This is delicious and you can make it at home. I came across the recipe on Leite’s Culinaria, which is a food-and-cooking destination which I recommend to you with enthusiasm and pleasure. There you’ll find excellent writing, superb and varied recipes, gorgeous photographs, opinions, ideas, and all-around food fun. My friend Jess Thomson has written a new book for fall: “Hand-Forged Doughnuts: Secrets and Recipes for the Home Cook”, based on the delectable creations at Top Pot Doughnuts in Seattle, where Jess resides, cooks, and writes. I was headed out to the first regular meeting of a new local organization, Culinary Historians of Piedmont North Carolina, and the photo drew me in while the simple-to-make recipe called out, “This will work!” I was off to the grocery store to grab a box of Krispy Kreme doughnuts, milk, and eggs. The pudding was simple, speedy, and super-loved by one and all. Served many people due to its rich goodness.
Jess’s writing and recipes on her blog, “Hogwash”, are better than the doughnut bread pudding, and you can sign up to get her posts in your e-mail inbox, as I do. Here are links which you can paste into your browser, in order to find the recipe, Jess’s blog post about the book, and info about Top Pot Doughnuts in Seattle, and where to buy the book. Keep it sweet, now….

This looks deadly delicious. Must try.

T’was mighty tasty and popular, Diane. Great little covered-dish take-along on a busy day, and it would actually work fine with most any kind of doughnut, not just Krispy Kreme’s. Being a North Carolina native and having them handy at the grocery store, that’s the way I rolled. I think pumpkin doughnuts would be mighty fine.
But I meant to say, yes to delicious, no to “deadly”, unless you made a habit of it. And sweets like this live on my “splurge” list, not my daily-bread routine… 🙂
Using these homemade donuts would probably fare better than Krispy Kremes…even though Krispy Kremes are soooo good. 🙂 It’s the kind of dessert that you can also have for breakfast, and no one will say no to that. Cut up a few slices!
Eggs; milk; bread-like entity; yep, that passes the breakfast test. Bacon on the side? Check. But I am sticking to my bowl o’ cereal with bananas routine, and saving the splurges for now-and-then. Leftovers could be breakfast, but is The Duo surprised that there were no leftovers to bring home after the Culinary Historians meeting? None. It must have had historical significance.
I would love the cookbook and recipes to make my own fabulous donuts (this from a donut freak) but Krispy Kreme donut bread pudding kind of scares me… how sweet is this? I am intrigued, though, and certainly would not say not to a plateful. Really.
It is very very very sweet. But in a good way, for a once-in-a-while treat. Perfect for that occasional potluck, where you want something very tasty that feeds many and takes little time. And not typical of the cookbook, in that it is a book about making doughnuts, by an excellent writer of prose and recipes — this is the “quickster” recipe that helps get the word out that this cool new book is in the world. Check Jess’s blog “Hogwash” — she’s an extraordinary read.
Wow! This foods looks tasty! :))
Oh boy, no wonder I don’t buy donuts! When I buy them I have to eat them! This looks yummy Nancie!
Many thanks, Kariann, it was extremely delicious and crowd-pleasing, while being extremely delicious to make. For that once-in-a-while sure-thing party dish, it’s ideal.
Great idea! Thanks for sharing.
So glad this catches your fancy. Ideally one uses left-over doughnuts, but I’m here to testify that even with freshly-made ones, it worked wonderfully, and speedy quick. Serves lots of people, even though it’s one loaf pan, cause it’s luscious, that’s why. Happy cooking to you.
