Ingredients
Scale
- 6-8 donuts, glazed or sugar donuts stale ones work well
- ½ cup melted butter salted
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups heavy cream plus one extra tablespoon for later
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and prepare an 8×8 pan with cooking spray.
- Cut the donuts into large chunks, approximately 6-8 pieces per donut. Place them in a mixing bowl and drizzle the melted butter over the top. Gently stir to coat the donut pieces.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, 2 cups heavy cream, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Pour this mixture over the donut pieces and let it soak for 10 minutes.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The bottom will remain slightly soft.
- Allow the pudding to cool for 5 minutes before proceeding. In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar with 1 tablespoon of heavy cream until smooth. Drizzle this icing over the baked bread pudding, cut into portions, and serve warm.
Notes
Stale donuts work best for this recipe, as they absorb the custard better.
You can substitute the butter with a dairy-free alternative for a vegan option.
