Krispy Kreme Review: Raspberry Cheesecake Doughnut
This one immediately stands out as one of the more “dessert-style” doughnuts in the lineup, and right away you can tell it’s aiming to mimic an actual slice of cheesecake.
Visually, it looks layered — you’ve got the doughnut base, a creamy topping or filling, and that raspberry element that adds colour and contrast.
The dough itself is classic Krispy Kreme — light, airy, and soft. It works well here because everything else is fairly rich, so having that lighter base keeps it from feeling too heavy.
The cheesecake component is where most of the flavour comes from. It’s smooth, slightly tangy, and creamy enough to actually resemble cheesecake rather than just sweet icing.
Then the raspberry comes in and balances everything. It adds that slight tartness that cuts through the richness, which is really important for a doughnut like this.
Texture-wise, you get a mix of soft dough, creamy filling, and slightly thicker topping, which keeps it interesting throughout.
This is one of the better balanced doughnuts because it’s not just sweet — there’s contrast.
Final Verdict:
A well-balanced, dessert-style doughnut with a nice mix of creamy and tart. One of the stronger options flavour-wise.
