I recently shared that I’m on a weight loss journey. But growing up, I used to loveee me some McDonald’s after school 🍟. That’s why when I saw this trend, I knew I 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.

Why You’ll Love Viral McFlurry Hash Brown Sandwich

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… I 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!

Nonna’s Tip 🍨

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

I was born and raised in Sofia, Bulgaria and learned how to cook at the best culinary school in the world – my grandma’s kitchen. I lived in Greece on the Island of Crete with my parents for a while and then moved to Toronto, Canada when I was in grade 5. I started to really cook and experiment with food 11 years ago when I was 21 years old. Everything I currently know is a reflection of some part of my life…
