Whether it is a classic combination of flavours or a unique mix with textures, here’s a few indulgent fillings to try while making them at home.

JAM-CUSTARD

An iconic combination of creamy-rich vanilla custard and sweet-tart jam, these doughnuts are perfect to enjoy for breakfast.

PEANUT BUTTER-JELLY

Swap a boring PB&J sandwich with a filled doughnut that has an elevated level of deliciousness in the form of a doughnut.

BOSTON CREAM

Combine the greatness of a glazed and filled doughnut with luscious vanilla custard cream and a yummy chocolate glaze.

COCONUT CREAM

Bring tropical vibes and a vegan spin to filled doughnuts with toasted coconut flakes, sweet coconut cream and plenty of cinnamon sugar.
