Step 1

Arrange the doughnuts and bread in the bottom of a lightly greased 2-quart baking dish.

Step 2

Beat the milk, cream and eggs in a large bowl until well blended. Add the sugar, orange zest, cinnamon and vanilla. Whisk until homogenous.

Step 3

Pour the liquid mixture over the bread cubes in the baking dish and let stand until the liquid is absorbed, about 1 hour. (You can freeze the casserole at this stage for up to 1 month. Defrost in the refrigerator overnight before baking, or cook directly from the freezer in a 325º oven, covered with aluminum foil, for 65 to 75 minutes.)

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Bake until the center is just set, 50 to 55 minutes. Cool slightly before serving. Top with maple syrup and fresh berries.
