Krispy Kreme adds nine new doughnut flavors and retires three favorites

Which of these new flavors would you grab first?

Krispy Kreme is revamping its bakery case with nine new tempting doughnuts and bidding farewell to three longtime favorites. The expanded menu mixes nostalgic desserts with fresh, indulgent twists, from cheesecake-inspired fillings to cookie butter glazes.

It’s the brand’s boldest refresh in a decade, giving fans more reasons than ever to “dozen” their own way.

Are you more loyal to classics or eager to try something brand new?

This November, Krispy Kreme expands its everyday lineup from 10 to 16 full-sized doughnuts. Five newcomers are permanent, while four are rotating seasonal varieties.

To make room, three classics will bow out. The result? A sweeter, more varied menu designed to satisfy both traditionalists and trend chasers alike.

Why the change?

After more than a decade, Krispy Kreme decided it was time for a refresh. Inspired by customer feedback, social media favorites, and the success of limited releases, the brand created flavors that reflect current dessert trends, from Biscoff to brownie.

The update celebrates creativity while staying true to Krispy Kreme’s melt-in-your-mouth roots, honoring tradition yet inviting playful flavors and whimsy.

New permanent doughnuts

The new permanent flavors read like a dessert lover’s dream: New York Cheesecake, Oreo Cookies and Kreme, Original Glazed Cake, Cinnamon Apple Filled, and Original Glazed Kreme Filled.

Each one builds on the signature light texture Krispy Kreme is famous for, but with new fillings, toppings, and textures that add irresistible variety.

New York Cheesecake doughnut

The New York Cheesecake doughnut feels like a mini dessert in your hand. Unglazed and coated in creamy vanilla icing, it’s topped with a buttery graham cracker crunch and filled with cheesecake-flavored Kreme.

It blends rich tanginess with doughnut sweetness, giving you that “cheesecake bite” without the fork. You can definitely trade a slice of cheesecake for this handheld version.

Oreo Cookies and Kreme doughnut

Krispy Kreme’s Oreo Cookies and Kreme doughnut is a chocolate lover’s fantasy. Filled with cookies-and-cream Kreme, dipped in chocolate icing, and crowned with Oreo crumbles, it layers creamy, crunchy, and fudgy textures in every bite.

This one’s pure nostalgia for anyone who ever dunked an Oreo in milk. This cookies-and-cream creation can easily beat your favorite chocolate doughnut.

Original Glazed Cake doughnut

The Original Glazed Cake doughnut reimagines Krispy Kreme’s most iconic treat with a comforting and old-fashioned twist.

Denser and more buttery than its yeast-raised sibling, it’s perfect for dipping into coffee. Fans of the classic cake doughnut will adore how it keeps the signature glaze while adding a nostalgic heft.

Cinnamon Apple Filled doughnut

Fall meets comfort food in the Cinnamon Apple Filled doughnut. Each bite bursts with warm apple-cinnamon Kreme, hugged by soft dough and rolled in powdered cinnamon sugar.

It’s cozy, fragrant, and made for cool mornings when you crave something homey and sweet. You can pair this cinnamon-apple creation with morning coffee or evening tea.

Original Glazed Kreme Filled doughnut

If you adore the classic Krispy Kreme Original Glazed but wish for a little more indulgence, this doughnut is your dream come true. Inside the familiar golden, pillowy dough lies a fluffy, cloud-like Kreme filling that oozes creamy sweetness with every bite.

The smooth, airy filling complements the melt-in-your-mouth glaze perfectly, creating a harmonious balance of textures and flavors.

New seasonal doughnuts

Krispy Kreme’s seasonal lineup this fall brings four irresistible limited-time stars: Biscoff Cookie Butter Kreme, Original Glazed Pumpkin Spice Cake, Maple Iced, and Chocolate Fudge Brownie.

Each doughnut delivers festive flair, rich textures, and indulgent flavors, perfect for cozy mornings or sweet treats any time of day. Designed to rotate throughout the year, these seasonal delights keep the display case fresh and exciting.

Biscoff Cookie Butter Kreme doughnut

This doughnut is pure caramelized magic for cookie lovers. A soft, golden base hides Biscoff cookie butter-flavored Kreme, creating a luscious, melt-in-your-mouth center. It’s dipped in rich cookie butter icing and crowned with crushed Biscoff cookies for crunch.

Each bite blends spiced warmth with creamy sweetness, delivering that signature European biscuit flavor in doughnut form. Truly, it’s the ultimate treat for indulgent afternoons.

Original Glazed Pumpkin Spice Cake

Love the iconic Original Glazed but craving a cozier twist? Meet your fall upgrade. This cake doughnut folds real pumpkin spice warmth into that signature, tender crumb, then finishes with a glossy glaze that melts on the tongue.

Each bite is softly spiced, think cinnamon, nutmeg, and a hint of clove, playing against the silky sheen of the glaze for a balanced, craveable finish. Familiar comfort, elevated for sweater-weather season.

Maple Iced doughnut

The Maple Iced doughnut evokes the comforting aroma of autumn mornings. Krispy Kreme’s soft, pillowy Original Glazed doughnut is dipped in smooth, maple-flavored icing, giving each bite a buttery sweetness reminiscent of pancakes and syrup.

Its subtle richness makes it perfect for breakfast or a mid-afternoon treat, while the light glaze keeps it delicate. A cozy, nostalgic flavor that feels like fall in every bite, like this ‘Chef’s Kiss’ chocolate cake is pure dessert perfection.

Chocolate Fudge Brownie doughnut

Chocolate lovers, rejoice: an Original Glazed topped with silky brownie buttercream, crunchy brownie bits, and rainbow sprinkles delivers pure decadence.

Every bite delivers layers of fudgy chocolate, soft dough, and sweet topping, creating a dessert-like experience you can hold in your hand. It’s indulgent, rich, and perfect for chocolate enthusiasts who crave serious flavor just like the ones found in chocolate fusion brownies from around the world.

Recently retired flavors include Original Glazed Blueberry Cake, Original Glazed Lemon Filled, and Cake Batter, a sprinkle-topped vanilla classic reminiscent of birthday cake. These fan favorites have left the lineup to make room for new creations.
