Indulgent Two-Toned Desserts

Outback Has a Towering New Thunder & Lightning Dessert

Outback is giving your a delicious new way to end your meal with the launch of its new Thunder & Lightning dessert.

For years, Outback has been serving up a fan-favorite dessert called Chocolate Thunder from Down Under, which takes a pecan brownie and tops it with ice cream and hot fudge. Now the brand is offering a tasty twist on this classic treat with the launch of the new Thunder & Lightning dessert. This new version takes the same brownie and tops it with a slice of sweet and rich Butter Cake, ice cream, whipped cream, and chocolate shavings. The whole thing is then finished with fresh strawberries.

The new Thunder & Lightning dessert is available now at participating Outback locations nationwide for a limited time.
