OMG! Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding

Bread pudding by no means is a Bundt cake, but I just had to feature this one. From Paula Deen's Food Network show, Paula's Home Cooking, comes a bread pudding made with Krispy Kreme Doughnuts. OMG! This is super easy to prepare and definitely a crowd pleaser. Just save it for special occasions, you may need insulin and a cardiologist on standby.


Recipe: Bill Nicholson's Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding with Butter Rum Sacue

Recipe From: Paula Deen's Home Cooking on Food Network

Ingredients:

2 dozen Krispy Kreme Doughnuts

1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated)

2 (4.5-ounce) cans fruit cocktail (undrained)

I used the tropical fruit cocktail. I have an issue with the grapes in the traditional fruit cocktail.

2 eggs, beaten

1 (9-ounce) box raisins

1 pinch salt

1 or 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Butter Rum Sauce, recipe follows

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Cube doughnuts into a large bowl.

Pour other ingredients on top of doughnuts and let soak for a few minutes. Mix all ingredients together until doughnuts have soaked up the liquid as much as possible.

Bake for about 1 hour until center has jelled. I found the 1 hour baking time too long. I would check the bread pudding after 40 minutes. 

Top with Butter Rum Sauce.


 Butter Rum Sauce:

1 stick butter

1 pound box confectioners' sugar

Rum, to taste. I used two shots.

Melt butter and slowly stir in confectioners' sugar. Add rum and heat until bubbly. Pour over Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding, then sprinkle with cinnamon. Mmm!
