Sweet Cheese QSR Pastries

The McDonald's Cheese Danish Offers a Blend of Textures and Tastes

The McDonald's Cheese Danish is being added to the McCafé Bakery menu to provide consumers with a sweet yet slightly savory treat to enjoy with their favorite coffee this fall.

The baked good features a light, flaky pastry that's filled with a sweet cream cheese to give it just the right amount of sweetness and cheesiness. The pastry is finished with a buttery streusel topping along with a light vanilla drizzle to balance out the crust with additional sweetness.

The McDonald's Cheese Danish is being launched as an all-day pastry for patrons to order on its own, as a dessert or as a treat to enjoy with a coffee beverage. The pastry is arriving to grow the brand's existing roster of premium baked goods.
