At this year's annual San Diego Fair, the Texas Doughnuts both was offering up a tasty Fireball whiskey banana donut. This delicious treat was presented to guests in a pancake-sized form. The base of the decadent dessert was a traditional fluffy donut that was then drenched in Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey glaze. It was then topped with sliced bananas and topped off with a caramel drizzle with a scoop of whipped cream.
This glorious Fireball banana donut was offered to fair attendees through a food truck-styled booth. This perfect carnival-esque treat is a great indulgence for the summer season.
Texas Doughnuts is always seeking new an exciting ways to bring playful twists to traditional treats. Last year the team created a pop rock-infused donut.
