Chocolate Chambord Donut Bread Pudding
- Total Time: 45 minutes
- Yield: 2 servings 1x
Description
Making this Chocolate Chambord Doughnut Bread Pudding is a great way to impress. Chocolate cake donuts and Chambord pair perfectly, and your special someone will love this indulgent and playful twist on traditional bread pudding.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch Kosher salt
- 3 chocolate cake doughnuts
- 1 tablespoon Chambord liqueur
- Powdered sugar, for garnish
Raspberry Chambord Sauce
- 6 ounces frozen raspberries
- 3 tablespoons Chambord liqueur
- ½ tablespoon granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon cornstarch
- ¾ teaspoon water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine butter and sugar in a food processor just until well combined. Add egg, heavy cream, vanilla, and a pinch of Kosher salt, and blend until well combined.
- Lightly butter 2 individual ramekins. Break apart doughnuts into bite-sized pieces and tightly layer in ramekins. Pour custard mixture over the doughnuts (just until they are covered) and let soak for approximately 5-10 minutes. Place a drinking glass or similar object on top of ramekins to keep the doughnuts pieces submerged in custard mixture during this time.
- Cover ramekins with foil and bake approximately 30-35 minutes, until the custard is just set, but still soft. Remove from oven and drizzle about ½ tablespoon of Chambord (or more if you want a stronger flavor) over the top of each bread pudding. Let cool slightly.
- When ready to serve, either keep bread pudding in ramekin and serve with a side of the Raspberry Chambord sauce, or run a knife along the edge of ramekin and unmold bread pudding by inverting onto a plate. Drizzle with Raspberry Chambord sauce. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired, for garnish.
Raspberry Chambord Sauce
- In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the raspberries, Chambord, and sugar to a boil. Simmer for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until raspberries are broken down. Pour mixture through a fine mesh sieve into another small saucepan, pushing on solids to release as much sauce as possible. Return mixture to heat and simmer another 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Meanwhile in a small bowl, dissolve cornstarch in water. Slowly add cornstarch slurry into sauce, stirring constantly until it has thickened. Remove from heat and chill until ready to serve.
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Cook Time: 30 minutes

Your recipes are always so beautiful, Chris! This is the best looking bread pudding I've ever seen. I made one around Christmas but never shared it because it was flat out ugly. You executed this perfectly!
Chris
Thanks Jen! Really appreciate it 🙂 Don't you just hate when you make something that tastes awesome but it just won't cooperate in front of the camera?! Happens to me all the time!

Chris. I have never been into bread pudding but that's probably because I've never had it with DONUTS. This is the best idea everrrrrrr.

Stop it! I am catching up on your blog posts this afternoon.... It is freakin torturous. Chocolate Chambord is a delicious combo, but using Donut bread instead of normal bread is amaze.
Chris
