Going bananas: McDonald's brings back crowd-favourite banana desserts

Attention all sweet-toothed seniors and aficionados!

McDonald's is stirring up nostalgia and excitement with the return of one of their famous dessert lines.

For those who have been craving the creamy, tropical taste of banana paired with the indulgent sweetness of caramel, your wait is over.


You can once again savour Macca's Banana Caramel Pie McFlurry, Banana Caramel Pie, and Banana Thickshake.

The Banana Caramel Pie McFlurry, a sensation since its debut in June 2020, is priced at $4.50.

It's a concoction that has captured the hearts of dessert lovers nationwide with its perfect blend of banana custard and caramel sauce, all swirled into Macca's signature soft serve.

The $2 Banana Caramel Pie and the $3 Banana Thickshake are also making a comeback, offering more ways to indulge in the banana-caramel goodness.

Macca's also introduced a delectable newcomer to the banana dessert lineup—the Banana Caramel Pie Chocolate McFlurry.

The new McFlurry is a rich pastry filled with banana custard and caramel sauce, nestled atop a choice of vanilla or chocolate soft serve.

It's a twist on the classic that could be a hit among those who love chocolate with fruity flavours.


These sweet treats are part of a delightful collaboration with the upcoming movie Despicable Me 4, which premieres on 20 June.

The Minions—the movie's mischievous, yellow mainstays—became cultural icons since their debut in 2010 and are now bringing their playful spirit to Macca's.

In addition to the desserts, there will be 12 mix-and-match Minion toys available with Happy Meals, creating moments of joy and connection for families and fans of all ages.

However, these desserts are available for a limited time only.

With Macca's bringing in limited-time offerings, fans expressed their dismay whenever they were removed from the menu.

Comments on McDonald's Australia's social media accounts ranged from pleas for a permanent spot on the menu to devastation when the desserts disappeared.


Amid the cost-of-living crisis, Macca's also introduced the McSmart Meal.

Customers can enjoy more value with a meal deal that includes two burgers, small fries, and a small soft drink for $6.95. The deal is available until 3 September.

With options like two Cheeseburgers, two Chicken' n' Cheese, or one of each, there's something for everyone.

The McSmart Meal is available nationwide and shows McDonald's commitment to providing great taste at even greater value.

So, whether you're reminiscing about the flavours of yesteryear or simply looking for a sweet treat to brighten your day, make sure to visit your nearest Macca's for these limited-time offerings.
