Krispy Kreme's Original Filled, Original Kreme Doughnut is on the menu—permanently.
Krispy Kreme Is Now Making Kreme-Filled Glazed Doughnuts
Updated on Nov. 24, 2023
No one does doughnuts quite like Krispy Kreme. Who didn’t fall in love with their dessert doughnuts and adorable fruit-shaped doughnuts? But if you’re looking for something a little more classic (yet still sweet), Krispy Kreme has the ideal doughnut for you.
Krispy Kreme’s Original Filled Doughnuts are just what your mornings were missing. And they’re a permanent menu item.
This Kreme-Filled Doughnut Is Different
Doughnut enthusiasts are likely familiar with the classic, round filled doughnut, but Krispy Kreme kicked it up a notch by packing those delicious glazed doughnuts with kreme filling. To show the difference between Krispy Kreme Original Filled Doughnuts and their classic siblings, look for thin lines of chocolate or vanilla frosting on top to indicate the flavor inside.
Initially, the Original Filled Doughnuts made their debut in celebration of Apollo 11’s 50th birthday, but Krispy Kreme lovers were so taken with them, they were made a permanent menu item. Thanks, Krispy Kreme!
Watch how the classic doughnuts are made at Krispy Kreme.
