'I tried new Krispy Kreme pistachio doughnut and one feature surprised me'
Krispy Kreme released its new Pistachio Overload doughnut in UK stores over the weekend after it was first launched in Australia last month and a food reviewer has now given her verdict on the treat
Krispy Kreme has released a new pistachio doughnut in the UK. Following the success of the viral Dubai chocolate bar, there has been a surge in pistachio flavoured desserts and sweet treats.
The chocolate bar is known for being filled with having pistachio cream and now the popular doughnut company has jumped on the trend. The arrival of the Pistachio Overload doughnut in the UK comes after it was launched exclusively in Australia last month, much to the delight of fans. Food reviewer Angelina, known on social media for determining whether trending treats are 'Angelina certified', picked up some of the Krispy Kreme pistachio doughnuts and was surprised by one thing when she put them to the test.
She shared her honest thoughts in a TikTok video. After taking a bite of the doughnut, her eyes lit up and she said: 'This is actually so leng, I don't think you understand, like I really like it.'
The food reviewer added that the pistachio cream inside the baked good was 'so sweet' and she was surprised to find that it was 'like pistachio whipped cream rather than just pistachio spread.'
Angelina noted that it was 'very, very fluffy' and had a 'kind of floral' aftertaste. She continued: 'I actually can't stop eating it because it's so good.'
The dessert fan concluded: 'This is so bad, I literally bought six of them and I feel like I'm gonna eat all of it today.'
Angelina scored the Krispy Kreme Pistachio Overload doughnut a nine out of 10 and decided that it was indeed 'Angelina certified.'
People took to social media back in February begging for the doughnut to be launched in the UK following its release Down Under, so fans were thrilled to see Krispy Kreme answering their prayers.
The doughnut is filled with a pistachio cream from the award-winning Manchester dessert company BLACK MILK, and is topped with candied pistachio nibs and a white chocolate drizzle.
Krispy Kreme first launched the doughnut in the UK in Manchester on Sunday, May 11 before rolling it out to the rest of the UK and Ireland the following day.
Angelina's TikTok video has garnered 141,300 views, 12,700 likes and almost 200 comments, at the time of writing.
The top comment is from Krispy Kreme itself who said: 'We need to add Angelina Certified to our bio.'
The doughnut giant has in fact included @Angelina certified in its bio on TikTok. Another viewer added: 'I fear I would eat this all in one sitting.'
A third chimed in: 'I bet it tasted amazing.' However, not everyone shared the same opinion as someone else remarked: 'I tried one today and I didn't like it at all and I love pistachio! Glazed raspberry all day long!'
The Krispy Kreme doughnut can be bought from UK stores for £3.49.

Fans roast Indy Clinton for 'cringeworthy' display at Sydney meet-and-greet event
Indy Clinton has faced some not-so-subtle roasting following a meet-and-greet event in Sydney. The influencer, 27, who is the face of haircare label Bouf, was in the Castle Towers shopping centre in Castle Hill on Saturday to spruik the brand. However fans were quick to slam Indy after she shared a clip of the event to TikTok. The clip showed Indy dancing with abandon on a Bouf-themed stage to what appeared to be a smattering of Saturday shoppers. The mum-of-three looked very much in her element as she gleefully sashayed her way around the stage. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'Dream come true, a dance performance to a crowd (who aren't my kids),' Indy captioned the clip. However, it wasn't a dream come true for many on the AussieTikTokSnark Reddit page with fans labelling the event as 'cringeworthy'. 'I'm having a good chuckle at the deliberate cropping of the line in her videos, don't think many showed up,' one user wrote. 'Also the dancing on the stage was so cringeworthy, kind of like what a teenager might do as a joke.' Another agreed, adding that they felt embarrassed for the influencer. 'Just saw her TikTok and nearly passed away from second-hand embarrassment,' they quipped. 'Barely anyone showed up lmfao, and the people that are watching look like they're just having a look because they were walking past while doing their shopping and stopped to see what was going on.' Yet another, who claimed to be at the event chimed in with: 'I walked past as I was shopping and it was dead.' It wasn't all negative however, with many fans praising Indy's display over on TikTok. 'We need Indy on a runway ASAP,' one swooned while another, who attended, added: 'You're an icon. Loved meeting you today. 'Such a huge moment,' a third said. 'Performing in front of a crowd must feel incredible.' It comes after Indy was called out for promoting the hair care brand while wearing wigs and hair extensions. She shared a video to Instagram giving fans a sneak peek inside her new campaign for Bouf Haircare. The clip featured Indy posing in a jumpsuit while wearing long hair extensions as well as in a short mini dress with a long blonde wig attached to her locks. Many flocked to the comments to slam Indy for promoting a hair growth product while wearing fake hair extensions. 'Don't get me wrong, this is cool, but also I'm not drawn to buying haircare when the model has fake hair/extensions. It's just hard to see how a product can be effective when we aren't shown real hair,' one person wrote. 'How do we know her fine hair wasn't caused by postpartum hair loss and the hair gain isn't just what happens when hormones settle after a baby and hair begins to grow back?' another asked. A third jumped in with: 'I mean this is fun but the choice of wigs and clip ins is not giving hair growth brand. There are so many hair growth serums out there lol. 'Didn't Indy used to plug Bondi Boost all the time?' Despite the backlash, others rushed to Indy's defence and praised her exciting new campaign. Bouf Haircare co-founder Rachael Wilde has posted a video to TikTok explaining why they decided to incorporate wigs in their campaign photo shoot. 'Indy documented an entire four months of using the product,' she began. 'The overall art direction, that we wanted to go with was to create this moment of juxtaposition. The woman in her chaotic everyday world and life at home feeling like an absolute superstar with this bold volume of her hair. 'An example is someone sitting on a pile of washing but we wanted to make it glam so we are showing a woman in her bold confident self with all this stuff going on in her life. 'We went with really big with the hair just to go overboard with expressing the polar opposites with these two things.'

I ordered a pretty cake for my birthday but what arrived was so ugly – people say it ‘looks like a five-year-old did it'
A YOUNG woman has revealed that she ordered herself what she thought would be a trendy and pretty cake to celebrate her birthday. Eager to kick off her celebrations in style, Alexandra Tobie splashed the cash on a personalised birthday treat. 2 2 But when her cake arrived, the content creator was lost for words and left in tears by the fail. And not only have people said they 'wouldn't have paid' for the cake, but others suggested it looked like it had been made by a child. Posting on social media, Alexandra gave her followers a close-up look at the glamorous cake she had requested, as she wrote: 'What I ordered…' Alexandra had asked for a pink heart-shaped cake, with a bold black font that read 'That Girl Since '03'. The cake she had in mind featured incredibly neat piping around the edges and even had a glitter spray on it. But moments later, Alexandra shared a snap of what she actually got, which unfortunately looked nothing like she had hoped. While the cake was in fact pink, the black text was instead yellow and nowhere near as stylish. Not only this, but the cake itself wasn't the same heart shape Alexandra had asked for. And if that wasn't bad enough, the top of the cake featured a rogue blue heart, as well as a random splodge of blue icing, which appeared to be a mistake. Clearly gutted with her birthday cake, alongside a crying and broken heart emoji, Alexandra sobbed: 'It's so ugly omg.' The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ alexandratobie_, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has amassed 82,100 views. Not only this, but it's also racked up 3,795 likes, 166 comments, 439 saves and 352 shares. Hacks for Keeping Food Fresh in Your Fridge IF you want your food to stay fresh, you'll need to try out this useful hacks... Herbs in Water: Store fresh herbs like parsley and coriander in a glass of water, then cover with a plastic bag to keep them fresh for weeks. Wrap Greens in Paper Towels: Wrap leafy greens in paper towels before placing them in a plastic bag. The towels absorb excess moisture, preventing wilting. Use Mason Jars: Store salads, chopped vegetables, and even leftovers in mason jars. They are airtight and keep food fresher for longer. Revive Stale Bread: Sprinkle a bit of water on stale bread and pop it in the oven for a few minutes to make it fresh again. Baking Soda for Odours: Place an open box of baking soda in your fridge to absorb odours and keep food tasting fresh. Freeze Herbs in Olive Oil: Chop herbs and freeze them in olive oil using an ice cube tray. This preserves their flavour and makes them easy to use. Keep Cheese Fresh: Wrap cheese in wax paper instead of plastic wrap. Wax paper allows the cheese to breathe, preventing it from becoming slimy. Store Avocados with Onions: Place a cut avocado in an airtight container with a slice of onion. The sulphur compounds in the onion slow down oxidation, keeping the avocado fresh. Use Vinegar Wash for Berries: Rinse berries in a mixture of water and vinegar (one cup of vinegar to three cups of water) before storing. This kills bacteria and mould spores, extending their shelf life. Egg Freshness Test: To check if eggs are still fresh, place them in a bowl of water. Fresh eggs will sink, while old ones will float. Implement these clever hacks to maximise the freshness of your food and make the most of your groceries. Social media users were left 'screaming' by the cake blunder and many eagerly flocked to the comments to share their thoughts on Alexandra's purchase. One person said: 'I know my entire year would be ruined with a cake like that!' Another added: 'Even the colours are not communicating. I'd cry a river.' A third commented: 'They didn't even try.' Meanwhile, someone else slammed: 'I wouldn't have paid.' At the same time, a mother chimed in and claimed: 'Looks like my five year old did it.'
