Krispy Kreme Donuts turned into a delicious moist bread pudding. Does it get any better than that?!
During the holidays my timeline on instagram was bananas. I got to see so many of my subscribers recreate my dishes ( pics coming soon!), and I snooped around to see what the celebrities were making. One celebrity in particular raved about a bread pudding that they had ordered from a local caterer. They didn’t just have a regular old fashioned bread pudding, they had a Krispy Kreme Donut Bread Pudding. Now usually, I would be in shock with the idea turning delicious Krispy Kreme original glazed donuts into a bread pudding, but I have to admit that I wasn’t. Why? Because I had been making it for while now. The very first time time that I heard of Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding was a while back, when Paula Deen made it. At that time, I thought it was such an amazing idea, and I knew that I had to try it. I loved her recipe, but I wanted to create my own. I remember her recipe having fruit in it, and that isn’t “my” thing, so I left it out. I change a few ingredients and measurement, and before I knew it- I had perfected my very own Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding!
This recipe is indeed easy. Since we’re using donuts, you don’t have to add sugar. The Krispy Kreme donuts MAKE the dish. If you don’t live close to a Krispy Kreme , you can try using original glazed donuts from your local bakery. I can’t promise you that it will be the same- But, it’s worth a try.
Here’s the recipe!

Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding Recipe
Ingredients
- 24 Krispy Kreme Original Glazed Donuts
- 2 eggs
- 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp salt
- *Baking Spray
- * 9x13 bake dish
- 8 tbsp butter
- 3 cups confectioners sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tsp rum extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven on 350 F.
- Cut or tear the donuts apart, and toss them into a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl beat two eggs, then pour in the whole milk and sweetened milk. Mix until everything is well combined, then add in the nutmeg, salt, and cinnamon. Beat the ingredients.
- Pour the egg and milk mixture over the donuts, and use a spatula to fold in the donuts. Make sure the donuts are covered with the wet mixture, then let it sit for 15 minutes to absorb the wet mixture.
- Next, spray a 9x13 bake dish with baking spray, then add the bread pudding mixture.
- Press the bread pudding down into the dish, to get rid of any air that may in the donuts.
- Bake the bread pudding for 45 minutes on 350 F.
- Remove the Krispy Kreme Donut Bread Pudding from the oven, and let it cool.
- While the pudding is cooling, make your Vanilla Rum Sauce.
- In a medium sized pot, add in 8 tbsps of butter, and place the pan over medium heat.
- Once the butter is melted, add in 3 cups of confectioner, and whisk the ingredients together.
- Next, pour in 1/4 cup milk and stir until the icing is nice and creamy.
- Add in the vanilla and rum extracts. Mix until well incorporated.
- Keep the vanilla rum sauce over very low heat until you are ready to serve.
- Once the bread pudding is warm, and safe to eat (don't burn your mouth! LOL) dish it out.
- Drizzle the vanilla rum sauce over the bread pudding, and enjoy!!

Hi rosie although this recipe looks great the sugar and carbs count will do me in. Can you please post some deserts that are healthier and require either no sugar or very little sugar and butter. I love your recipes but my health just dosent allow me to indulge anymore in the sweets and fatting foods. Any healthier ideas you can share would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

This looks awesome! I can’t wait to make it for my family!!! 🙂
Let me know how you like hun!
Hi Rosie, made this last night OMG!!!! Soooo yummy & sinful. Here in NYC it’s difficult to find Krispy Kreme donuts, but found a store in Penn Station. They only had 17 glazed left I had to substitute the other 7 with the sugar donuts, which still came out AWESOME. Thank you Rosie for this recipe, you are AMAZING.
My godmother found this recipe on Youtube. We made it together as exactly as the recipe says. It taste delicious!!! The glaze was good, but the bread pudding doesn’t need it. So the next time, we didn’t make it. Thank you for this recipe!
Hi there! I’m glad that your Godmother found the recipe! You can definitely skip the glaze. XOXO
I pinned this with OMG! Look what I found!
I am thinking there is nothing better that this.

It’s delicious, but very addictive. I only make it during the holidays. Lol
Hey Rosie ,
I have a question if I was to use regular rum do you have any suggestions on the brand and how much should I use with following the same sauce recipes.
Thanks
I always use rum extract, which can be found in the baking isle at most grocery stores. If I were to use regular rum, I’d probably use Bacardi… You can play around with it, and adjust it to your taste.
Ok great, thanks .excited to try
Hands down the best bread pudding ever! I have played around with ingredients a couple of times and it never disappoints. I’ve substituted almond exstract, added raisins, you name it, always fantastic! Thank you
Hi Harriet! So glad that you like the recipe!
Should I use salted or unsalted butter?
Try unsalted
Do you have a recipe using bread instead of donuts? I am sure this recipe is great but much too expensive for my budget. Thanks again and I love your recipes. Happy Holidays.

Not one posted, sorry 🙁
In video you state bake for 30 mins and recipe states 45 mins?
Please follow the written recipe 🙂
I just made it & it tastes like a warm honeybun!! The only things I did differently was 1/2 the recipe, use grocery store donuts & I was out of rum extract so I used almond extract. Hands down the best bread pudding ever! Will certainly remake it for the holidays!
