Something amazing has happened.
Somehow, McDonald’s knew that Cherry Ripe was one of my fave chocolate bars, and they have created a delicious new McFlurry, flavour inspired by the much loved chocolate bar. Creamy, sweet soft serve meets all things iconically Cherry Ripe; sweet cherry sauce laces the soft serve, finished with flecks of dark chocolate. There is just one problem… they are only here for a limited amount of time *sadface.
We all know that ice cream isn’t the best for us in the long run, so once we have all indulged in a couple (or nine) of these little gems before they leave us, I have found my top 5 healthy ice cream sundae recipes inspired by the new McFlurry; so you can still enjoy a cheeky ice cream sundae without feeling too guilty about it.
Chocolate, banana, almonds, caramel and all the other things we love about dessert still feature in the following recipes, and you would never know that they were on the healthier side of the sweet treat spectrum. These recipes nearly made me want to lick my screen, and I will no doubt be whipping one of these up when I can no longer pop up to McDonald’s to buy myself my new favourite treat.
