Krispy Kreme Vegan Doughnuts
100% Delicious
World Vegan Day just got a whole lot sweeter at Krispy Kreme
You asked for it and we listened! To celebrate World Vegan Day, November 1st, we're launching our highly anticipated and limited time only ‘vegan-friendly’ doughnuts!
You can get your hands on these two, plant-based and 100% delicious treats online and in store, they're guaranteed to surprise and delight vegan and non-vegans alike.
We've brought back one of our classic premium flavours - the Apple Custard Crumble Doughnut: a fluffy shell-shaped Doughnut, filled with creamy apple custard, dipped in a tantalising spiced icing, and dunked in a vanilla biscuit crumb.
And for the choc-lovers - the decadent Fudge Brownie Bliss Doughnut: a shell-shaped Doughnut, filled generously with rich brownie batter, expertly dipped in luscious choc icing, and sprinkled with choc biscuit crumbs.
Both flavours are made fresh daily and have been expertly crafted to offer the same great taste and freshness Krispy Kreme is famous for, with the added benefit of being vegan-friendly.
The vegan duo will be available to order online until 3rd December 2023, or to buy in store until 4th December 2023.
