McDonald's have recently launched a highly-anticipated new McFlurry, with fast food and ice cream fans keen to give it a try.
The limited edition Lotus Biscoff McFlurry landed in restaurants across Scotland and the rest of the UK on June 21, costing £1.99 a pop. But there is a way to create the taste sensation at home, for a lot less per portion, according to Japan-101.
The team calculated how much it would cost you to create your very own version, with tasty ingredients for less available at Aldi. Making it even more tempting, the recipe is super symptoms with only three ingredients and a microwave required to complete the dish.

A spokesperson from Japan-101 commented: “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.
