Now that these doughnuts are on my rader, I am slowly working ym way through the menu. Because we all know I am thorough! There is also the benefit with these doughnuts of being able to buy multipacks, so it felt only right to try a few of them.
I have mentioned before that I find Biscoff to be quite an overpowering taste. It is delicious but it is very strong, and it is also a very common favourite of brands to use Biscoff spread in desserts. I can’t say why this is, other than the simple fact that Biscoff does taste amazing and it is hard to make a dessert badly with Biscoff – an overpowering flavour is still flavour, so is likely an easy win for many chefs. This doughnut is no different, however I was pleased to see that they have toned down the Biscoff flavouring a little bit so that it is not so overpowering and instead, a subtle sweetness to the doughtnut itself. The filling inside is creamy and light, and has that subtle Biscoff flavour without being too strong, which I very much enjoyed. The only real downside is that this doughnut had way too much filling in it – one bite in and it is already spilling out, so this is definitely a very messy eating experieince. Luckily, I was at home when I tried this, so had the benefit of a plate, but I would have ended up looking a right mess had I tried to eat this out in public.
The doughnut itself is a sweet base, but it is light and fluffy and compliments the inner filling really nicely. This doughntut overall was delicious, and a very light treat despite the fact that it is actually half the size of my head. I definitely thought I was going to be sent into sugar shock when I first saw this, but it is far more subtle in its flavours than it looks. I would say it is very similar to the Kirspy Kreme version, but it is not as sugary sweet and doesn’t feel as heavy a treat.
This doughnut on it’s own was £3.90, which is more than a standard doughnut, but not quite as expensive as the more ‘high end’ options. Which I do think is reasonable because this does feel like a good ‘middle of the road’ doughnut. It is nicer than your standard, quick doughnut, like a Krispy Kreme, and so the price does reflect this. But it is still not quite on the same level as the more high end options, like Crosstown, so again the price shows this: You are going to get a better than average doughtnut for just under £4, but it definitely won’t change your life and blow your socks off with the flavours.
