White Chocolate Glazed Doughnut Bread Pudding

Happy Thanksgiving Family! I hope your lives are filled with Love and Happiness!

Today I am giving a bit of insight into one of my favorite recipes. This is my original recipe that has become quite famous over the last few years. It actually happened by accident as I was making creme brulle for another client. I had a small amount of doughnuts left over from a different party that was sitting on the counter as I was preparing the creme brulle. I thought to myself, as most adventurous chef do, what would happen if I combined these two recipes. It was kinda cool and totally awesome how this came together.

In summary, the recipe starts with scratch-made glazed doughnuts that are soaked in a white chocolate crème brûlée batter before placing the dessert in the oven. This process gives it a light burnt sugar crunch on top that gives way to an irresistible sweet custard center. Then I glaze the whole thing with caramel. I serve it with sliced strawberries, powdered sugar and more caramel. I like to top with vanilla bean ice cream to just throw it over the top.

Everyone who has ever tried it says "Oh My Gosh, this is so good. You have to send me the recipe."

I kindly reply, " My cookbook is on the way"  Look for it soon titled "Eating With Chef Sean.....cook. eat. travel.

Enjoy!
