Donut storage tips: How to keep them fresh
Don’t waste donuts. Use these simple tips to keep them soft and fresh for longer.
Krispy Kreme has teamed up with Milk Bar and its founder, James Beard Award-winning pastry chef Christina Tosi, to develop a new collection that reimagines some of Milk Bar’s most popular flavors.
The collection will roll out at Krispy Kreme stores nationwide on Tuesday, April 21st and features three new donut flavors.
- Birthday cake/donuts: Our original glazed cake donut is wrapped in birthday cake frosting, sprinkled with cake crumble, and finished with rainbow sprinkles.
- Milk bar pie donut: Unglazed shell donuts are filled with melty, buttery pie filling, dipped in caramel icing, rolled with an oat cookie topping, and lightly dusted with a sweet, powdery coating.
- Compost cookie donut: Our original glazed donut is dipped in creamy cookie-flavored icing, slathered with cookie-compost-inspired crunch, and finished with a drizzle of caramel.
“Creative Collision”: How to get the Krispy Kreme x Milk Bar Collection
The donut chain says the collection will be available for purchase in-store, as well as for pickup and delivery individually or in batches of dozens through the Krispy Kreme app and website. Customers can also have this collection and three Original Glazed Donuts delivered in six-packs to select retailers.
“Krispy Kreme and Milk Bar coming together felt like a creative collision waiting to happen, but the reality was even bigger, bolder, and delicious than I could have dreamed,” Toshi said in a news release. “These donuts are a highly creative and delicious interpretation of our classic milk bar dessert, bringing nostalgia and flavor to a whole new experience.”
“Working with Christina Tosi to reimagine her most beloved creations as donuts has resulted in a collection that is as bold and covetable as it is unique,” Krispy Kreme chief brand and product officer Alison Holder said in a news release. “We look forward to our fans discovering this unique collaboration.”
