With summer fun on the horizon, a special, limited-edition flavor is taking over the beloved doughnut chain. Krispy Kreme’s Orange Dreamsicle Original Glazed is straight from the grove. It is the perfect bite to bring a burst of bright flavors to start the day.
As one of the most iconic food items, the Original Glazed Doughnut is always delicious. The perfectly sweet glaze gives way to the ultimate pillowy doughnut texture. It is hard to just eat one.
Over the years, Krispy Kreme has launched various flavored glazes. From the beloved chocolate to strawberry, the limited time offerings have people sprinting to bask in the glow of the Red Light.
Available from May 14 through May 17, the Orange Dreamsicle Original Glazed will be in stores. With such a limited run, people will want to squeeze out every last bite before the flavor disappears.
According to Alison Holder, Krispy Kreme Chief Brand and Product Officer, “Summer flavors have a way of sparking instant happiness. Our first‑ever Orange Dreamsicle Original Glazed doughnuts are here to deliver that feel‑good flavor now.”
What Can People Expect from Krispy Kreme’s Orange Dreamsicle Original Glaze?
Krispy Kreme describes this flavor as bright citrus with a vanilla finish. Based on that statement, the first bite should capture a fruity juiciness. Orange should be the initial taste.
Finishing with vanilla sweetness, it will entice another bite. That warm, comforting vanilla note captures a sense of nostalgia. It is the taste of familiar that feels like a warm hug.
Adding this orange dreamsicle flavor now is a curious choice. A few years ago, the sweet citrus flavor was a big food trend. By waiting and avoiding a crowded market, Krispy Kreme has a captive audience for its doughnuts. The move ensures that this specialty product will be quite successful.
Additionally, the timing is curious for the brand. Following its Mother’s Day promotion, this promotion gives people an excuse to make another visit. Instead of a dip before Memorial Day weekend, there is a spike in interest and sales.
Could Krispy Kreme launch another fruit-inspired glaze flavor this summer? Over the years, strawberry, lemon and lime have been featured. Maybe the brand can go totally out of the box and introduce some watermelon inspired offerings for summer. Just think of the recipe hacks for a watermelon Original Glaze Doughnut. Can everyone imagine a doughnut ice cream sandwich with a sprinkling of sea salt? It would be the hit of the summer.
