🍑 Krispy Kreme Peach Cobbler Recipe

Description

This Krispy Kreme Peach Cobbler is the ultimate Southern-style comfort dessert with a fun twist!

It’s gooey, caramelized, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious—perfect for potlucks, holidays, or any time you’re craving a sweet indulgence.

🥘 Ingredients for Krispy Kreme Peach Cobbler

  • 8–10 Krispy Kreme glazed doughnuts (day-old works best, cut into pieces)

  • 2 (29 oz) cans sliced peaches in syrup (drained slightly, reserve some juice)

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (adjust depending on peach sweetness)

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, melted

  • 1 tbsp cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

(Optional for serving: vanilla ice cream or whipped cream)

🍴 Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

  2. Prepare peaches: In a bowl, mix drained peaches, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla. If peaches are too juicy, stir in cornstarch to thicken.

  3. Layer the cobbler:

    • Spread half the doughnut pieces in the dish.

    • Pour the peach mixture evenly over the doughnuts.

    • Top with the remaining doughnut pieces.

  4. Drizzle with melted butter on top.

  5. Bake for 35–40 minutes, until bubbly and golden.

  6. Cool slightly, then serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream.

📝 Notes

  • Use slightly stale doughnuts so they soak up the juices better.

  • Fresh or frozen peaches can replace canned—just add extra sugar if needed.

  • The cobbler gets sweeter as it bakes, so balance sugar based on how sweet your peaches and doughnuts are.

💡 Tips

  • For extra flavor, add a splash of bourbon or rum to the peach mixture.

  • To reduce sweetness, use plain cake doughnuts instead of glazed.

  • Best served warm, but leftovers can be reheated in the oven at 300°F for 10–12 minutes.

👨‍👩‍👧 Servings

  • Makes about 8–10 servings.
