Ingredients
- 8 Slightly Stale Jam Filled Doughnuts
- 120 g Strawberry or Raspberry Jam , to match the doughnut jam
- 150 ml Double Cream
- 300 ml Milk
- 2 Eggs
- 30 g Caster Sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- Icing Sugar For Dusting , optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F)
- Take the slightly stale jam-filled doughnuts and slice them horizontally. Arrange a layer of the slices on the bottom of an ovenproof dish, ensuring the surface is covered.
- Spread a generous amount of jam over the first layer of doughnuts. Then, arrange another layer of sliced doughnuts on top of the jam-covered layer.
- Once again, spread jam over the second layer and finish by adding a final layer of doughnuts on top.
- In a saucepan, gently heat the milk and double cream over low heat. Be sure not to let the mixture boil.
- Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, caster sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Slowly pour the warm milk and cream mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to ensure the ingredients are fully combined without curdling.
- Carefully pour the custard mixture over the layered doughnuts in the dish, making sure all the doughnuts are soaked. Gently press down on the doughnuts to help them absorb the liquid.
- Let the dish sit for 10-15 minutes, allowing the doughnuts to soak up the custard.
- Place the dish into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 45 minutes, or until the pudding is set and golden on top.
- Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool and set for about 5-10 minutes before dusting with icing sugar.
- Serve warm.
Recipe Notes
-
Key Points: Ensure the doughnuts are slightly stale to absorb the custard mixture effectively. Fresh doughnuts may become soggy and not hold their shape well.
- Alternative Jam: Substitute with other flavours of jam such as apricot or blackberry for different variations.
- Storage Suggestions: Store leftover pudding in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.
- Flavour Variations: For added flavour, mix a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg into the custard mixture. You can also add a handful of fresh or frozen berries between the layers of doughnuts for extra fruitiness.
