The Ultimate Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding - Mine!

I give myself 4 slices, and so do my tasters. They said it was, "Awesome! Great flavor and consistency!" One person called me the next morning for the recipe because it was on her mind and taste buds. My most discerning taster said, "Balanced. Firm yet moist. Sweet, not obnoxiously so like a KK donut can sometimes be.Two thumbs up and a Mmmmmm Mmmmm!"

This isn't quite the holy grail of BP, but it could be the holy grail of calories, so my version is "light," meaning it has less eggs, less added sugar, and no cream unlike most recipes I've seen.

Jenifer's Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding

8 (or more - that's all that survived) Krispy Kreme (or other glazed) donuts, very dry (I let mine dry out for about 2 days past the expiration date). You can bake them for 20 minutes at 200 degrees to dry them out, also.
3 eggs
1 egg yolk
1 can of sweetened condensed milk
pinch cocoa powder (baking not hot chocolate)
big pinch cinnamon
enough milk to cover the donuts (I used 1 percent)

Tear donuts into smallish pieces. Whisk together all ingredients but milk. Pour over the donuts. If donuts aren't covered, add enough milk to almost cover them. Let sit for at least 30 minutes. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.

Bananas Foster White Chocolate Bread Pudding, Yellow Porch, Nashville

I adore the Yellow Porch so I just ordered the BP. It was a lovely day; the sun was shining but it wasn't too hot. I was content. The BP was intriguing. The sauce was tasty but the flavor feint, so I suppose it was the white chocolate. It had something in it that made it grainy, and I didn't figure out what it was. It wasn't unpleasant, just mysterious. The BP itself had a good firm texture, and I liked it though the bananas could have been riper/softer. I would order it again but ask more questions.

Price: 5.99
Raisins: Mo
Sauce: Some kind, maybe white chocolate?
Ice cream: Vanilla Blue Bell is optional

Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding, Burger Up, Nashville

You can tell this is becoming a mini-obsession. Burger Up is known for its innovative burger combinations and fresh ingredients, so how Krispy Kreme BP was added to the mix, I don't know. But I went with the aforementioned friend who had had it before and was not taken with it. After tasting it, I agree. It didn't resonate or form a permanent memory other than, "OK, I checked that one off the list." I give it 2 slices because my expectations were higher. It was custardy-tasting and soft, not quite icky, in the middle.

Price: 7
Raisins: No
Sauce: Grand Marnier, not too much, not heavily flavored
Ice cream: No

Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding - the ultimate indulgence

A friend invited me over for Krispy Kreme bread pudding. I had heard of this penultimate decadence, but was too afraid to make it by myself because, of course, I'd eat it all, fall into a deep sleep, and forget to pick my daughter up from daycare. The good news was that hers flopped, though she told me it was good the next day. She did a recipe from memory/intuition, so it was too moist to set. She tried grilling it and I called the donut croquettes. So we're going to try again soon.

Last night I heard about a place here in Nashville called Burger Up, a gourmet joint that serves KK BP. I will be stopping by sometime this week to try it, so I'll know what my friend and I should be shooting for. And maybe I'll have a burger, too. Thank goodness for Zumba, biking, aerobics, P90X and whatever else I do to compensate for this particular love of mine!

Oh, yeah, I did have Whole Foods' breakfast bread pudding from the food bar and it was satisfying but not worth adding another post.
