The highly-anticipated limited edition McDonald’s Lotus Biscoff McFlurry has hit UK restaurants priced at £1.99, abd the team at Japan-101 has calculated the price it would cost you to make your very own McDonald’s style McFlurry for just 27p. Using ingredients from Aldi, the price of the components that make up the famous dessert has been calculated. The recipe is simple: you only need three ingredients and a microwave.
Ingredients list:
- Strachan's Scottish Traditional Dairy Ice Cream 2litre – Price per 49g serving £0.09p
- Belmont Caramelised Biscuits 250g – Price per 8.4g biscuit £0.04p
- Belmont Biscuits Smooth Biscuit Spread 400g – Price per 15g serving £0.14p
Altogether, the price comes out as 27p per serving. That’s £1.72p less than the original £1.99p price, making around seven servings for the price of one McFlurry.
Steps:
1. Spoon the biscuit spread into a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on a low setting for 10-20 seconds or until a runny consistency.
2. Scoop a serving of ice cream into a separate bowl.
3. Top the ice cream with a serving of crumbled caramelised biscuits.
4. Pour the melted biscuit spread on top.
5. Grab a spoon, and you’re done!
A spokesperson from Japan-101 said: “The Biscoff McFlurry is one of the most in-demand menu additions finally coming to the UK. Kids are bound to love it, but at £1.99 each, the cost can add up. By using Aldi ingredients, parents can make a version at home at just 27p per portion, serving seven for the price of one from McDonald’s. It’s a really simple recipe that requires only three ingredients and a microwave, and kids can get involved in creating their own toppings, too”.
