Who doesn’t love McFlurry’s, shakes, and hot fudge sundaes from McDonald’s? While we love these treats, the real dessert winner at McDonald’s is the soft serve and although it’s basic, this soft serve proves that simple is sometimes better. But, the best thing about this creamy treat is that it’s on the fast-food restaurant’s dollar menu. When you crave a simple, but decadent sundae, McDonald’s is the place to go. One this they don’t have on their menu are floats, which are made with ice cream and soda—two things the fast-food restaurant has. And that’s where this latest trend comes in—people are dunking ice cream cones in Coke.
The drink is called a black cow and it’s super popular in Guatemala, Costa Rica, and Columbia, where it’s called a vaca negra. It’s made by combining vanilla ice cream with Coca-Cola.
While you currently can’t order a float at McDonald’s in the U.S., they did experiment with a McFloat for a while. Until they add it back to their menu, you can make your own as it’s pretty easy to make. All you have to do is fill a cup half-full with Coke or any other soda you choose and put your ice cream cone inside. Swirl the cone until the soda becomes frothy. It really is that simple!
