Why You May Want to Avoid Dunkin' Donuts' New Salted Whipped Cream

Mar 11 2017 - 7:30am

In case you missed it, Dunkin' Donuts just released a brand-new drink: the Sweet & Salted Cold Brew [1]. Reviews on release day were somewhat mixed, with many saying the whipped cream was straight-up salty. I finally got my hands on this drink to try it for myself, and here is what I can tell you. The whipped cream is indeed salty. Tasting it on its own, you get all salt and really no sweet. If you let the whipped cream settle a bit, it'll sink into the coffee but not really affect the flavor. Going off a suggestion that someone provided about stirring the whipped cream into the drink, I tried that and found it didn't change much. By doing that, the coffee took on a bit of the creaminess from the whipped cream but didn't pick up any of the saltiness, so in my opinion, that was good. I'm a fan of the salty and sweet combination, but on this one, I didn't feel like I got much sweet. Maybe if I had presweetened my cold brew, it would have been better — but I'll save that for another day.
