McDonald’s secret menu McFlurry let me drive to Drive-Thru

Fast food chains were built on convenience, reliability and, above all, speed. Because of these characteristics, I don’t necessarily expect gourmet discounts when I enter the Drive Thru line. Although some brands are working to increase their game with offers like the Black truffle menu By Shake Shack, the Deluxe Wagyu Steakhouse Burger From Arbys and the seasonal favorite Peach milk shake From Chick-Fil-A, others remain true to the classics.

This is the case of McDonald’s and its menu full of OGs Big Macs To Chicken McNuggets. While the chain publishes new objects and consistently brings favorites back (look at them, Snack pack), I admit that Mickey DS is usually not my point of contact for fast food innovation of the next level.

That means until a secret menu hack came to our desks here at allrecipes, in which I raced directly to the next restaurant.

The McDonald’s Affogato McFlurry is the menuack that we didn’t know we needed it

Just say the word drowned And I’m completely in there. I can taste the creamy, cold gelato and bitter, hot espresso that melts together on my tongue and imagine that I am sitting in Italy in a café. Imagine my surprise that a version of this Italian favorite can be ordered from … McDonald’s?

Thanks to Instagrammer, we came across the hack on social media for the first time @Tobywilson (through @Georgeegg), who makes the contribution with the statement: “This is really just a PSA, the Flurrogato must be well known.”

According to exclamation, such as “genius”, “groundbreaking” and even “McDonald’s sells espressos?” flooded the comment area. To @Georgeegg’s The original post also sells it by noticing this Cream Plus-Coffe combination: “Makes everything grown up, it is absolutely amazing … it is the McDonald’s Affogato, and you don’t even know that you are selling it.”

After some ditch turns out Posted a video A few years ago from a test kitchen chef who produces your own version with soft serve and espresso. And honestly? The Mcflurry of everything brings the dessert to a whole new level.

In addition, it is one of the simpler (and more delicious) Tricks of the trade out there: simply order The McFlurry of your choice And a single espresso shot. Pour the hot espresso over the frozen ice pleasureAnd voilà! They are also transported to Italy.

I tried the McDonald’s Mcflurry Affogato

After seeing the “McFlurry Gato” viral splash, I was happy to take on this task and try it myself. Although I expected confusion about my order, the cashier did not keep an eye when I an Oreo McFlurry and a Espresso shot (Although I heard the employees who confirmed “only a simple admission of espresso” while preparing it). Nevertheless, my affogato ingredients came out minutes later and I was ready to complete the pouring out.

The results? As expected, it was creamy and crispy from the ice and biscuits with a bold depth of the taste from the espresso. I personally think that the McFlurry is a small one-note for that Ice taste Even, the espresso added a wealth that is otherwise not there. The balance of hot and cold produces Affogato’s signature Beauty too. Is it as velvety and satisfying as a real Italian version Decadent Gelato? No. But the next time I’m on a road trip and I’m in a McDonald’s-Drive-Thru, I will definitely order another. In fact, I don’t think I can ever have a simple McFlurry.
