Lilac-Colored Soft Serve

McDonald's Hong Kong is Selling Purple Ice Cream in Oreo Cones

With summer in full swing, McDonald's Hong Kong is giving its soft serve an upgrade with rich and chocolaty Oreo cones. With the dark black cones as a base, each soft serve flavor looks like a gothic take on a popular summer treat.

One of the most buzz-worthy of these new treats is the purple sweet potato ice cream. Served in one of the Oreo cones, the lilac-colored soft serve looks almost too pretty to eat. However, fans should not hesitate to scoop up one of these sweet treats as they are only available for a limited time at McDonald's locations across Hong Kong

For those who are uninterested in potato-flavoured ice cream, McDonald's Mexico locations are serving up the Oreo cones with a sweet cookies and cream ice cream dubbed the Cono Oreo.
