'I tried new Krispy Kreme pistachio doughnut and one feature surprised me'
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.

Pop duo cancel shows after scary moment sees member collapse on stage
Australian pop duo Royel Otis have been forced to take action after one member collapsed mid-performance this week. Comprising Royel Maddell and Otis Pavlovic, the indie musicians from Sydney were playing at the MS Dockville festival in Hamburg, Germany, when things took a worrying turn. Footage captured by fans and shared on TikTok showed Royel playing his guitar before falling to the ground with a thud. Other members of the live band rushed over to help as concerned gasps could be heard among the crowd. It was initially unknown what caused Royel to collapse, but reports claimed it happened just 15 minutes into the set. Now, issuing an update to their thousands of followers, the duo have confirmed they need to axe their next performance while he recovers from an illness. A statement shared on Instagram read: 'We are really sorry to say that we need to cancel our set at Lowlands + Pukkelpop festival as Roy has been unwell with a virus since last night's show in Hamburg.' The stars added: 'We were really looking forward to playing for you and hope we can see you at one of our other shows soon. 'Thank you for all your support always [pink heart emoji] Roy + Otis'. As news of the gig's cancellation spread, fans expressed their sadness on social media but wished the performer well. Guitar-pop duo Royel Otis have been making music together since 2019, releasing their debut EP, Campus, in 2021. Their commercial breakthrough, however, came last January, when the Grammys named Royel Otis as one of '25 Artists to Watch' that year, leading to the release of their first album, Pratts & Pain, the following month. It debuted at number one on the ARIA Australian Albums Chart. Royel Otis proceeded to gain a huge online following thanks to their viral covers, the first being of Sophie Ellis-Bextor's Murder on the Dancefloor, which also charted Down Under. Then, last April, the pair covered Linger by The Cranberries, which also became a global hit thanks to social media, even reaching the Billboard Hot 100 in August. Since then, their career has only continued to thrive, as they made their US TV debut performing their tune Sofa King on Jimmy Kimmel Live last October, going on to sell over 100,000 tickets across Australia, Europe, and the US. Their success has not been without a smidge of controversy, though. In May this year, they had to issue an apology after being slammed by listeners for 'misogynistic' lyrics. Moody, released earlier that month, sparked backlash for its use of the word 'b***h'. Co-written by award-winning Amy Allen, one line reads: 'She's always givin' it to me. Late nights, she always accusin'. Last time, she said she would kill me. My girl's a b***h when she's moody'. After being blasted by their supporters for the 'cheap' dig, entertainment lawyers on behalf of Royel Otis said they were sorry for any upset caused. 'Moody has been Royel Otis' highest-performing release in the first two weeks globally, both digitally and on radio,' they said. 'This song is written from a specific perspective; it is not intended to convey a broader view or standpoint about women in general. 'We apologise if anyone understood those lyrics otherwise.' Despite the criticism, Moody became Royel Otis's first Billboard number one single. More Trending Fans might also know of member Otis because of his famous mother, multi-millionaire beauty mogul Carla Oates. He famously used to cover his face in public, having only recently started to share snaps of his face online, much to the delight of fans. On his decision to cover up, he previously told the Daily Telegraph: 'It makes it easier to pick pictures; I always look OK because you don't see this f*****g crooked nose and fat a*s head.' Royel Otis are set to release their sophomore album, Hickey, on August 22. Got a story?

Conjoined sisters Abby and Brittany Hensel spotted carrying newborn baby
Conjoined twins Abby and Brittany Hensel have been pictured carrying a newborn baby one year after their secret wedding was revealed. Images show the pair, 34, holding the baby in a car seat near a car in Arden Hills, Minnesota, on Thursday. They were last in the public spotlight a year ago after it was revealed Abby had married dad-of-one Joshua Bowling three years before in 2021. Joshua shared a wedding day picture on his Facebook, showing the couple with Brittany. The family already sparked pregnancy rumours in December after they shared an uncaptioned video on Tiktok featuring a series of fake 'breaking' news headlines referencing them. One of the headlines read 'Shocking Tragedy', while another said: 'What if one dies?' The final headline, showcased at the end of the video, read: 'Married & baby on the way,' leading fans to speculate if the twins used the clip to soft-launch a pregnancy. Abby and Brittany are yet to confirm any pregnancy. The two shot to fame on reality TV and first appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show in 1996 when they were just six-years-old. They now work as teachers in Minnesota and are the rarest conjoined twins because they come from a single fertilised egg that failed to fully separate in the womb. The pair have two brains, two spinal cords and two hearts, but share organs from below the waist. More Trending Abby controls the right arm and leg and Brittany controls the left. In a previous documentary about their life, the pair said: 'People have been curious about us since we were born, for obvious reasons. 'But our parents never let us use that as an excuse. We were raised to believe we could do anything we wanted to do. 'The most amazing thing about us is we are like everyone else.'
