Krispy Kreme Doughnut Bread Pudding With Chocolate Sauce  

INGREDIENTS

  • At least 1 dozen stale glazed doughnuts (Krispy Kremes are my first choice)
  • 3 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar 
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Chocolate Sauce

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2/3 cup heavy cream

DIRECTIONS

1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2) Grease a 9x13 baking dish.

4) In a medium bowl, whisk together all the other ingredients - eggs, milk, heavy cream, brown sugar, salt, vanilla extract, and nutmeg.

5) Pour mixture over doughnuts.

6) Press doughnuts down into the liquid. Make sure they are all moistened. Let sit 10 minutes.

7) Place baking dish in oven and bake uncovered for 45 minutes.
