Dairy Queen is turning up the heat this summer as it reveals its brand new warm ice cream menu items. The items combine hot and cold dessert treats like warm apple pie and cool, creamy ice cream.
These decadent warm ice cream desserts will include a triple chocolate brownie featuring a traditional warm brownie topped with saucy chocolate and chocolate chunks. There will also be an apple tart to resemble a comfort food-styled apple turnover that is topped with brown sugar and drizzled with caramel sauce. The last item is a chocolate chip cookie stuffed with warm fudge in the middle.
Dairy Queen is home to some delicious cold creamy desserts but this mouthwatering menu is about to change things up.
