👩🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Peach Filling
- In a large skillet over medium heat , combine the peach slices , brown sugar , butter , cinnamon , and nutmeg . Cook for about 10 minutes , stirring occasionally, until the peaches are tender and the mixture begins to bubble.
- In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the peach mixture to thicken the sauce. Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes , then remove from heat.
Step 2: Make the Custard Mixture
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy whipping cream , evaporated milk , eggs , brown sugar , and cinnamon until smooth and well combined.
Step 3: Soak the Doughnuts
- Cut the Krispy Kreme doughnuts into bite-sized chunks.
- Add the doughnut chunks to the custard mixture and let them soak for about 5 minutes , ensuring they absorb the custard evenly.
Step 4: Assemble the Cobbler
- Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) .
- Transfer the cooked peach mixture to a greased baking pan, spreading it out evenly.
- Arrange the soaked doughnut chunks on top of the peaches, pressing them gently into the filling. (Optional: Spread a few extra peach slices over the doughnuts for added flavor and presentation.)
Step 5: Bake
- Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes , or until the top is lightly golden and the cobbler is bubbly.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
- Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
Tips for Success
- Fresh Peaches: If using fresh peaches, peel and slice them, then toss with a bit of sugar and lemon juice before cooking to enhance their sweetness.
- Doughnut Variations: Use glazed or original Krispy Kreme doughnuts for the best results, as their soft texture absorbs the custard beautifully.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2–3 days . Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the peach filling and custard mixture a day in advance. Assemble and bake just before serving for maximum freshness.
