Doughnut Pudding
Doughnut pudding is the most comforting dessert you can imagine. Warm, sweet, and flavored with rum, it's always a big hit. It's like bread pudding but even better.
Ingredients
For the pudding
- Butter for the pan
- 6 cups day-old raised doughnuts, cut into 1-inch (25-mm) pieces (from 4 or so glazed doughnuts or apple fritters)
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons dark rum or 1/2 teaspoon rum extract, (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
For the icing
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 tablespoons hot water
Instructions
Make the doughnut pudding
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C). Butter a 9-by-5 inch loaf pan.
- Place the doughnuts in the loaf pan. In a bowl, whisk the eggs, rum if using, cinnamon, sugar, and vanilla until well blended. Add the milk and cream and whisk to blend. Pour the mixture over the doughnuts, turning the top pieces so that all of the doughnuts become soaked in the liquid.
- Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until the pudding is browned on top and firm in the center. Let cool for 10 minutes in the pan.
Make the icing
- While the pudding cools, whisk the icing ingredients together in a small bowl until smooth.
- Serve the pudding in thick slices, still warm, drizzled with the icing.
