Key Lime Krispy Kreme

Free donut alert! Check in on Foursquare at a participating Krispy Kreme today and you get a free donut! It's to promote their new key lime cake and key lime cheesecake donuts but they are giving out a free donut of your choice. We decided to go with both of the key lime ones since we have never had them before and we do love key lime pie.


The "key lime cheesecake" donut was topped with key lime cream cheese icing and graham cracker crust crumbles, and had key lime cheesecake inside.


Between the two donuts, this one tasted the most like a key lime pie. The filling inside tasted like key lime (no hint of cheesecake whatsoever, which I was fine with as I don't like cheesecake), and the cake, icing and crumbles tasted like other elements of key lime pie. We liked this one a lot.


The key lime cake donut was also topped with key lime cream cheese icing with a regular dollop of cream on top. This was fine but tasted less like key lime pie (if at all). It seems that all of the key lime flavor is really in the filling, not the icing. This tasted more like a regular donut with some cream.


We don't go to Krispy Kreme that often but if we're going to get a key lime donut again, I think we would go with the cheesecake one. There's still some time left for you to go try one for free!

We went to the Krispy Kreme at Penn Station in Manhattan - they are definitely participating!
