Sweet Taste of Italy Krispy Kreme Unveils ‘Passport to Italy’ Doughnuts
Krispy Kreme® is inviting fans on a delicious getaway this summer—no international travel required. With the debut of its new “Passport to Italy” Collection, the brand is transforming classic Italian dessert flavors into crave-worthy doughnuts that embody the essence of “la dolce vita,” or “the sweet life.” This limited-time offering allows customers to indulge in Italy’s most iconic treats without ever leaving their hometown.
Available starting today at participating Krispy Kreme locations across the United States, the Passport to Italy Collection features three decadent doughnuts that pay tribute to beloved Italian confections. Each creation combines Krispy Kreme’s signature fluffy doughnut base with rich flavors and textures inspired by Italian culinary traditions. Whether it’s the creamy layers of tiramisu, the crunch and creaminess of a cannoli, or the vibrant citrus of lemon desserts, this collection delivers a unique taste journey crafted for summer enjoyment.
🍩 A Trio of Tempting Italian-Inspired Treats
Krispy Kreme’s Passport to Italy Collection includes the following three all-new doughnuts:
- Cannoli Inspired Doughnut
This doughnut takes inspiration from the famed Sicilian pastry. It starts with an unglazed ring doughnut that is half-dipped in smooth chocolate icing and rolled in cookie crunch pieces. A generous dusting of powdered sugar adds a classic touch, while a dollop of cannoli-flavored buttercreme on top completes the experience. It’s the perfect balance of crispy and creamy, rich and sweet. - Limone Delight Doughnut
Channeling the bright, refreshing flavors of Italian lemon desserts, this doughnut is a citrus lover’s dream. It features an unglazed shell doughnut filled with lemon delight-flavored Kreme™, then dipped in a tangy lemon-flavored icing. The finishing touch? A topping of candied lemon that adds texture and an extra pop of zesty sweetness. - Tiramisu Inspired Doughnut
Inspired by Italy’s iconic layered dessert, this doughnut boasts layers of its own. An unglazed shell doughnut is filled with tiramisu-flavored Kreme™ and topped with a swirl of sweet creme-flavored buttercreme. A light dusting of cocoa powder over the top evokes the finishing layer of traditional tiramisu and adds a hint of bitterness to balance the sweetness.
