The expensive doughnut that will set you back $1,683
The world’s most expensive doughnut was recently unveiled at a London department store. The expensive treat clocked in at a staggering ?1,000 (about $1,683).
Krispy Kreme created this swanky doughnut with all-things fancy in mind. It’s filled with vintage Dom Perignon champagne jelly and Chateau d’Yquem creme with a passion fruit glaze on top. The whole doughnut is decorated with gold-dusted Belgian white chocolate lotus flowers, butterflies, ivy and blossoms, 24-carat gold leaves and edible diamonds.
BUT WAIT — there’s more. The world’s most expensive doughnut was presented atop a cocktail of 500-year-old Courvoisier de L’Esprit Cognac, passion fruit and raspberry syrup with more vintage Dom Perignon. Because there’s never really a limit to Dom Perignon when it comes to doughnuts.

Unfortunately, the world’s most expensive doughnut isn’t for sale. You can snag a more affordable version at Selfridges in London for about $807 per dozen. These chichi treats feature 24-carat gold leaves, white chocolate butterflies and flowers.
Krispy Kreme presented a check for ?10,000 to The Children’s Trust. The Children’s Trust is a leading UK charity for kids with brain injuries. The money was raised from sales of its doughnuts during National Doughnut Week in the UK.
The world’s most expensive doughnut might also cause a severe case of the world’s worst diabetes.
