Dunkin Donuts’ Reverse Boston Cream
As New Englander from way back–let’s put it this way, some of my relatives were on the Mayflower and the others met the boat–I should probably hold Boston Cream with a certain degree of reverence. But frankly, I’m not the biggest fan of the vanilla custard, chocolate frosted donut (or the cake that masquerades as a pie for that matter). If you up the chocolate, well, then you might get me interested. Dunkin Donuts did just that with their new chocolate donuts. I can only pass their “new donut” signage for so long before breaking down. I’m just not that strong. So I decided to check it out. At least I could let my fellow lunchers know if it was worth it.
I was most interested in trying their Reverse Boston Creme–chocolate flavored yeast donut, chocolate filling, and vanilla icing. Alas, this didn’t deliver as I would have hoped. The chocolate donut itself wasn’t terribly chocolatey and the filling was kind of like a thin pudding version of their chocolate frosting. As Serious Eats put it “it doesn’t dethrone the original Boston Creme.” SE has a taste test of all the other new chocolate flavors, sounds like if you like the regular chocolate frosted, that the Cocoa Confetti (aka a chocolate chocolate frosted) is the way to go.

Boston Creme is my husband’s hands down fav, too. And my dad’s. And my brother’s.

Reverse Boston Cream?
I’m thinking that’s kind of like a angry pirate crossed with a houdini, with a donkey punch thrown in at the end

Haha, Wayne that’s awesome!

Boo that’s too bad. The commercial for the reverse boston cream, on tv, actually made me pay attention.

You can’t mess with perfection.

It might sound crazy, but I really want to make a Boston Creme version of my baked vegan spelt donuts. It would be so crazy delicious!

The Boston Creme is my fav too (only thing besides Clam Chowder that I like associated with Boston). No messing with the classic.
Most days, I really just enjoy the DD coffee. Their chocolate donuts are nothing to write about. Sigh.

Boston Creme is my all time favorite donut. Yes, I even like it better than any Doughnut Plant.
