The limited-edition 'Lemon Meringue Doughnuts' are the brainchild of artisan sourdough bakers Sonoma, who took their signature sugar doughnuts and stuffed with lashings of lemon curd and a thick slice of toasted meringue.
The treats, which are described as the 'perfect balance of tart and tangy', are available for a limited time, from now until Sunday, August 15, and for the following two weekends.
Available exclusively at Sydney and Bowral Sonoma stores, the indulgent $6 doughnuts are marketed as the perfect treat to lift the spirits of locked-down Australians lucky enough to live within 5km of a participating bakery.
