Review: Krispy Kreme - Gingerbread Glazed Original Filled with Cheesecake Donut

Krispy Kreme's Gingerbread Glazed Original Filled with Cheesecake Donut features a spiced gingerbread yeast ring donut covered in a gingerbread molasses glaze filled with cheesecake Kreme.

It's only available through Christmas Eve and costs $1.69 in my area but I received this courtesy of Krispy Kreme.

The donut offered the same light, fluffy texture that Krispy Kreme's Original Glazed Donuts are known for but differed in that it had a lightly spiced quality (but no notes of ginger that I could pick out) and a slightly caramelized flavor to the glaze.

The cheesecake Kreme filling had a texture closer to whipped cream but with the sweet, creamy, and slightly tangy notes of cheesecake. It was an enjoyable flavor but tended to overpower what little spiced notes the donut could muster.

When it comes down to it, Krispy Kreme's Gingerbread Glazed Original Filled with Cheesecake Donut is more like a "Glazed Original Filled with Cheesecake Donut," which is fine if cheesecake is what you're looking for but if you're looking for more of that gingerbread flavor (or just want a name that's easier to remember), I recommend going with the non-filled version.
