Fresh strawberries and homemade donuts in one sweet pastry? Sold.

Slowly making their way onto sweet tooths’ radars is the strawberry donut sandwich, a visually-appealing dessert that features a glazed donut split in half, stuffed with fresh strawberries and other sweet ingredients inside.

Curious to try it out? Check out these local bakeries that serve their own takes on the freshly-baked, sweet and tangy treat, ready for delivery around Metro Manila.

Gourmet Cravings

Anniel Prats, owner of small business Gourmet Cravings, makes her whole strawberry donuts from home, without any preservatives.

Everything is handmade – from the soft, powdered donuts that are slightly toasted on the outside, to the thick strawberry jelly that’s not too sweet nor sour.

The glazed donut sandwiches a heaping amount of fresh, sweet, and whole strawberries and a generous amount of jelly. It might seem like a lot going on, but the sweetness of it all is actually well-balanced. The classic strawberry-filled donuts cost P95 a piece, with a minimum of 6 pieces per order.

Gourmet Cravings also offers another variant – the strawberry cream cheese bombers – which includes a light, vanilla cream cheese filling that works well with the strawberries. These cost P130 a piece.

Gourmet Cravings is located in Almanza Uno, Las Piñas City. For orders, you can message them on Facebook.
