Krispy Kreme Peach Cobbler is a decadent twist on a classic Southern dessert, combining the rich, buttery sweetness of Krispy Kreme doughnuts with juicy peaches and warm spices. This cobbler is irresistibly soft, with a caramelized topping that pairs beautifully with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. The doughnuts soak up the peach juices, creating a pudding-like texture that melts in your mouth. Whether served at family gatherings or as a comforting treat, this dessert is sure to impress.
Ingredients:
- 6 Krispy Kreme glazed doughnuts (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 4 cups fresh peaches (peeled and sliced, or canned peaches, drained)
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (cut into small pieces)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Peaches
If using fresh peaches, peel and slice them into thick wedges. If using canned peaches, drain the syrup and slice them into smaller pieces. Place the peaches into a large mixing bowl.
Step 2: Make the Peach Filling
In the bowl with the peaches, add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Gently toss the ingredients together to coat the peaches. If the peach mixture seems too runny, stir in the cornstarch to help thicken the filling as it bakes.
Step 3: Assemble the Cobbler
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or casserole dish. Place the sliced Krispy Kreme doughnuts in the bottom of the dish, covering it in an even layer. Pour the peach mixture over the doughnuts, spreading it out to cover them completely.
Step 4: Add Butter and Cream
Dot the top of the peach mixture with small pieces of butter. Pour the heavy cream evenly over the cobbler for added richness. You should have a slightly creamy sauce that will thicken as it bakes.
Step 5: Bake the Cobbler
Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the cobbler is golden brown and bubbly. The doughnuts will soak up some of the peach juices, creating a soft, pudding-like base.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Let the cobbler cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Scoop warm servings into bowls, and add a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for extra indulgence.
