It's that time again when someone creates a new kind of food hybrid that pushes over the one before...Move over Cronut, here comes the newest doughnut hybrid. Krispy Kreme Japan is introducing two limited edition creations — the Chounut and Waffnut.
The Chounut is a donut made with choux pastry, which is the batter used to make cream puffs and French cruller donuts (of which the Chounut bears a striking resemblance), among other things. To emphasize the cross-over between cream puff and donut, each Chounut is sliced in half and sandwiches a cream filling. The Chounut will come in two different varieties. The Chounut Double Caramel comes filled with both caramel cream and a salted caramel sauce. The top of the donut sandwich is drizzled in dark chocolate to offset the sweetness. For a more refreshing flavor profile, the Chounut Lemon Cheese comes filled with cream cheese infused with lemon rind, then topped with a white chocolate drizzle.
Sadly these sweet creations are only available in Krispy Kreme Japan locations from June 10 for a limited period. Let's hope someone tries to make them here...
