The donut starts off with a [yeast ring](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parlor-doughnuts-fresh-picked-dozen) that's cooked to perfection before being filled with a Bavarian cream and dipped in chocolate. The donut is then topped with ample pieces of crushed chocolate sandwich cookies and a few stripes of yellow icing to give it the appearance of a crumbling roadway. The Voodoo Doughnut Pothole doughnut is being offered at participating locations now through Sunday, June 1, 2025 only and can be picked up in-store or ordered online. The donut is arriving alongside the Churro Cheesecake doughnut that offers a new take on the [classic Latin dessert](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summer-donut).
