Krispy Kreme told The Sun that "Brits begged the brand to bring the new flavour to the UK after seeing the delicious nutty treat go viral in Australia last month."
Not only has Krispy Kreme brought the flavour from Australia to the UK, it teamed up with a British company to produce the yummy taste.
The Pistachio Overload doughnut officially made it into stores on Monday (May 12), but was available at Krispy Kremes in Manchester a day earlier.
That was due to the fact Krispy Kreme had teamed up with the Mancunian brand, Blackmilk, to create the iconic dessert.
Blackmilk's beloved Pistachio Cream spread is being used in the baking of the new doughnut flavour.
The green delight is topped with the Blackmilk cream, a white chocolate drizzle and candied pistachio nibs, while Krispy Kreme's trademarked pistachio cream fills the doughnut.
Krispy Kreme confirmed to The Sun that Pistachio Overload will be available for £3.49 in all UK and Ireland stores until May 25.
It will land in Tesco UK branches on May 19 until May 25.
The UK shop that top star says should be on 'UK Heritage List' - as it's better than the Eiffel Tower
Krispy Kreme announced the doughnut's arrival on social media and said it hoped the news would make up for the April Fools' joke it had played on its followers.
On April 1, the brand posted a "message" from its managing director saying that after 87 years, it would be discontinuing its famous glazed doughnut.
The joke letter said the decision had been made in order to create space for the reintroduced, raspberry glazed doughnut.
The jam-filled treat was first discontinued in November 2024, causing a stir among sweet-toothed customers.
Even Alison Hammond begged the brand not to axe her favourite flavour on ITV's This Morning.
The flavour is back by popular demand thanks to a nationwide public vote - dubbed "The Great Doughbate".
This poll took place in Krispy Kreme shops and across social media between March 17 and 23.
Fans were given the opportunity to decide which discontinued favourite flavour to bring back.
The Glazed Raspberry was pitted against another fan favourite, Chocolate Custard.
However, the fruity flavour won out with the British public, receiving 66% of the total votes.

Money expert explains how to turn £25 a week into £1,300 'without lifting a finger'
We all know how important it is to have savings, but sometimes it can be tricky to know where to start - however Tynah Matembe, founder of Money Matix has shared her advice for those looking to make their money work harder Think saving's just for rich people or money nerds? Think again. Even chucking a tenner a week into a savings account can snowball into something serious. It's not about how much – it's about how often. Consistency is king. Here's the deal: banks love regular savers, and there are easy ways to save without even knowing. One of the best ways is to simply set up a standing order, and suddenly you're eligible for the top interest rates. We're talking juicy deals that beat letting your cash sit dead in your current account. And don't roll your eyes at 'interest' – that's free money just for having a bit of discipline. It comes after thousands of Brits to get shock letter from HMRC after drastic new tax rule comes into force. While your mate's blowing £6 a day on fancy coffee, you're quietly building a pot that could pay for a holiday, a house deposit, or bail you out in a crisis. However you may be still sceptical, so imagine if you save just £25 a week, that's £1,300 a year – without lifting a finger after you set it up. Add interest? Boom – even more. And if rates go up? You win again. Regular saving isn't boring – it's powerful and it's how smart people get ahead. So, skip one takeaway a week, set up that direct debit, and start building your financial safety net. Because when life throws you a curveball – or a golden opportunity – you'll be glad you've got cash in the tank. There is also an easy rule to follow to make your oney work harder. If you want your money to be in a good place, it's important not to blow it all at once on just day-to-day stuff. Following the 70:10:10:10 rule can help. At MoneyMatiX, we swear by it. Spend no more than 70% of your cash, stash away at least 10% for savings, pump another 10% into investments to grow your wealth, and don't forget to have fun or give back with the last 10%. Balance is everything - follow this and watch your money game go from zero to hero. Take your morning Starbucks, for example. Ditching that daily Tall Latte on your way to work could save you a staggering £851 a year. That's a holiday, your energy bill paid, or the breathing room and emergency fund sorted. The bottom line? You don't need to be wealthy to invest wisely - you just need to start today. And finally, remember volatility is normal. If your pension pot has dipped recently because of Trump's tariffs war uncertainly with the Government's plan, don't panic. Markets go through ups and downs – but investing and certainly investing in a pension is a long-term game, and history shows they do recover.

Holiday expert reveals exact time to book your tickets for August bank holiday flights & how you can save hundreds
HOLIDAY experts have revealed the exact time and date Brits should book their tickets ahead of the August bank holiday to save hundreds of pounds. It's not too late to book last-minute flight tickets for holiday trips over the August bank holiday weekend. Brits can still find ways to get out of the country that won't blow the budget for the weekend of August 25. This includes trips to classic European escapes and hotspots like Disneyland Paris. Ticket experts have analysed pricing data and industry travel trends. CEO of AttractionTickets, Oliver Brendon, explained: 'It's easy to assume the early bird always gets the deal. "In reality, travel companies adjust fares repeatedly based on demand, and we see opportunities appear even in the final days before departure. "There's still time to save on last-minute August bank holiday travel if you know when to book.' Brendon reveals the trick to finding value no matter how late the purchase is made. Through review of historic pricing, as well as industry reports, Sundays have been found to regularly deliver the lowest average booking prices. This is because airlines adjust seat availability and prices over the weekend. Therefore, holidaymakers who plan to book on Sundays can more often find a better deal and pay significantly less than those who book on other days. 3 tips to help you get the cheapest flights when booking holidays Furthermore, Fridays have been found to be time to avoid as it is the time when prices tend to spike due to increasing demand. A clear morning advantage has also been found through analyses. Around 6am is when the fresh fares tend to show up, so it is good to get in early before search traffic ramps up into the day. So those looking to book a getaway from the bank holiday this month should set their alarms for Sunday morning. Oliver adds 6am on Sunday, August 17 "both sit within the sweet spot before the long weekend and will give you a chance at potentially unlocking better pricing.' This timing tip comes from expert insights and data-driven research from travel and ticketing platforms. It also focused on last-minute booking trends by travellers in the UK. The advise follows suggestions from CEO of Ryanair, Michael O'Leary, who said flights could also be booked cheaper in the first two months of the year. Winter months are believed to be the best time of the year to find cheap air fares, as well as just before the peak of school holidays. Another study looked in to the best time to book flights for certain destinations. For Faro in Portugal, the cheapest flights for the summer holidays were found to be just five weeks before travelling. And for long-haul flights like to New York, the best time was found to be June to book for an August vacation. Other tips for saving money on flights Here are some of the best ways you can save money on flights Mistake Fares A mistake fare is essentially an error that occurs when airlines or travel agents accidentally list the wrong price for a flight. It might happen when airline staff accidentally leave out a zero — or two — while listing the cost of a ticket online. While the odds of airlines making these mistakes are fairly low, such incidents do occur from time to time — and travellers can save hundreds of pounds by just keeping an eye out. However, they will have to be quick as airlines will remove these prices as soon as they spot the mistake. Being flexible Being fussy about where you go on holiday can reduce your options for saving money. Going on Google Flights and clicking on the map instead of searching for a specific destination will show you the cheapest rates to a number of cities. That way you can make sure you head to the most affordable destination, or at least choose somewhere with cheap flights. Avoid pricey luggage additions Most airlines now charge extra for passengers to check luggage in during their flights and it's much more affordable to fly with just carry-on. So practice packing before you fly and make sure you can squash everything into a case or bag that will fit in the airline's hand luggage rules — it could save you a fair amount.
