Yeast-raised dough with a soft, open crumb gets filled after frying with Bavarian cream, then capped with a smooth chocolate glaze. The filling is cool and custard-like, more like pastry cream than whipped cream, while the topping adds a thin cocoa layer over the browned dough. It's one of the original signature donuts and still sits in the permanent lineup. Because it's filled rather than ring-shaped, each bite changes a bit: some lean creamy, others more doughy with chocolate on top.
