Deconstructed Cupcake Desserts

Dairy Queen is Serving Up Two New Cupfections This Spring

— April 14, 2019 — Lifestyle
Sundae lovers get your spoons ready because Dairy Queen just announced the debut of two new Cupfections for spring. Unlike your classic Dairy Queen sundae, these new treats are like two desserts in one.

Dairy Queen's Cupfections are essentially layered sundaes that combine classic desserts with creamy vanilla soft serve. The new Summer Berry Cupfection is a bit like a deconstructed cupcake in a bowl, with hunks of vanilla cake mixed with raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, vanilla soft serve, chocolate chunks, and whipped topping. On the other hand, the new Brownie and Oreo Cupfection combines sweet vanilla soft serve with pieces of Triple Chocolate Brownies, crumbled Oreo cookies, chocolate sauce, and fluffy marshmallow topping.

With spring in full swing, these new desserts are perfect for sunny days.
