Dunkin’ Donuts is entering the hybrid pastry market with the rollout of the Croissant Donut, its take on Dominique Ansel’s much-beloved cronut. Light and flaky like a croissant but glazed like a classic Dunkin’ Donuts donut, the new treat became available in the New York area and nationwide on Monday, Nov. 3.
The Croissant Donut will be made in limited quantities and served each day while supplies last for a limited time only at participating restaurants nationwide. The suggested retail price is $2.49.
“Dunkin’ Donuts’ baking heritage goes back nearly 65 years and we are proud to extend our bakery lineup with the addition of our new Croissant Donut,” said Jeff Miller, Dunkin’ Brands Executive Chef and Vice President of Culinary Innovation. “The Croissant Donut has 24 layers of buttery dough and is covered with the same sweet distinctive glaze used on our Glazed Donuts, creating the ultimate pastry that is crisp on the outside and soft and flaky on the inside. We look forward to bringing this new, unique bakery item to our guests nationwide.”
