McFlurry Hash Brown Sandwich

If you’ve ever dipped your French fries in ice cream, then you already know this McFlurry Hash Brown Sandwich is going to be a banger. This unlikely combo seems so wrong that it just has to be right lol. It’s hot, cold, sweet, salty crispy and creamy – all in one chaotic bite!

We recently shared that we're on a weight loss journey. But growing up, we used to loveee us some McDonald’s after school. That’s why when we saw this trend, we knew we had to share it. And if you think it sounds weird, well, that’s because it is. BUT, that’s what makes trying new things fun! Don’t knock it ’til you try it.

What stands out

Yeah, we know, it sounds like something a pregnant woman would invent in the kitchen. But hold up – this weird combo actually kinda slaps! You get the cold creamy sweetness with the warm salty crunch and your mouth is all, ‘Wait, what IS happening? But also… we like it?’ So, ditch the boring snacks and try this deliciousness. You might just find your new guilty pleasure (or at least a funny topic for your next group chat).

How to Prepare

Add a scoop of the Oreo McFlurry between two cooled down hash browns and enjoy!

Tips

• Rise and shine! Make sure you go during breakfast hours to get your hash browns! Most locations don’t serve them all day.
• Pray to the gods of the Golden Arches the ice cream machine isn’t down.
• Let your hash browns cool slightly before assembling so they don’t melt your McFlurry.
• Have your camera ready, obviously!

Kitchen tip

Let the hash browns cool slightly before making your sandwich so they don’t melt the ice cream.
