Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces day-old jelly doughnuts
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or similar-sized casserole dish.
Cut the jelly doughnuts into large bite-sized pieces and arrange them evenly in the prepared baking dish.
In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk and heavy cream. Warm the mixture over medium-low heat until just steaming, but do not allow it to boil. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until fully combined.
Gradually pour the warmed milk and cream mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from cooking. This will create the custard base.
Slowly pour the custard mixture over the doughnut pieces in the baking dish, making sure all the pieces are evenly soaked. Allow the mixture to sit for about 10 minutes so the doughnuts fully absorb the liquid.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the pudding is set and the top is golden brown. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
Remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Dust with powdered sugar just before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Jelly Doughnut Pudding!
