I thought jelly donuts were an American thing, but apparently it’s also a German thing at @berlin65_ig. The Berliner ($8++) is a fairly hefty donut that’s stuffed with your filling of choice. Choose from apricot jam, strawberry jam or a vanilla banana custard that oozes out of the hol-I prefer not to speak. If I speak I will be in big trouble. And I don’t want to be in big trouble.⠀

Anyway, the Berliner may look laughably simple, but there’s more to it than meets the eye. The insides are doughy yet airy, with a charming chewiness & fabulous fluffiness, but the exterior is the most peculiar of all. It’s a layer of crispiness that shatters to give way to the fluffiness of the donut, and it’s almost like Berlin65 took a donut and tanghulu’d it. It’s incredibly satisfying texturally, and combined with the sweet & sour apricot jam that’s been pumped in, this is a deliciously fructose filled dessert that will absolutely sate any sweet tooth.⠀

If Berlin65 started selling these Berliners in boxes of half dozens to the plentitude of surrounding offices, they’d be rolling in the dough. Thank you for inviting us, @berlin65_ig & @scalecollab.sg!
