Ingredients:
- Peach Layer:
- 2 (16 oz) boxes of frozen peaches
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 stick Land O’ Lakes butter
- Cinnamon, to taste
- A pinch of nutmeg
- 2 Tbsp corn starch
- A little water
- Custard Mixture:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup Carnation milk
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- Cinnamon, to taste
- Doughnut Layer:
- 2 boxes of Krispy Kreme doughnuts
Instructions:
- Prep the Peach Layer:
- In a large saucepan, combine the frozen peaches, 1/2 cup brown sugar, butter, a generous sprinkle of cinnamon, and a pinch of nutmeg.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the peaches are warmed through and the sugar starts to dissolve, about 10 minutes.
- Thicken the Peach Mixture:
- In a small bowl, mix the corn starch with just enough water to create a smooth slurry.
- Gradually stir the slurry into the peach mixture. Continue to cook and stir until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Prepare the Custard Mixture:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, Carnation milk, eggs, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and a dash of cinnamon. Whisk until fully mixed and slightly frothy.
- Soak the Doughnuts:
- Cut the Krispy Kreme doughnuts into halves or quarters, depending on your preference.
- Submerge the doughnut pieces in the custard mixture, letting them soak for about 5 minutes to absorb the liquid.
- Assemble the Cobbler:
- Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
- Transfer the thickened peach mixture to a large baking dish, creating an even layer on the bottom.
- Carefully layer the soaked doughnuts on top of the peach mixture. If desired, drizzle a bit more of the custard mixture over the doughnuts or add extra peach slices for more flavor and texture.
- Bake the Cobbler:
- Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the top is slightly golden and the peaches are bubbly.
- Serving:
- Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. This dessert pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Tips:
- Variations: You can experiment by adding different spices like ginger or allspice to the peach mixture for a unique flavor.
- Serving Size: This recipe makes enough to serve about 8-10 people, making it perfect for family gatherings or potlucks.
- Storage: Leftover cobbler can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave or oven.
