Description

This Easy Doughnut Pudding is a delightful dessert that transforms stale jam-filled doughnuts into a luscious layered pudding. Combining the fruity sweetness of jam with a creamy custard soak, it’s baked until golden and set, making the perfect comforting treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

For the Doughnut Layers

  • 8 Slightly Stale Jam Filled Doughnuts
  • 120 g Strawberry or Raspberry Jam (to match the doughnut jam)

For the Custard

  • 150 ml Double Cream
  • 300 ml Milk
  • 2 Eggs
  • 30 g Caster Sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

To Finish

  • Icing Sugar For Dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) to prepare for baking the pudding.
  2. Prepare Doughnuts: Slice the slightly stale jam-filled doughnuts horizontally, then arrange a layer of the slices on the bottom of an ovenproof dish to fully cover the surface.
  3. Layer with Jam: Spread a generous amount of strawberry or raspberry jam over the first layer of doughnuts, enhancing the fruity flavor.
  4. Repeat Layers: Add another layer of sliced doughnuts over the jam, then spread more jam on top. Finish with a final layer of doughnuts.
  5. Heat Milk and Cream: In a saucepan, gently warm the milk and double cream over low heat without boiling to prepare for the custard.
  6. Mix Egg Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, caster sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and combined.
  7. Combine Custard Ingredients: Slowly pour the warm milk and cream mixture into the egg mixture while whisking continuously, preventing curdling.
  8. Pour Custard Over Doughnuts: Carefully pour this custard mixture over the layered doughnuts in the baking dish, pressing gently to soak all the doughnuts thoroughly.
  9. Soak: Let the dish sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the doughnuts to absorb the custard evenly.
  10. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes until the pudding is set and has a lovely golden top.
  11. Cool and Dust: Remove from the oven and allow to cool and set for 5-10 minutes, then dust with icing sugar if desired.
  12. Serve: Serve the pudding warm for the best flavor and texture experience.

Notes

  • Using slightly stale doughnuts is ideal as they absorb the custard better without becoming too soggy.
  • Choose jam flavor that complements or matches the jam inside the doughnuts for harmonious taste.
  • Ensure the milk and cream are warm, not boiling, before mixing with eggs to prevent scrambling.
  • This pudding can be served with a dollop of whipped cream or fresh berries for extra indulgence.
