Krispy Kreme Coronation doughnuts: Berry Bakewell and Kings Trifle

Krispy Kreme always have doughnuts for every occasion and this time it was for the Coronation which definitely appealed to me without hesitation to buy.
The Coronation doughnuts were: Berry Bakewell, with raspberry filling and almond Kreme, iced and adorned with a glace cherry. Lemon short bread, dipped in smooth lemon icing, with a swirl of vanilla frosting and shortcake biscuit pieces. Last but not least, the Kings Trifle with a strawberry and custard filling.
Visually, the Kings Trifle was the best with a bright purple icing topped with a crown so I tried this one first.
As always, the icing on top is rather sweet and some doughnuts can be quite oily so it depends which branch you get it from.
Apart from that, the custard and strawberry filling was quite nice.
The Berry Bakewell again was the same, the icing overpowers everything so I devoured it in a messy way by eating the bottom and the filling to taste the it properly.
The filling was interesting, as they used almond butter along with some raspberry jam so it doesn't taste like the typical almond frangipane style bakewell but it was nice.

Low calorie and low sugar doughnuts to brighten up your day

From sunshine coast of Brighton, Urban Legend branches to East Croydon with their low calorie and low sugar doughnuts.
You will find them in a shipping container that is barbie pink inside just outside the station at Boxpark.
Their colourful doughnuts and fun flavours are for everyone.
All their doughnuts are steamed to cut the fat and they use ingredients found in roots, pears and melons which work as sugars.
To make them colourful, they use safflower and beetroot which are 100% natural.
Currently there are nine flavours: Glazy Days, Berry unbelievable, Bubblegum Burst, Forbidden Forest, Sunny Jim, Belgian Biccie, Monkey's Uncle, Fool's Gold and Choc Party.
All these doughnuts are under 153 calories or less and taste fantastic.
My favourites are Fool's gold which is basically caramel and Choc Party.
They have a lovely texture just like traditional doughnuts which have a nice chew like a gentle bagel and you won't find them oily as they are steamed.
Overall, I would definitely recommend these doughnut and would love to see the pop up in Central London as well.

Sainsburys Strawberry Jam & Cream doughnuts

I love cream donuts so this time I got Sainsburys Strawberry Jam & Cream doughnuts which has strawberry jam and fluffy sweetened cream.
They were simple yet extremely delicious because the donut was pillowy and a bit like bread without any rancid flavours.
Overall, it was so delicious with the fluffy sweetened cream and jam that I ended up eating two in one go.

Morrisons Christmas Star Donuts review

I made a special trip to Morrisons because of the Christmas Star Donut as it was star shaped.
When I saw it, I was a bit disappointed because it was put in the wrong box as it was squished into a muffin box.
Photos posted by others showed that it was laying flat in a different box which is the one they use for cinnamon swirls and Chelsea buns.
As I came all the way for it, I just had to get it.
The star shape could have been better, as for the taste the cherry strawberry jam was quite nice and the doughnut was soft and fluffy.
Overall, it was nice but I wish it was prettier!

[Review] Morrisons Raspberry Filled Iced Donuts

I rarely buy these filled ice donuts because they are not the same as the yeasty fried ones coated in sugar.
These donuts are somehow cakey and have these signature holes at the base where they have been injected with filling.
I was given one of these which were from Morrisons and didn't have any expectation because the icing for these donuts are also different in the sense they are waxy like chocolate.
The overall taste was not as bad as expected and the jam was quite punchy but the texture of this donut was dry and crumbly.

Morrisons Gingerbread donuts review (doughnuts)

I love donuts and Morrisons have done it again with these new gingerbread donuts for 2020 which are vegan.
As expected the gingerbread donut was so moreish that I woofed down two in one go.
The filling was really sweet because of the cinnamon notes and I think I tasted some other spices like nutmeg and cloves.
Definitely worth trying but the ginger is weak for ginger lovers.
