Inspired by the classic Boston cream pie, this popular donut variety envelopes silky-smooth pastry cream in a light and airy yeasted doughnut, then tops it off with a chocolate glaze. Sweet enough to be a dessert, these doughnuts also make for a decadent breakfast or snack with a cup of coffee. They also have very similar vibes to chocolate eclairs.
