Ingredients: – 1 package (8-10) of glazed donuts (preferably day-old or slightly stale) – 1/2 cup melted butter – 1/2 cup strawberry jam or preserves – 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar – 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract – 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon – 2 large eggs – 1/4 cup heavy cream – 1/4 cup milk
Instructions: 1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the Donuts: Tear the glazed donuts into pieces and place them in a greased 9-inch pie dish. You can also slice them into smaller chunks to spread evenly in the dish.
Make the Filling: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Add the melted butter and strawberry jam to the mixture and whisk until fully combined.
Combine Donuts and Filling: Pour the wet mixture over the donut pieces, pressing down gently so the donuts absorb the liquid. Let it sit for about 10-15 minutes to allow the donuts to soak.
Add Fresh Strawberries: Sprinkle the chopped fresh strawberries evenly over the top of the donut mixture for a burst of freshness.
Bake the Pie: Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. You can test by inserting a knife into the center – it should come out clean.
Cool and Serve: Let the pie cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of additional strawberry jam for extra flavor.
