Let’s be honest—nothing says “adulting successfully” like tiny donuts covered in coffee-flavored glaze and placed delicately next to vegan cheese.
This mocha-glazed situation crashes your charcuterie board like a fabulous ex at brunch—bold, dramatic, and leaving behind sticky memories.
The glaze tastes like your morning espresso had a flirtation with chocolate and zero regrets.
Vegan donuts? Absolutely. Because cruelty-free sweetness deserves a seat next to every smoked nut and bougie cracker on that board.
So grab your donut pan, fake a Pinterest-worthy setup, and pretend you’re classy, not spiraling over a plant-based snack tray.
