How to Make Boston Cream Donut at Home?
Tims fills these from the side with a vanilla custard and finishes them with a fondant rather than a ganache, which is what gives the top its matte snap. This version copies both.

Tips
- Oil temperature matters more than timing. Below 170C the donuts drink oil, above 185C the outside colours before the centre proves out.
- The pale band around the middle tells you the dough was proofed correctly. No band means it was underproofed.
- Fondant sets matte after 20 minutes. Ganache stays glossy, which is the giveaway that a copycat used the wrong topping.
Variations
- Swap the vanilla custard for a chocolate pastry cream to copy the Chocolate Creme Brulee Filled Timbit flavour at donut size.
- Skip the filling and you have a Chocolate Dip, which is the same price on the Tims menu.
- Bake at 190C for 12 minutes instead of frying for a lighter version, though the crumb turns closer to a bun.
Serving Ideas
- Serve alongside a black Original Blend coffee so the fondant is not competing with a sweetened drink.
- Cut into halves for a platter and the custard pocket shows, which reads better on a table than whole donuts.
Boston Cream Donut Questions
How much is a Boston Cream Donut at Tim Hortons?
A single Boston Cream Donut costs $1.79 at most Canadian locations. Buying it inside a six pack or dozen brings the per donut price down. Prices shift by restaurant because each one is franchise operated.
How many calories are in a Tim Hortons Boston Cream Donut?
It carries 240 calories, with 8 g of fat and 16 g of sugar. That puts it in the middle of the donut case: lighter than a Dream Donut and heavier than a plain Honey Dip.
What is inside a Boston Cream Donut?
A yeast raised donut shell, a vanilla custard filling piped in from the side, and a chocolate fondant coating on top. It contains wheat, soy and milk, so it does not suit anyone avoiding gluten or dairy.
Is the Boston Cream the same as a Chocolate Dip donut?
No. A Chocolate Dip has the same chocolate fondant but no filling, and it costs the same $1.79. The Boston Cream adds the vanilla custard centre, which is what makes it heavier at 240 calories.
What goes best with a Boston Cream Donut?
A black Original Blend coffee cuts through the fondant better than a sweetened drink. A medium runs $1.83. For a cold pairing, an Original Iced Capp at $3.99 leans sweeter and turns the pair into a dessert order.
