Krispy Kreme Donut Bread Pudding (TikTok)

Viral Krispy Kreme bread pudding (also known as Krispy Kreme breakfast casserole) is a TikTok Trend that brings the sweetness and sugary goodness of a donut to the old fashioned and classic taste of a bread pudding recipe. Bread pudding is aptly called bread pudding because it combines a bread source (in this case donuts as the bread), cream and eggs. However, this recipe is just as much a Donut Breakfast Casserole and is even more satisfying than French Toast Breakfast Casserole. And with so many flavored donuts out there available, once you have mastered the original Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding (breakfast casserole) recipe, its fine to mix it up and try with other kinds. Plus, day old donuts work great because they are re-softened in the oven with all of the cream. Left over donuts just transform into perfection. Imagine the kids faces when they see that you made an entire breakfast from donuts! This may not be grandmas bread pudding but its a comfort food in the viral TikTok making and is truly the BEST bread pudding recipe ever. Smother with Nutella, chocolate, or caramel to really load up the sugary topping.
