Print Recipe

A creative and comforting holiday dessert that repurposes leftover donuts into a sweet and indulgent bread pudding.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6–8 stale or day-old donuts, torn into bite-sized pieces
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • Optional toppings: whipped cream, caramel sauce, or powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Tear or cut the donuts into bite-sized pieces and arrange them evenly in the greased baking dish.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until smooth.
  4. Pour the custard mixture over the donuts, ensuring all pieces are soaked. Press gently with a spatula or your hands to help the donuts absorb the liquid.
  5. Drizzle the melted butter over the top for extra richness.
  6. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the custard is set.
  7. Let the bread pudding cool for about 10 minutes to set before serving.

Notes

Use stale donuts for better texture. Adjust sugar based on the sweetness of your donuts. Cover with foil during baking if it looks too dry, or bake longer if too wet.
