  • 3 dozen cherry chip donuts (stale for at least 24 hours or dried out in oven)

Mix eggs, yolks, milks, and sugar together to create custard. Add donuts and mix gently. Let sit for 45 min to 1 hour, gently folding half way through to ensure all donuts are soaked in custard. Grease a deep baking dish thoroughly and bake custard-soaked donuts at 350 for 45 min to one hour. Top with prepared Cherry Couli Sauce, Lime Cream Anglaise and Luxardo Whipped Cream.

In a bowl, whisk half of the sugar and all of yolks; set aside. In sauce pan, combine milk, remaining sugar and vanilla. Bring to slight boil, then remove from heat and mix in the yolk and sugar mix. Add back to heat and stir until reduced and able to coat back if a spoon. Remove from heat and add juice and zest from the lime. Chill before serving.

LUXARDO WHIPPED CREAM
