McDonald’s 

Dulce de Leche is a popular South American dessert that’s been loved by the world as different dessert forms and flavors were created from it. Although its exact origins are unknown, it will always have a taste of home, especially for Latinos, where this dessert is homegrown in their countries. 

It’s a good thing that McDonald’s is stepping in to bring the taste of home and share a part of someone’s culture as well by serving up the iconic flavor in a frappe form. Introducing the Dulce de Leche Frappé, which blends the flavor into a frappé as an extra sweetener.

With the launch of this new frappe flavor, McDonald’s is teaming up with rising Mexican actor Iñaki Godoy, who is best known for his role in Netflix’s live-action hit ONE PIECE. Together, they are inviting fans to enjoy McDonald’s new Dulce de Leche Frappé, which is now available at participating locations nationwide for a limited time only.

They are serving up free samples of the Dulce de Leche Frappé.

From The Club

Wow! I’m so excited to taste these holiday goodies that I can’t choose what to eat first. But since it’s the holidays, I might just get one of everything that I’m eyeing. Perhaps Dunkin’s Brown Sugar Oat Iced Matcha Latte and TooJay’s Red Velvet Cheesecake Delight would be great for starters! I’m also interested in McDonald’s Dulce de Leche Frappé as someone who eats Dulce de Leche cake for dessert. 😋
