This spring, McDonald’s is adding a new McFlurry flavor to their menu and it might just be their best ingredient combo yet, involving Oreo cookies and strawberries. The Strawberry Shortcake McFlurry has been available in Singapore year-round for a while now, but on April 3, it’s coming to the United States! 

Can’t wait another week to taste this sweet treat? Me neither, which is why I hacked the copycat recipe at home so you can make it before it ever hits the menu.

What Is a McFlurry?

A McFlurry is a flavored ice cream mixture sold at McDonald’s since 1998. It is made by combining their vanilla soft serve ice cream with different “add-ins” such as Oreo cookies, M&Ms candy and more.

The McFlurry is served with a special spoon with a hole in it that is attached to the blender when mixing.

What Ice Cream Does McDonald’s Use in the McFlurry?

The ice cream used in a McFlurry is the same vanilla soft serve McDonald’s uses for its cones and sundaes.

In 2016, they started to phase out all artificial flavors from their vanilla ice cream, trying to regain customers who had said the product didn’t taste as good.

What Is the Most Popular McFlurry Flavor?

While there have been many flavors of McFlurries over the years—including Twix, Rolo, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, M&Ms, and even a seasonal Shamrock Shake—the #1 choice has always been the Oreo cookie McFlurry.

Mixing chocolate sandwich cookies with creamy vanilla soft serve makes for a cookies and cream treat people can’t get enough of.

In Singapore, strawberry syrup is mixed with an Oreo McFlurry for a flavor match made in heaven.

What Does It Taste Like?

Many people have questioned the “shortcake” title, but that’s what McDonald’s chose, so who are we to argue? Others have said it tastes like a chocolate-covered strawberry more than a shortcake.

 Best Tips

• Vanilla bean ice cream would have an even more intense vanilla flavor.
• Use Golden Oreos for a true shortcake version.
• Start with 2 tablespoons of milk, but you might need more to blend.
• Save a little money and use store-brand chocolate sandwich cookies.
• Strawberry syrup can be found with other sundae toppings.
• The syrup is better layered than blended to avoid it being too watery.
• This recipe will make 1-2 depending on your serving glass size. To fill the tall ones I used, I had to make two batches.
