10 Flavors of Donuts You’ve Probably Never Heard.
The Chuckles
First up, indulge in The Chuckles, a chocolate treat that combines three different types of chocolate—frosting, powder, and drizzle—with peanuts and caramel. The outcome of a candy bar and donut merger would be this.
Ring of Fire
The Ring of Fire combines spice and sweetness with cinnamon sugar, cayenne, and a garnish of dried red chili peppers. At Voodoo Doughnuts, which has stores across several states, mostly on the West Coast, it’s a staple.
Memphis Mafia
The geniuses at Voodoo Doughnuts continue the tradition by combining the finest flavors of dessert into one luscious donut, the Memphis Mafia. Fans compare this donut to Ben & Jerry’s Chunky Monkey because it has banana chunks, chocolate, and peanut butter drizzle combined with cinnamon, chocolate chips, and peanuts.
Sausage Donut
The sausage donut is made with a cocktail sausage with sliced onion and redcurrant jam sauce inside, all inside a regular donut without a hole. In early 2023, master confectioner Florian Perkmann, who is renowned for pushing the frontiers of experimentation, unveiled his unique donut sandwich.
Raspberry/Bailey’s Liqueur Berliners
German donuts packed with jelly and protruding syringes from Kreyenbuhl bakery in Switzerland celebrated the global availability of the COVID-19 vaccine in 2021 in a grand fashion. The visually arresting packaging and hollow donut flip the traditional donut on its head by letting customers “inject” their desserts before they eat it, such as raspberry or Bailey’s loaded syringes.
Pumpkin with Candied Pumpkin Seeds
Nothing says fall quite like pumpkin, and these pumpkin donuts are a gourmet version of the traditional flavor, with a beautiful crunch from candied pumpkin seeds. Peaceful Provisions is a vegan donut bakery in Beacon, New York, where you can get this seasonal creation.
Hibiscus
The cranberry-like flavor of hibiscus, which is more often found in tea, is transformed into a sweet and tart glaze by the bakers at Dough Donuts in New York City, creating the ideal artisanal donut. They then top it off with a candied hibiscus flower.
Donut Xo
Introducing the Donut Xo, a creation by three-star chef Dabiz Muñoz. The toasted buttercream filled vanilla donut with a hint of spice and a striped dark chocolate topping first appeared on the shelves of Carrefour in Spain. To add to its allure, this sophisticated donut costs just $1.69.
Pizza Donut
The Massachusetts-based Donut Villa is well-known for its contemporary take on the traditional American diner and has been modernizing the donut by adding mozzarella and marinara sauce to the top. Although some may consider it a step too far, if you’re in the Cambridge area for breakfast or supper, this delight is well worth trying.
Cereal Donut
Cereal is a common breakfast item, consumed in about 70% of American homes, according to a 2023 Civic Science poll. Nevertheless, the collision between cereal and donuts was inevitable. A classic cereal donut is a donut dipped in chocolate or vanilla frosting and topped with Lucky Charms, Fruity Pebbles, or Captain Crunch, among other cereals. The crunchy and delicious cereal sprinkles provide a nice contrast to the soft dough.
