McDonald's brand new Lotus Biscoff McFlurry has arrived in UK restaurants today

McDonald's is finally launching the Lotus Biscoff McFlurry in its UK and Ireland restaurants starting today (21 June).

The limited-edition frozen treat is already an international bestseller having been sold in McDonald's abroad in previous years.

The UK was lagging behind in that department, but that has all changed now.

The new Lotus Biscoff McFlurry will be a part of the McDonald's 2023 summer menu, and fans are lovin' it.

This hotly-anticipated treat features the deeply caramelised-tasting biscuit swirled onto the soft serve McFlurry ice cream, along with a sauce, for an extra crunch.

McDonald's fans have long had this new flavour of the popular biscuit on their wish list after previously begging on Twitter for it to appear.

One expectant user wrote: “Lotus Biscoff McFlurry needs to make an appearance in the UK.”

And another fan begged after a trip abroad: “A Lotus Biscoff McFlurry in the Zagreb McDonald’s last night @McDonaldsuk pleaseeeeeeeee at this to the menu in the UK”

That is just two of thousands of comments to crop up over the years urging McDonald's to introduce Lotus Biscoff in the UK, and now the fast-food chain has delivered.

Anticipation for the new dessert item was so big that McDonald's hosted a taster lunch break where free Lotus Biscoff McFlurry were available for fans to get their hands on one.

While there were only a few McFlurries available for fans to try, those lucky ones certainly had a nice lunchtime treat at Queen's Stone in London.
