Krispy Kreme Review: Basketball Doughnut
This one is very clearly built around the look first — and honestly, it does that part really well.
Visually, it’s one of the more fun themed doughnuts. The orange icing with the black lines actually does a solid job mimicking a basketball, and it stands out immediately.
The first bite is exactly what you expect from a Krispy Kreme base — soft, airy, and light.
Flavour-wise, it’s simple. The icing is sweet, slightly vanilla-forward, and doesn’t try to do anything too different.
This is definitely more of a visual product than a flavour-driven one.
That said, it still works. The sweetness is consistent, and nothing feels off.
Texture is where it stays strong:
- soft dough
- smooth icing
- slight firmness from the decorative lines
It’s easy to eat, not overly heavy, and doesn’t feel like too much.
This is one of those doughnuts you grab because it looks fun, and the taste supports it enough to make it worth it.
Final Verdict:
Fun, simple, and sweet. More about the design, but still a solid classic doughnut.
