Carefully chop the krispy kreme donuts into quarters and put them into a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
12 day-old Krispy Kreme doughnuts
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, butter, half and half, eggs, cinnamon, vanilla extract, crushed pineapple, and raisins. Pour the mixture onto the stale donut pieces and mix together well.
1 cup granulated sugar, 4 tbsp salted butter, 2 cups half and half, 2 tsp vanilla extract, 2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1 8 oz can crushed pineapple, drained, ½ cup raisins, 2 large eggs
Place the donut custard into a 9 by 13 inch baking dish and smooth into an even layer, then pour the ¼ cup heavy cream over the bread pudding. Let soak for at least an hour, but overnight is preferred.
¼ cup heavy cream
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Bake the donut bread pudding for an hour, until the tops are golden brown.
Let cool for 20-30 minutes and pour icing over top.
Serve warm.

Whisk all the icing ingredients together in a medium mixing bowl until smooth.
1 ½ cup confectioners sugar, 2 tsp vanilla extract, 3 tbsp whole milk
Pour over the cooled bread pudding before serving

Feel free to make the custard mixture up to 2 days ahead of time and store it in an airtight container in the fridge.
You’re also welcome to assemble the stale donut bread pudding up through step #2, then wrap it tightly with plastic wrap or foil. It’ll keep in the fridge for up to 2 days, or, if well-wrapped in several layers, in the freezer for up to a month. When you’re ready to serve, defrost it overnight in the fridge, then bake and glaze as directed.
If you have leftovers, let them cool completely before wrapping them well or storing them in an airtight container. They should keep in the fridge for up to 3 days, or in the freezer wrapped in plastic wrap and foil for up to a month.
