Recipe Instructions
-
Prepare Fruit Mixture:
- In a small bowl, combine the golden raisins and brandy. Let them stand for 30 minutes to allow the raisins to plump up and absorb the brandy flavors.
-
Prepare Pudding Mixture:
- In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, evaporated milk, half-and-half, brown sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until well combined.
-
Coat Donuts:
- Add the stale donuts (or cinnamon buns) to the egg mixture, stirring until the donuts are thoroughly coated. Allow them to soak for about 5 minutes to absorb the liquid.
-
Combine and Bake:
- Fold in the soaked fruit mixture into the donut mixture. Transfer everything into a greased 9×13 inch ovenproof dish.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 50 minutes, or until the pudding is puffed and set.
-
Rest and Prepare Sauce:
- Allow the pudding to stand for about 15 minutes to cool slightly while you prepare the sauce.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter. Add the brown sugar and Bourbon, stirring over medium heat for about 2 minutes until the sugar is completely dissolved.
-
Finish with Sauce:
- Pour in the whipping cream, stirring until the mixture is warm and well combined.
- To serve, spoon about 1/4 cup of the warm bourbon sauce over each portion of the warm pudding. Serve the remaining sauce in a small pitcher on the side for extra indulgence.
Serving Tips
- This Donut Pudding is best served warm, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully. The bourbon-infused sauce adds a luxurious touch that elevates this dessert to a special occasion treat.
Notes
- Ensure the donuts or cinnamon buns are stale for optimal absorption of the pudding mixture.
- The standing time for the fruit mixture is essential to enhance the flavors with the brandy infusion.
Enjoy the rich, comforting flavors of this Donut Pudding, perfect for cozy winter evenings or as a delightful dessert after a festive meal!
