I tried the new McDonald’s Lotus Biscoff McFlurry to see if it lives up to the hype

The hugely anticipated brand new Lotus Biscoff McFlurry was released at McDonald’s restaraunt’s across the UK and Ireland today and naturally I couldn’t wait to try it out.

There has been a huge hype about the limited edition dessert online and following months of anticipation, McDonald’s fans can finally get their hands on the new menu item from today (Wednesday, June, 21.)

The fast food chain celebrated its first day of selling the exciting new flavour today and of course as a big Biscoff lover I was at the front of the queue to check it out.

The “McFlurry of dreams”, as it has been referred to by excited fans on social media, is described on the McDonald’s website as “a soft dairy ice cream swirled with caramel sauce and topped with crumbled Lotus Biscoff pieces” – sold.

I went to my local McDonald’s branch to check it out. Given the hype online I’d expected to queue, so I was quite surprised that people in Yorkshire didn’t appear to be as excited as I was about the new addition, but we move on.

For reference I feel the need to make it clear that McFlurrys in general don’t excite me quite this much. I was more of a hot caramel sundae kind of girl, which I still cannot for the life of me understand why they were discontinued, and don’t even get me started on still Fanta… But that’s a grumble for another day.

Anyway, I arrived at the eerily quiet drive through and ordered my McFlurry, I half expected them to tell me they had run out so I was delighted to hear “next window please.”

I secured the goods and found myself a spot in the car park where I could dive into the creamy, biscuity goodness and got stuck in. My expectations were high and it fully exceeded them.

The ice cream to biscuit ratio was perfect and it was not only drizzled with heavenly Biscoff sauce on the top but I was also delighted to find a second helping of sauce half way through, which made for the perfect texture and flavour throughout the entire three seconds that it lasted.

Maybe I’m easily pleased but the consistency impressed me greatly, when I’ve had McFlurrys in the past the first few mouthfuls are nice sure, but once you’re past the topping, it’s a mediocre vanilla ice-cream and that’s being kind.

However, this was a different breed of McFlurry, it was scattered all the way through with crunchy biscuit and had hidden pockets of sauce.

It was that nice that I’m almost concerned that the person who made this particular McFlurry was somewhat of a specialist, a McFlurry wizard if you will, and I might never get one again that meets its standard again. Should I even attempt to have another one and risk that disappointment?!

A bold statement but I would even go as far as saying it was the nicest McFlurry I’ve ever had and if, like myself, you’re a Biscoff fan in general, you will undoubtedly love these – it’s impossible not to.

It’s safe to say the new limited edition Lotus Biscoff McFlurry comes highly recommended from me and I’m still debating going getting another!

The limited edition biscoff flavour is only available in the UK and Ireland and can be bought for £1.99 at all McDonald’s restaurants across the UK and Ireland now.
