I stopped by Doughnut Plant last week to check out their holiday doughnut offerings and was faced with many more choices than I was expecting. I thought maybe they would have a couple of seasonal specials, but they had 5! I decided to get a marzipan star (mostly because it was a star) and the triple chocolate mint, and headed inside.
They were sold out of a bunch of doughnuts that late afternoon, including the marzipan star, so I substituted the star with one that jumped out at me in the display case - the cranberry yeast doughnut.
We really like the yeast doughnuts at Doughnut Plant. They're soft and airy and the glazes on the ones like the cranberry doughnut always taste so natural. The coating on this doughnut was made from actual cranberry and you could taste the freshness. Because it was made from fresh cranberries you could taste both the sweetness and tartness you'd expect from the fruit. We really liked this one and it was probably our favorite of the 2.
The triple chocolate mint doughnut came in cake form, which meant it was much denser.
The outside icing of the doughnut tasted heavily of chocolate and mint, but the flavors were very mild when paired with the cakey donut, and the donut itself tasted like chocolate cake. We were hoping for (and expecting) more mint out of this.
Doughnut Plant makes some of our favorite doughnuts (although, to be fair, we haven't yet tried a lot of the heavy hitters in the NYC doughnut world since DP is so close to us now). Can't wait to see what specials we can get next time!
