Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding with Bourbon Pecan Sauce

May 8, 2018 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 8 Comments

Good morning! How was your weekend? Did you watch the Kentucky Derby? Or did you celebrate Cinco de Mayo? I watched the Derby while drinking a Blush Lily and eating nachos. I also made an over the top dessert, Krispy Kreme donut bread pudding with a Bourbon Pecan Sauce. 

 I will warn you up front this is a very sweet dessert, after all it is made with glazed donuts but it is a delicious treat especially with the Bourbon pecan sauce. Which I might add can be used on ice cream, French toast, pound cake and whatever else you think of. I did eat a spoon or two from the jar and it is delicious that way as well. 

Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding

1 dozen stale Krispy Kreme donuts cut into 1″chunks

11/2 cups of milk

1/2 cup heavy cream

2 eggs slightly beaten

1/4 cup of brown sugar

1 tsp. vanilla

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Place donut cubes in a large bowl. In a separate bowl combine the milk, cream, sugar, eggs, vanilla, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Mix well and pour over the donuts. Let the mixture sit for at least 15 minutes. Pour into a greased or buttered 8 x8″ pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes at 350. Make sure the center is set. Serve with the Bourbon Pecan Sauce. 

Bourbon Pecan Sauce

1/3 cup butter

2/3 firmly packed light or dark brown sugar

1/3 cup of heavy cream 

1/4 tsp. cinnamon

1 tsp. vanilla extract

2 Tablespoons Bourbon

1/2 cup chopped pecans

Cook butter, brown sugar, heavy cream and cinnamon over medium heat until the mixture comes to a full boil. Stir occasionally so the mixture does not burn. Remove from heat and stir in the pecans, vanilla and the bourbon.

Bread pudding is the easiest dessert in the world and you can make it with anything, I have used bread, rolls, croissants, banana bread, brownies, cookies and anything else I have laying around. You can use whatever “custard” recipe that you have, I know that there are some that use just milk, add more eggs, use all cream or even use condensed milk. Use whatever recipe is your favorite. You can also add pecans, raisins or other dried fruit to the bread pudding you bake it. 

Have a great day!


I would love to connect with you! You can find Pine Cones and Acorns on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and Twitter.

NOTE: I made a small ramekin for the photo because I was taking the bread pudding to a friend and I did not want to give it to here with a big scoop taken out. This recipe can easily be made is small 1 person servings, I would recommend baking them in a water bath though and obviously for a shorted time.

    Who ever has stale Krispy Kreme donuts?
    The photo of this dessert has my mouth watering. That pecan sauce would be my downfall. No need for donuts.

    How DARE you post this totally insane, probably delicious, dessert, which probably has 10,000 calories. Just now as I've lost 10 pounds.

This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life through the blur of tears and sorrow. Sunday night my friend of 34 years lost her husband of 36 years, because of Covid he did not get to meet or hold his newborn grandson. Then just an hour ago we received a call that my husbands best friend died of a massive heart attack this morning. Sometimes life just knocks you to your knees and all you can do is pray for the  loved ones you’ve lost, cherish their memories and let your time with them sustain you until you meet again. Then you ask God for the strength to get up and move forward. #life #loss #givemestrength #givemestrengthlord #pray
Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping up from the ground, bright and colorful flowers in the garden center the weather and the calendar tell me otherwise. So I am hunkering down and taking solace inside enjoying the details of a collected home and life. This tapestry is a piece that we purchased over 25 years ago in Paris, it hang in the dining room and makes me smile every time I see it because it reminds me of such a happy and beautiful place. What do you collect? What brings you joy in your home? #collectedhome #collectedlook #homedecor #myhome #homesweethome #interiordesign #frenchprovincial #france #frenchdecor #tapestry #instahome #instahomedecor #acolectedlife #collection
Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. How is it in your “neck of the woods?” We took a long road-trip a few weeks ago to the beautiful @colonialwmsburg . I love this place, there is so much to see and do and even wearing masks and social distancing you can still enjoy the history and the beauty of this living museum. Today I am home doing the weekend chores, and of course doing a little baking. I hope that you have a fabulous weekend. #colonialwilliamsburg #williamsburg #colonialhouse #livinghistory #livinghistorymuseum #museum #winterfun #roadtrip #wanderlust #weekend #weekendvibes #weekendmood
