The McDonald's Dulce de Leche Frappe is a limited time offering from the QSR brand crafted with a dessert-like taste and texture experience in mind to provide customers with the perfect option to try out this fall.
The drink is being added to the brand's fall 2024 menu and starts off with a blend of ice, caramel coffee Frappe base and a new dulce de leche-flavored syrup. The drink is then topped with whipped cream and additional crunchy caramel pieces to provide additional texture into every sip.
The McDonald's Dulce de Leche Frappe comes as an artisan-inspired take on the classic caramel flavor profile that prioritizes richer, nuttier and more complex tasting notes that consumers are gravitating towards.
