# Churro-Inspired Dipped Cones Dairy Queen Has a New Churro Dipped Cone for Summer 2023 By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2023-03-16 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/churro-dipped-cone References: [brandeating](https://www.brandeating.com/2023/03/dairy-queen-introduces-new-churro-dipped-cone.html)  You know that summer must be just around the corner because [Dairy Queen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/confetti-cake-dipped-cone) has just dropped a delicious new frozen treat: the Churro Dipped Cone. For those unfamiliar, a Dipped Cone consists of Dairy Queen's creamy soft serve encased inside a hard, flavored coating. The new Churro Dipped Cone is a delicious twist on this classic treat, taking the brand's sweet vanilla soft served and dipping it in a churro-flavored cone coating. The whole thing is then sprinkled with cinnamon-sugar topping, just like the fried pastry dessert of the same name. The idea is that you're meant to get a "cinnamon sugary crunch" in each bite of this delicious ice cream treat. The new Churro Dipped Cone will be available throughout summer 2023 at all participating Dairy Queen locations nationwide.
