Let’s Talk About Crosstown’s New Vegan Chocolate & Honeycomb Doughnut

The doughnut in question

The latest band member to join the Crosstown cohort is really something to behold.

Crosstown’s vegan black cocoa dough cocoons a rich dark chocolate custard, with a generous speckling of honeycomb. An indulgent layer of chocolate ganache is individually pallet knifed onto each doughnut and then finished with a shower of honeycomb pieces and chocolate soil.

What is vegan honeycomb?

Right, that’s understandably a confusing name, but we’re not talking beehive honeycomb here – you can exhale now. 

This is the centre of a Crunchie bar honeycomb, the kind from the second round in The Squid Games where sugar is melted and bicarbonate of soda is added to cause a giant golden fizz.

Yes, it’s just as Insta-worthy as the rest of their doughnuts

Just look at this shot and decide for yourself. Doesn’t it just fit perfectly between a Tongan Vanilla Bean Glaze and Cinnamon Scroll? 

How does it taste? 

Alexa, play A Moment Like This by Leona Lewis. 

To say we enjoyed it is an understatement. Here were some highlights from the team in no particular order: 

“So nice to bite into It’s soft and pillowy.” 

“It’s got more filling than the truffle ring – my favourite up until now.”

“Custard fillings are underrated, this is lovely.” 

“Hear me out, it tastes like school doughnuts, but totally in the best way, I love school doughnuts – this is a compliment.” 

“I thought the honeycomb crumb was hazelnuts. They’re not hazelnuts. This is much better.”  

And my personal favourite comment, “Not heavy’”.
