This Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding Recipe is Sinful & Delicious

Anyone for some Bread Pudding? How about if it is made with Krispy Kreme donuts?

This phenomenal dessert has evil and delicious written all over it. So, let's focus on the delicious part first. (We'll cover the evil part at the end.)

I found this recipe for "Bill Nicholson's Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding" four years ago, sans the butter rum drizzle. Thanks to Paula Deen, we are now able to enjoy our last meal on earth with a slight kick to it.

1   pinch salt
1   9 ounce box raisins
2   Eggs, beaten
2   4.5-oz cans fruit cocktail (undrained)
1   14-oz can Sweetened Condensed Milk (not evaporated)
2   dozen Krispy Kreme Donuts (or Southern Maid)
1 or 2 teaspoon cinnamon

And let's not forget the important Butter Run drizzle:

1 stick butter
1 pound box confectioner’s sugar

To make the Bread Pudding:

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

Bake at 350 degrees for about an hour until center has jelled.  Top with Butter Rum Sauce.

To make the Butter Rum Drizzle:

Melt butter and slowly stir in confectioner’s sugar.  Add Rum and heat until bubbly.  Pour over each serving of Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding.

OK, so I promised you the evil part of this wonderful dessert: One cup of this Bread Pudding is equal to 4800 calories per serving!

Now, that sounds bad...and it is. When you consider the average 180-lb man is suggested to eat no more than 1800 calories per day (without exercise), that means a 1 cup serving is three times the daily recommended consumption of food.

I will tell you from experience that this 1 cup will not stick with you for more than 2 hours. (Translation: You will be eating like a horse later, so be prepared to not step on the scale for the next three days!)
