29 June 2021, Australia: Have you heard the scoop? Macca’s is launching a new, limited- edition ice cream creation, the Birthday McFlurry, because it’s not a birthday party without dessert.

Made up of Aussie’s favourite birthday flavours, the new Birthday McFlurry features bite-sized pieces of custard pie, mixed in with creamy soft serve and topped with caramel sauce and birthday sprinkles.

The Birthday McFlurry will be available exclusively via Uber Eats from tomorrow (30 June) for one week only, before landing in restaurants nationwide on 7 July for a limited time only.

Amanda Nakad, Marketing Manager, McDonald’s Australia said, “Our new McFlurry flavour was inspired by iconic Aussie birthday party favourites including Birthday Cake and Fairy Bread, to create a nostalgic and delicious dessert that will put everyone in the birthday spirit.

“New McFlurry flavours are always a hit with our customers, so we thought this would be a delicious way to continue our 50-year celebrations.

“In response to strong customer demand, we will also be reintroducing a much-loved and highly requested crowd favourite, the Custard Pie, giving Aussies even more reason to celebrate our 50-year milestone.”

The launch of the Birthday McFlurry and return of the Custard Pie are the latest announcements from Macca’s 50th birthday celebrations in Australia.

From June until the end of August, customers will be given countless reasons to celebrate with a range of awe-inspiring brand partnerships, collaborations, promotions and new menu items.

The Birthday McFlurry and Custard Pie will be exclusively available via Uber Eats from Wednesday 30 June for one week only. They will then be available in all Macca’s restaurants nationwide and via McDelivery from Wednesday 7 July, for a limited time only.
