Krispy Kreme told The Sun that “Brits begged the brand to bring the new flavour to the UK after seeing the delicious nutty treat go viral in Australia last month.”
Not only has Krispy Kreme brought the flavour from Australia to the UK, it teamed up with a British company to produce the yummy taste.
The Pistachio Overload doughnut officially made it into stores on Monday (May 12), but was available at Krispy Kremes in Manchester a day earlier.
That was due to the fact Krispy Kreme had teamed up with the Mancunian brand, Blackmilk, to create the iconic dessert.
Blackmilk’s beloved Pistachio Cream spread is being used in the baking of the new doughnut flavour.
The green delight is topped with the Blackmilk cream, a white chocolate drizzle and candied pistachio nibs, while Krispy Kreme’s trademarked pistachio cream fills the doughnut.
Krispy Kreme confirmed to The Sun that Pistachio Overload will be available for £3.49 in all UK and Ireland stores until May 25.
It will land in Tesco UK branches on May 19 until May 25.
Krispy Kreme announced the doughnut’s arrival on social media and said it hoped the news would make up for the April Fools’ joke it had played on its followers.
On April 1, the brand posted a “message” from its managing director saying that after 87 years, it would be discontinuing its famous glazed doughnut.
The joke letter said the decision had been made in order to create space for the reintroduced, raspberry glazed doughnut.
The jam-filled treat was first discontinued in November 2024, causing a stir among sweet-toothed customers.
Even Alison Hammond begged the brand not to axe her favourite flavour on ITV’s This Morning.
The flavour is back by popular demand thanks to a nationwide public vote – dubbed “The Great Doughbate”.
This poll took place in Krispy Kreme shops and across social media between March 17 and 23.
Fans were given the opportunity to decide which discontinued favourite flavour to bring back.
The Glazed Raspberry was pitted against another fan favourite, Chocolate Custard.
However, the fruity flavour won out with the British public, receiving 66% of the total votes.
