\"Krispy<\/p>\n

What is it?<\/h3>\n

The Original Glazed Doughnut from Krispy Kreme with a lemon makeover. Doughnut fans across the world voted between lemon, blueberry, caramel, and maple. Citrus came out on top, which will be available for one week of lemony delight.<\/p>\n

How is it?<\/h3>\n

\"Krispy<\/p>\n

Like all glazed Krispy Kreme doughnuts, this one is delicious. Soft, flaky, and doughy with a gentle snap from the ever so slightly thicker glaze than usual. When I went into the shop and got close to the glazing conveyor belt, the waft of lemon aroma was strong. But much like a cup of herbal tea, the nose was more prominent there than what I get while actually eating.<\/p>\n

\"Krispy<\/p>\n

The lemon flavor is soft and favors sweetness over acidity, although the citrus presence tempers the usual hyper-sweetness of the Krispy Original Glazed. There\u2019s a touch of fresh zesty flavor that cuts through the sugar, and a distinct confectioners powdered sugar flavor like the icing on top of a pound cake. It\u2019s there just enough to make a difference but not nearly as strong as a lemon filling or thick frosting.<\/p>\n

Is there anything else I need to know?<\/h3>\n

When popped into the microwave for the suggested six seconds the texture softens but surprisingly the lemon flavor stays the same. I\u2019ve found that generally an altered glaze will pop more when warm, but the lemon remains subtle and gentle like a cool spring breeze.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n

\"Krispy<\/p>\n

This is a lovely doughnut with a refreshing spin on one of the best items in fast food, but not something you need to go out of your way to try. I love that KK is mixing it up with its glaze and allowing for some real change to its recipe, but unless you\u2019re a die-hard lemon fan it\u2019s not a game changer, and even then it might be more subtle than your pucker-loving lips might desire.<\/p>\n
