Starting with an oversized [Oreo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/confetti-cookie-dough-mcflurry) cone, the treat is made with a pudding-flavored soft serve that has been topped with two curved churros that have been positioned to resemble the iconic gold arches. The ice cream dessert has been unveiled alongside a series of other treats and coincides with the brands official name change anniversary to [Golden Arches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rice-krispies-treats-ice-cream) that took place last year. The McDonald's ice cream pudding dessert can be enjoyed at participating locations in China for a limited time only.
