Ingredients
- I used large mugs that held 1 and 1/2 cups of liquid.
For the Bread Pudding
- 4 donuts one day old, torn into 1-inch pieces
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons whole milk heavy cream or half & half can be used
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
For the Sauce
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter salted or unsalted (your preference)
- 1 tablespoon Bourbon
- 2 teaspoons heavy whipping cream whole milk would also work but not be as rich
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- pinch salt
Instructions
For the bread pudding
- Preheat the oven to 350.
- Spray two 8-ounce coffee mugs (or small ramekins) lightly with cooking spray.
- Tear donuts into 1-inch pieces.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla. (Add any other stir-ins you prefer.)
- Add the donuts to the bowl with the eggs and milk and stir well.
- Divide the mixture between two mugs.
- Place the mugs on a small baking sheet, and bake for 30-35 minutes. The mixture will puff up and rise slightly.
- Serve with a caramel or chocolate and whipped cream or ice cream.
- Be careful the mugs will be really hot.
For the sauce
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, stir together all the sauce ingredients.
- Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently. Remove from the heat. The sugar should be dissolved.
- After the bread pudding mugs are removed from the oven, the sauce will absorb better if you'll take a knife and run it around the edges then pour the hot sauce over the bread pudding.
- For any leftover sauce, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a few days.
- optional: 2 tablespoon blueberries, chopped dates, raisins, or other fruit, nuts, or chocolate chips
- optional: serve with a drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce and whipped cream or ice cream
