About Boston Cream Donut Nutrition
Voted as Canada's favorite donut year after year, the Boston Cream is a masterpiece of yeast-risen dough, Venetian cream filling, and chocolate fondant topping.
Surprisingly, the Boston Cream is actually a "middle-of-the-road" option nutritionally. At 240 calories, it has significantly fewer calories than the Apple Fritter (330) or the Chocolate Glazed (330). This is because the yeast-risen dough is airier and holds less fat than the cake-style donuts.
Health Tip: If you're looking for a satisfying treat that won't completely derail your day, the Boston Cream is a better choice than most glazed cake donuts. Check out how it fits into your day on our Full Nutrition Calculator!
