7 Ingredients
* 12 bought cinnamon doughnuts, cut in half horizontally
* 600g carton vanilla custard

* 1 lemon, rind finely grated

4 Method / Steps
Step 1
Arrange 8 doughnut bases, cut-side down, over the base of a 5cm-deep, 24cm round baking dish, trimming doughnut bases to fill any gaps, if necessary.
Step 2
Place custard, milk and lemon rind in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes or until the mixture just comes to a boil. Pour half the custard mixture over the doughnut bases. Reserve half the lemon curd. Dollop teaspoons of the remaining curd over the custard mixture.
Step 3
Place 2 doughnut tops on top of each other, cut-side down, in the centre of the dish over the custard. Arrange the remaining doughnut tops, cut-side down, over the custard, overlapping slightly in a circle around the doughnuts in the centre. Pour the remaining custard mixture over the doughnuts. Set aside for 30 minutes to soak.
Step 4
Preheat oven to 180C/160C fan-forced. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden. Set aside for 5 minutes to cool slightly. Dust with icing sugar and drizzle over the remaining lemon curd. Serve with ice cream.
