McDonald's Indonesia has introduced new desserts inspired by the Despicable Me 4 film. The offerings include the 'Banana McFlurry,' which features McDonald's signature soft vanilla ice cream infused with banana flavor. This McFlurry is available with two topping options: OREO or Sprinkle Crumbs, both highlighting the iconic yellow color of the Minions from the Despicable Me franchise.
Additionally, McDonald's presents the 'Choco Caramel Pie,' a warm and crispy dessert with a double filling of caramel and chocolate, developed to include real OREO flavor. These new desserts are available exclusively at McDonald's Indonesia and provide a delightful experience for fans of the Despicable Me films for children and adults alike.
Likewise, to celebrate the film, the packaging on the McFlurries and Choco Caramel Pie features the Minions for an added touch.
These exclusive desserts will be available for a limited time until September 11.
