These durian desserts have been introduced by McDonald's Malaysia as a series of menu items to offer patrons a new way to enjoy the popular fruit.
The menu lineup of durian treats includes the new D24 Durian McFlurry, the D24 Durian Sundar and the D24 Durian Hotcake, which are all infused with ample amounts of real durian fruit in the mix. This comes as a distinctly regional offering as durian is a popular fruit in many parts of Southeast Asia yet isn't favored by many in other parts of the world like Europe of the US.
The McDonald's Malaysia durian desserts will be available for a limited time only at participating locations in Malaysia and boast a cheery color that further enhances the satisfying nature of the treat.
