Ingredients

For the Cobbler

• 12 Original Glazed Krispy Kreme doughnuts, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 2 (15-ounce) cans sliced peaches, drained, or 5–6 fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, optional
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 4 large eggs
• 1½ cups whole milk
• ½ cup heavy cream
• Pinch of salt

Optional Topping

• 2 tablespoons coarse or granulated sugar
• Light dusting of cinnamon
• Powdered sugar, for serving

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven.
   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
2. Layer the doughnuts and peaches.
   Spread half of the chopped doughnut pieces evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Arrange half of the sliced peaches over the doughnuts. Repeat with the remaining doughnut pieces and peaches.
3. Prepare the custard.
   In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, melted butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
4. Add the custard.
   Slowly pour the custard mixture evenly over the doughnut and peach layers. Gently press the doughnut pieces down with the back of a spoon to help them absorb the custard.
5. Let it soak.
   Allow the mixture to rest for 15–20 minutes. This gives the doughnuts enough time to absorb the custard, creating a rich and tender texture after baking.
6. Add the topping.
   Sprinkle the top with coarse or granulated sugar and a light dusting of cinnamon, if desired.
7. Bake.
   Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown. You should see the peach juices bubbling gently around the edges.
8. Cool before serving.
   Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for 10–15 minutes. This allows the custard to finish setting while keeping the inside soft and creamy.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this peach cobbler warm with your favorite toppings, such as:

• Vanilla ice cream
• Freshly whipped cream

Storage

Store leftover cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

To reheat individual portions, microwave for approximately 30–45 seconds, or until warmed through. You can also reheat the entire dish in a 325°F (165°C) oven until hot.

Tips for the Best Krispy Kreme Peach Cobbler

• Use Original Glazed doughnuts: Their soft texture and sweet glaze allow them to absorb the custard beautifully.
• Choose ripe peaches: Fresh, ripe peaches provide the best flavor when they are in season.
• Add some crunch: Stir in a handful of chopped pecans or walnuts for added texture.
• Make it extra rich: Drizzle a little melted butter over the top before baking.
• Try almond extract: Replace part of the vanilla extract with a small splash of almond extract for a subtle flavor that pairs especially well with peaches.
• Don’t skip the resting time: Allowing the doughnuts to soak in the custard helps create the soft, creamy texture that makes this dessert so irresistible.
