DX Frosted Donut delivers a classic doughnut profile: sweet vanilla frosting over soft, yeasty dough with a light fried accent—formulated without added diketones (DA/AP). Ideal as a bakery base or to add creamy body to berry and dessert mixes. Use: Concentrate that must be diluted. TFA flavours are water-soluble and PG-carried; some may contain traces of ethanol.

Tips for this flavour

- Fried dough boost: 0.05–0.15% Acetyl Pyrazine + 0.2–0.5% Brown Sugar (use sparingly).
- Filled doughnut: 0.5–1% Vanilla Swirl/DX Bavarian Cream for a creamy center.
- Fruit spins: strawberry/blueberry, apple + pinch of cinnamon for “fritter”; lemon for bright icing.
