The Boston cream doughnut descends from the Boston cream pie (Parker House Hotel, 1856) but in doughnut form. The pastry-cream-filled, chocolate-glazed doughnut emerged in early-20th-century New England bakeries; Dunkin' Donuts (founded 1950 in Quincy, MA) made it a national category through its franchise network. In 2003, the Massachusetts legislature designated the Boston cream doughnut as the official state doughnut. The Boston version is always YEAST-raised, never cake; the filling is pastry cream not whipped cream; the glaze is dark chocolate not milk.
