Ingredients
For the Peach Mixture:
- 2 bags of frozen peach slices
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) Land O’Lakes butter
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- Water (to mix with cornstarch)
For the Custard Mixture:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup Carnation milk (evaporated milk)
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For the Cobbler:
- 2 boxes Krispy Kreme doughnuts
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Peach Mixture
- Cook Peaches: In a large saucepan, combine the frozen peach slices, 1/2 cup brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, and a pinch of nutmeg. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peaches are soft and the mixture is bubbling.
- Thicken Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a little water to create a slurry. Add the cornstarch mixture to the peaches and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened. Remove from heat.
Step 2: Prepare the Custard Mixture
- Mix Custard: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy whipping cream, Carnation milk, eggs, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and cinnamon until well combined.
Step 3: Prepare the Doughnuts
- Cut Doughnuts: Cut the Krispy Kreme doughnuts into bite-sized pieces.
- Soak Doughnuts: Place the doughnut pieces into the custard mixture and let them soak for about 5 minutes, ensuring they absorb the custard.
Step 4: Assemble the Cobbler
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
- Layer Peaches: Transfer the cooked peach mixture to a baking pan, spreading it out evenly.
- Add Doughnuts: Place the soaked doughnut pieces on top of the peach mixture. Do not pour the remaining custard mixture over the doughnuts.
Step 5: Bake the Cobbler
- Bake: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the doughnuts are golden and the cobbler is heated through.
Step 6: Serve
- Serve Hot: Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy this delicious and indulgent Krispy Kreme Peach Cobbler warm. 😊
Cooking Notes and Tips
- Peaches: You can use fresh or canned peaches if preferred. Adjust the cooking time as needed.
- Doughnuts: Ensure the doughnuts are cut into even pieces to allow for even soaking and baking.
- Custard: The custard mixture should be rich and thick, so make sure to whisk it well.

Spiced Rum Cobbler
