Helpful Tips for Making Krispy Kreme Doughnut Bread Pudding Recipe

• When making any bread pudding, day old bread or in this case doughnuts, is ideal and this bread pudding is no exception. Slightly stale or day old doughnuts will work perfectly.
• The glaze from the doughnuts lends a prominent flavor to the bread pudding making it ideal for serving warm with a scoop of ice cream.
• Should you prefer, the buttered rum sauce can be made in advance and reheated for serving.
• You may also prefer a drizzle of caramel or warmed dulce de leche if there's no time to make the buttered rum sauce.
• You can fully assemble this in advance cover and chill overnight or for several hours until baking. When chilled, allow 15 minutes or so on the counter to warm to room temperature and adjust the baking time, if needed.
