Mark Isreal, whose wild imagination drives the Doughnut Plant on the Lower East Side, has come up with an irresistible new delicacy, a crème brûlée doughnut. It’s bursting with rich custard and topped with shiny, crackling toasted sugar.
“I first made the vanilla cream a year ago,” Mr. Isreal said. “But everyone makes a doughnut with vanilla cream and I wanted to do something different.”
So after three months of work he is content with this creation. He hand-pipes cream into the doughnut, sugars the top and takes a blowtorch to it for the glaze.
They are $2.75 each, only at his store: 379 Grand Street (Essex Street), (212) 505-3700. (Other varieties can be found at places like Gourmet Garage), NY TIMES
