Here’s a simple recipe to help you recreate that sweet, peachy goodness with a Krispy Kreme twist!
Krispy Kreme Peach Cobbler
Ingredients:
- 1 box of Krispy Kreme Original Glazed Doughnuts (about 6-8 doughnuts)
- 4-5 fresh or frozen peaches, peeled and sliced (about 4 cups)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional, but adds great flavor)
- 1 tbsp cornstarch (to thicken the peach filling)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1/4 cup milk (any type will do)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (for extra flavor)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the peaches:
If using fresh peaches, peel and slice them into thin wedges. If using frozen, just thaw them slightly and drain any excess liquid. Place the peaches in a large bowl. -
Make the peach filling:
In the bowl with the peaches, add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch. Toss the peaches until they are well coated. The cornstarch will help thicken the juices as it bakes, creating that luscious peach cobbler filling. -
Prep the doughnuts:
Tear the Krispy Kreme doughnuts into chunks. You don’t need to cut them precisely, just tear them into bite-sized pieces. You should have about 6-8 doughnut pieces depending on the size of your doughnuts. -
Assemble the cobbler:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a greased 9×9-inch baking dish (or a similar-sized dish), spread the peach filling evenly across the bottom. Then, layer the torn Krispy Kreme doughnuts over the peaches. The doughnuts will soak up the juices from the peaches and make the cobbler extra rich and moist. -
Make the topping:
In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Pour this mixture over the doughnuts and peaches. This helps create a custard-like topping that will bake beautifully. -
Bake:
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the peaches are bubbling, the doughnuts have absorbed the liquid, and the top is golden brown. -
Serve:
Let the cobbler cool for a few minutes before serving. For the best experience, serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream!
Tips & Variations:
- Topping ideas: Feel free to sprinkle a little more cinnamon or a handful of chopped nuts (like pecans or almonds) on top before baking for extra crunch.
- Add more fruit: You can mix in some berries (blueberries, blackberries, or raspberries) along with the peaches for a fruity twist.
- Use a different Krispy Kreme flavor: If you’re feeling adventurous, try using a different Krispy Kreme flavor (like chocolate glazed or filled doughnuts) for a unique take on the cobbler.
This Krispy Kreme Peach Cobbler is the perfect balance of gooey, fruity goodness with a comforting doughnut texture. It’s a fun and decadent way to make peach cobbler even more indulgent! Enjoy!
