Dunkin’ Donuts Latest Cold Brew Is Topped With Salted Whipped Cream

The ever-popular combination of salty and sweet just keeps finding new ways to manifest itself in our food, and this time it’s in the whipped cream topping of a cold brew coffee.

Dunkin’ Donuts announced a new beverage called the Sweet & Salted Cold Brew, in an official press release, today. The drink utilizes Dunkin’ Donuts’ Cold Brew Coffee, which is then sweetened with liquid cane sugar and topped with a brand new Salted Whipped topping. While the official make-up of the topping is proprietary, we’re guessing it’s a sweetened, salted whipped cream.

According to Dunkin’ R+D Technologist Janet Rock, the new beverage was inspired by a salty-sweet coffee in China. While salted caramel is already a common flavor on the Dunkin’ menu, going for this new salty whipped topping is a new, gutsy move that came out of more experiments by Dunkin’ Donuts’ R+D team to innovate around the salty-sweet combination.

Apparently, adding a pinch of salt to whipped cream helps to keep it stable, so it’s not unheard of to put salt into whipped cream. It also plays into the sweet-salty dessert combination that the entire world is obsessing over these days.

Vanilla Truffle Donut Silo

Also coming to the Dunkin’ Donuts menu as a part of this release, is a new Vanilla Truffle Donut, which has a vanilla creme filling and is topped with white and dark chocolate curls.

The two new products are only available for a limited time, but are now in Dunkin’ Donuts nationwide.

I’ll definitely be checking this new salty-sweet concept out.
