The dessert starts with the brand's classic vanilla soft serve in a cone that is then dipped into a sweet, creamy butterscotch dip. This creates a hard shell over the ice cream that will increase the [sweet flavor profile](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnamon-roll-bliss) of the dessert and transform it from summertime-ready into a cooler weather indulgence. The Dairy Queen Butterscotch Dipped Cone showed up previously at a small number of select locations, but is available now at all restaurants for a [limited time only](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dairy-queen-holiday-menu).
