Donut Bread Pudding

Donut bread pudding is a decadent breakfast or dessert dish made with day old donuts soaked in a rich cinnamon vanilla custard.  Once baked, top with powdered sugar and jam.

Preheat the oven to 325 F (160 C). Cut each donut into 8 cubes. Bake the donut pieces for about 20 minutes or until the cubes are dried out. Alternatively leave the donuts out overnight to dry out.

Step 1:  

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs. Whisk in the sugar, milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, salt and cinnamon and nutmeg (if using) until well combined.

Step 2:  

Add the cubed donut pieces. Gently mix the doughnuts into the spiced custard. Allow the bread pudding mixture to rest and soak in the vanilla custard for about 30 minutes.

Step 3:  

Preheat the oven to 350 F (177 C) for about 30 minutes. Add the soaked donuts to the prepared baking dish.

Step 4:  

Bake the donut bread pudding  for 50 - 60 minutes. The center should be puffed up as high as the sides. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs.

Step 5:  

Cool the bread pudding for about 15 - 20 minutes.

Step 6:  

Top the bread pudding with powdered sugar and jam if you like.
