liquid.
  5. Bake: Bake the bread pudding in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set without wobbling.
  6. Prepare Glaze: While the pudding is baking, whisk together the powdered sugar and 2–3 tablespoons of milk in a separate bowl until smooth and pourable.
  7. Glaze and Serve: Once the bread pudding is warm and slightly cooled, drizzle the glaze evenly over the top. Serve immediately for a warm, gooey dessert experience.

Notes

  • Letting the donut chunks soak in the custard mixture for at least 10 minutes helps achieve a moist, custardy texture.
  • You can adjust the amount of powdered sugar and milk in the glaze to your desired consistency, making it thicker or thinner.
  • Use classic glazed Krispy Kreme donuts for the best flavor, but feel free to experiment with other donut flavors.
  • This bread pudding is best served warm but can be reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
