Described as the Turducken of donuts, this epic filled donut combines a tasty types. Created by Kim Laidlaw at CHOW, the epic food hybrid (photographed by Chris Rochelle) might look like a simple chocolate-dipped and sprinkle-covered treat on the outside, but is actually full of surprising delight on the inside.
The dessert consists of an apple fritter wrapped in a custard-filled donut and then glazed and garnished. Described as "a cream-filled, double-fried, chocolate-glazed vector of desire," the pastry is the result of recipe testing.
The sweet stuffed snack is for those who are not only obsessed with donuts, but for those who enjoy combining surprising items of food, such as the original meat-based turducken or even the cronut. It could also serve as inspiration in your own kitchen.
