To commemorate the release of Shrek 5 in 2025, Dunkin’ has unveiled a new collection of donuts inspired by the beloved film series.
The selection consists of six donuts that showcase beloved characters, such as Gingy and the green ogre.
The donut collection is currently on sale, but those in the US who are fans of Dunkin’ may have to travel to Peru in order to try these green treats, as they are only offered there.
Famous American food blogger Snackolator shared the news of the donut collection on his Instagram, expressing disappointment that these “innovative”releases never seem to reach stores in the US.
For any Shrek enthusiast, these donuts are a must-try. Here’s a rundown of what’s on the menu:
- Shrek donut: Coated in lime green white chocolate flavored icing with Shrek’s face on the top, this donut is filled with pastry cream.
- Gingerbread cookie donut: This donut is decorated with Gingy’s face, and is a flavored gingerbread cookie donut with pastry cream filling.
- Ogre donut: This is a donut filled with dulce de leche and decorated with chocolate icing and an S in lime green with Shrek’s ogre ears.
- Pantadonut Cua Cua: This is a classic ring donut topped with chocolate icing and Cua Cua cookies, which are a popular chocolate and vanilla wafer snack available in Peru. The donut is then finished with a lime green drizzle.
- Oreo mud donut: This is also a classic chocolate ring donut, with Oreo crumb on top that looks like mud from Shrek’s swamp.
- Bubble charm donut: This is another chocolate ring donut, topped with green sugar pearls that look like bubbles in Shrek’s pond, all finished with a chocolate icing drizzle.
Some individuals who commented expressed their disappointment about the unavailability of these products in the US. Some even eagerly anticipated the different icing variations on the Gingy donut and speculated that it could result in amusing photos.
On the other hand, a different commenter offered a more optimistic perspective: “The absence of this in the United States could potentially be a blessing in disguise.”
“I am a fan of Dunkin’s recent practice of introducing new limited-time items every two months! This approach ensures that each item is distinct and not just something ordinary.”
If you are worried about not being able to try Gingy’s gumdrop buttons, do not worry because Dunkin’ has recently released a new line of iced coffee that will definitely help you beat the heat this summer.
