The Israeli bakery chain Metuka has introduced a new line of Hanukkah doughnuts, creatively incorporating popular dessert flavors into the traditional sufganiyah. This year's collection features unique combinations such as Tiramisu, fresh strawberry Sabrine, Black Forest with amarena cherries, Banana Loti with banana ganache and toffee caramel, and a Mentos-flavored doughnut.
The bakery's offerings aim to reimagine the classic sufganiyah by blending it with familiar desserts. Metuka's collection is available for purchase at their branches and online, with prices ranging from 15 to 16 shekels per doughnut.
During a taste test of six varieties, reviewers found the Caramel Profiterole doughnut to be a delightful combination of two desserts in one. The Praline doughnut, with its hazelnut-flavored ganache reminiscent of Nutella, was noted for its generous filling. The Black Forest doughnut, featuring Swiss chocolate ganache and amarena cherries, was described as a well-balanced, chocolatey, and sweet option.
Particularly surprising was the Banana Loti doughnut, which reviewers, despite not typically liking banana flavors, found unexpectedly delicious due to its fresh banana ganache, cream, and white chocolate with toffee caramel coating. The Gianduja doughnut, filled with hazelnut and milk chocolate and coated with hazelnuts, was also highly praised, with reviewers suggesting it was worth returning for.
The Mentos doughnut, filled with Mentos candy ganache and coated with white chocolate and Mentos candies, received a less enthusiastic review for its "industrial" taste but was predicted to be a hit with children. The new Hanukkah doughnut collection will be available leading up to the holiday.
