Macca's drops the price of highly anticipated dessert to 30 cents

McDonald’s Australia has announced it has slashed the price of its newest menu item for one day only, costing Aussies just 30c.

McDonald’s Australia recently announced the chocolate iteration of its iconic soft serve ice cream is now a permanent fixture – and today, Aussies can score it at a huge discount.

After trialling in select stores across NSW, Queensland and South Australia over the past 12 months, the decadent flavour is on menus in all restaurants, via the MyMacca’s app or McDelivery – “doubling” the Golden Arches’ dessert range.

But, for December 13 only, Aussies can score a chocolate soft serve in a cone for just 30 cents.

It can be purchased in store or via the MyMacca’s app.

McDonald’s Australia has announced the chocolate iteration of its iconic soft serve ice cream is now a permanent fixture.

“We’re saying cheers to summer with a Chocolate Soft Serve Cone for just 30 cents,” Samantha McLeod, McDonald’s Australia’s marketing director, said.

““Swirled and served in a crispy, wafer cone, our rich and creamy Chocolate Soft Serve is now available nationwide.

“We’re excited to welcome summer and offer Macca’s fans our iconic Soft Serve with a delicious twist.”

Although not 30 cents, Aussies can also transform beloved sundaes and McFlurrys using the chocolate soft serve.

To mark the “highly anticipated” launch, Macca’s is taking the new flavour “on tour” from now until February 10, with a soft serve van travelling across the country to select locations in Victoria, NSW, Queensland, Western Australia and South Australia.

“This summer is chocolate soft serve summer,” McDonald’s Australia senior brand manager Liz Whitbread said.

“With chocolate soft serve being our biggest addition to our permanent dessert’s menu since the McFlurry, it’s only fitting we celebrate in a big way.”

It comes after the most-requested McDonald’s product ever – the McRib – made its return to Aussie shores last week, for a limited time only.

First introduced in the US in 1981, the McRib contains a boneless pork patty shaped like a small rack of ribs, and is plated up with smoky BBQ McRib sauce, pickles and onions.

The burger has been requested by fans across social media more than 327 times in the last year – and is returning to Australia for the first time since 2020.

Alongside it, the Chicken Big Mac, Onion Rings, and a Tim Tam Chocolate McFlurry round out Macca’s summer menu offerings.
