Time 2h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 quart heavy cream
2 cups milk
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Pinch salt
4 whole eggs plus 7 yolks
8 stale doughnuts, flavor of your choosing
Butter, for greasing the ramekins
Frozen Berry Goo, recipe follows
One 10-ounce bag frozen mixed berries, thawed
1/2 cup cranberry juice
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons almond extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch salt

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine the heavy cream, milk, sugar, vanilla, salt, eggs and egg yolks in a large bowl. Whisk to combine.
Cut doughnuts into quarters, then soak in the mixture for 15 minutes.
Grease six 6-inch ramekins with butter. Divide the filling among the ramekins, then place the ramekins in a 9-by-13-inch pan with warm water coming halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Cover with foil, then bake for 1 hour. Remove foil and bake uncovered for 15 more minutes. Serve with Frozen Berry Goo.
Combine berries, juice, sugar, cornstarch, almond extract, cinnamon and salt in a saucepan over medium heat and cook until the berries break down and it becomes a drizzleable sauce, about 10 minutes.
