Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Krispy Kreme donuts
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Dark brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Rum
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it aside.
Cut the Krispy Kreme donuts into quarters and place the pieces evenly in the prepared baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Pour the milk and egg mixture evenly over the donut pieces, ensuring that all the donuts are well soaked. Let it sit for 10 minutes to fully absorb.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the pudding is set and lightly golden brown on top.
While the bread pudding is baking, prepare the rum sauce. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
Stir in the dark brown sugar and water. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens slightly, about 4-5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and whisk in the rum. Allow the sauce to cool slightly.
Once the bread pudding is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes.
Serve the bread pudding warm, drizzled generously with the rum sauce. Enjoy your decadent treat!
