Here’s a fun and indulgent twist on classic peach cobbler using Krispy Kreme glazed doughnuts as the base. The doughnuts soak up a custard and bake with sweet, spiced peaches, giving you a rich, dessert-like cobbler.
Krispy Kreme Peach Cobbler
Serves 8–10
Ingredients
Peach Filling:
- 2 bags (about 32 oz) peach slices (fresh, canned, or thawed frozen)
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ stick (¼ cup) butter
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- Pinch of nutmeg
- 2 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water (slurry to thicken)
Custard:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- Optional: ½ tsp cinnamon
Base:
- 2 boxes Krispy Kreme Original Glazed Doughnuts, torn into pieces
Instructions
- Prepare the peaches:
- In a saucepan, combine peaches, brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook over medium heat ~10 minutes until soft.
- Thicken the filling:
- Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Make the custard:
- In a bowl, whisk together heavy cream, milk, eggs, brown sugar, and optional cinnamon.
- Soak the doughnuts:
- Tear doughnuts into pieces and briefly soak in the custard mixture (~5 minutes).
- Assemble the cobbler:
- Spread the peach mixture in a greased baking dish.
- Layer the custard-soaked doughnut pieces on top, adding extra peaches if desired.
- Bake:
- Bake at 350 °F (175 °C) for 20–30 minutes, until golden and bubbling.
- Serve:
- Enjoy warm, ideally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
✅ Tips:
- The glazed doughnuts act like a sweet “biscuit” layer that soaks up custard.
- For extra richness, sprinkle a little extra cinnamon sugar on top before baking.
If you want, I can also give a classic peach cobbler recipe without doughnuts for a lighter, more traditional version. Do you want me to do that?
