Cheesecake-Filled Donuts ExistI have wonderful news to share with you: such a thing as cheesecake-filled donuts exist.I had never occurred to me that one could stuff liquified cheesecake filling into a jelly donut shell, but it should have. Thanks to chef Jen Balisi, now we know for certain that it can be done.Balisi specializes in Filipino food, so it’s appropriate that she chose ube-flavored cheesecake filling for these donuts. Ube means “purple yam”, which I have seen at my local East Asian grocery store but not tried yet.Balisi’s donuts are now available at Dough Doughnuts, a gourmet donut chain in New York City.-via First We Feast#donuts #cheesecake #JenBalisi

The Krispy Kreme and Xbox Collaboration No One ExpectedMicrosoft, and more specifically, Xbox, is not new to cross-brand synergies with previous marketing strategies involving collaborations with Taco Bell, Doritos, and Mountain Dew in order to promote the Xbox One X in the United States. This time, Microsoft has teamed up with Krispy Kreme to commemorate Xbox's 20th anniversary.Krispy Kreme is celebrating this by releasing an Xbox donut for a limited time. The iced donut is topped with green icing and is dusted with powdered sugar, decorated to look like the brand’s signature logo—a big “X”, aptly called the nexus symbol of the famous console. It’s also filled with a thick and decadent chocolate brownie fondant that isn’t too punch-in-the-face sweet.Some might say that green isn’t exactly the most appetizing color—but then again, who doesn’t love donuts? Plus, those who buy a box of 12 also get the chance of winning a new Xbox Series X!The limited-edition doughnuts are available across the UK until August 22nd.Image: engaget | M.
