Introducing the Maccas Creme Brulee Mcflurry

<p dir="ltr">Sydney-based FoodToker Adrian Widjonarko (<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@adrianwidjy">@adrianwidjy</a>) dropped this exciting news recently, revealing that two new, limited-edition desserts will be available at select Macca’s stores from Thursday the 17th of February onwards.</p><p dir="ltr">The first one is a crème brûlée pie, which is like Macca’s classic apple pie but with two different fillings: custard and caramel.</p><p dir="ltr">The second dessert is a McFlurry, but instead of the usual toppings, Macca’s iconic soft serve is accompanied by smashed up crème brûlée pie pieces and a generous drizzle of caramel sauce.</p><p dir="ltr">Crème brûlée expert, food blogger Adrian managed to get his hands on the desserts early, and he reckons they are amazing. But in his opinion, the pie is better.</p><blockquote class="tiktok-embed" style="max-width: 605px;min-width: 325px" cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@adrianwidjy/video/7064755092708248834" data-video-id="7064755092708248834"><section><a title="@adrianwidjy" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@adrianwidjy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@adrianwidjy</a> This is too good!
