Looking to offer cooling summer refreshments in new ways, Krispy Kreme Korea introduced a new ice cream donut sandwich range it is calling 'Kool Kreme.'
The unconventional ice cream sandwiches trade the traditional cookie bun for whole donut slices and a scoop of soft serve ice cream with a drizzle of syrup in classic flavors like caramel, chocolate and strawberry. These decadent dessert sandwiches are topped with a sprinkling of powdered sugar and a decorative nut that sells for just under $3.
While Krispy Kreme donuts are beloved for being served warm with sticky glaze, these Kool Kreme treats new to Asia will provide a refreshing way to sate a sweet tooth, cool off in the summer and introduce a hybrid snack.
