Ingredients
Scale
- Leftover donuts (glazed or cinnamon preferred)
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
- Butter (for greasing the baking dish)
- Optional toppings: whipped cream, caramel sauce, powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter.
- Cut the donuts into bite-sized pieces and arrange them evenly in the greased baking dish.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until smooth.
- Pour the custard mixture evenly over the donuts, pressing down gently so they soak up the liquid. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard has set.
- Let the pudding cool slightly before serving. Optional: Top with whipped cream, caramel sauce, or powdered sugar.
Notes
Day-old donuts work best for texture. Let the donuts soak in the custard for 10-15 minutes before baking for optimal flavor absorption.
