Make a McDonald's McFlurry

Among the dessert items McDonald's carries, the McFlurry is one of the most popular, especially during the summer times. All employees should know how to make one just in case. Making this delicious ice cream treat isn't so hard, once you know how.

Steps

  1. Select the appropriate cup. Snack sized or regular depending on which the customer ordered.
  2. Fill the cup with ice cream. When it won't fit anymore hit the bottom against a counter top a couple times. Then fill it some more. It should be full but leaving just a little bit of room at the top.
  3. Cap the treat. Place the open cap over the treat.
  4. Pour in the appropriate mix-ins using the slider typically located above the ice cream machine.
    • M&Ms get one shot of M&M's for snack sized, two for regular.
    • Oreo's get one shot of crushed up Oreos for snack sized, two for regular.
    • Twix ones get one scoop of Twix mix and one full pump of hot caramel for both.
  5. Place the McFurry spoon inside of the cup. Mix it up a little and move the spoon to about the middle of the treat. This'll make it easier to blend. Do not place the spoon all the way to the bottom.
  6. Connect the end of the spoon to the blending machine. While holding the cup with one hand, turn the machine on with the other. Ensure you have a firm grip on the cup.
  7. Stir for about 10 seconds. Making sure to go all the way to the bottom and around the sides.
  8. Turn the machine off and then pull it off.
  9. Serve the treat to the customer with a napkin or two.

Tips

  • This is just a general guideline of how to make a standard McFlurry. This can change with each customer.
  • Do not push too hard while blending. The cardboard cup is not hard and will break if you're too aggressive. Causing a mini explosion of ice cream.
  • These treats are messy. Don't fret if you get ice cream everywhere.
