While Krispy Kreme is known for its iconic Original Glazed that beckons people to its Red Light, Milk Bar has built its brand on whimsical, nostalgic flavors. The newest brand collaboration transforms classic Milk Bar desserts into craveable doughnuts.
Krispy Kreme understands that collaborations keep its doughnuts fresh. From candy crossovers to pop culture connections, each new release gets people to make a special trip. These specialty offerings never take away from the brand’s signature doughnut. Rather, it showcases why that classic treat is always craveable.
Available starting on April 21, the Krispy Kreme x Milk Bar Collection features three new doughnuts. They are the Birthday Cake Doughnut, Milk Bar Pie Doughnut, and Compost Cookie Doughnut. As the names suggest, they are a riff on classic Milk Bar desserts.
According to Alison Holder, Chief Brand and Product Officer at Krispy Kreme, “Krispy Kreme and Milk Bar share a passion for turning familiar flavors into unforgettable experiences. Working alongside Christina Tosi to reimagine her most-loved creations as doughnuts has resulted in a collection that’s as bold and craveable as it is unique. We’re excited for fans to discover this one-of-a-kind collaboration.”
The key to this collaboration is the sense of nostalgia and whimsy. Those characteristics epitomize Milk Bar offerings. Now, a wider audience can experience a taste of Tosi’s desserts.
Which Krispy Kreme x Milk Bar Collection Doughnut Is Most Successful?
The Krispy Kreme x Milk Bar Collection Doughnuts come in three flavors. They are Birthday Cake Doughnut, Milk Bar Pie Doughnut and Compost Cookie Doughnut.
The most creative doughnut is the Compost Cookie Doughnut. It retains the Milk Bar dessert while giving it a Krispy Kreme twist. The Original Glazed is the perfect pillowy backdrop to the crunchy toppings. It is salty, sweet, crunchy and soft. With the caramel drizzle that brings it all together, it is the perfect bite. Grab a cold glass of milk and enjoy!
The Milk Bar Pie Doughnut is a slice of a classic. The filling tastes just like the buttery, gooey pie filing. The key to this doughnut is the oat cookie topping. It needs that crunch to break up the super sweet flavors. For people who love pie, but want it in a different format, this doughnut delivers.
Lastly, the Birthday Cake Doughnut is the most familiar. It transforms the Original Glazed with birthday cake frosting, cake crumbles and rainbow sprinkles. It feels like the infamous naked cake but it is just the right portion.
Although this specialty collection is just for a limited time, it would be nice to see this collection stay through Mother’s Day. It would make for a delightful dessert tray for brunch.
Additionally, there are plenty of ways to keep this collaboration going. More importantly, the collection shows that nostalgia and whimsy always resonate. Going forward, Krispy Kreme would be smart to keep this theme in future offerings.
The Krispy Kreme x Milk Bar Collection is available starting on April 21 for a limited time. Check with stores for availability and pricing.
