Lidl launches budget alternative to Biscoff McFlurry – just as McDonald’s axes the popular ice cream from stores

After McDonalds announced it’s axing its popular Biscoff Mcflurry from the menu, ice-cream fans up and down the country went into a flurry.

Luckily Lidl is on hand with a brand new buttery biscuit fix as an alternative and shoppers are loving it.

The budget superstore are now selling Gelatelli Premium Speculoos Ice Creams for £2.49 for a box of three, costing just 83p per pop.

The treat consists of a rich, velvety speculoos-swirled ice cream centre, coated in lashings of speculoos sauce and a layer of decadent milk chocolate with speculoos (Biscoff) pieces.

Biscoff fanatics can now get their crunchy caramel fix straight from their own freezer – and at a fraction of the price of McDonald’s Biscoff McFlurry.

Customers can choose from two sizes – a pack of 3 regular ice creams for £1.99 and three minis for £1.49.

The sweet treat is part of Lidl’s core range, meaning it’s here to stay.  

The release comes just one week before McDonald’s is set to axe its Biscoff McFlurry from menus.

The release of the flavour was much anticipated and so fans will have been disappointed to see that it is no longer available. 

But customers only have until August 1 to get their hands on the ice cream before it disappears for good.

Also leaving the fast-food restaurants menu is the Double Big Mac burger, which can be served with or without bacon and the Spicy Sriracha Wrap.

The three items were on the menu for only one month as part of a limited selection.

However the burger joint announced its updated summer menu, with six additions arriving now in stores.

The fast-food chain is revamping its menu for summer starting next week on 2nd August.

Fans can expect to see the return of family favourites such as Cheesy Garlic Bites, Galaxy Salted Caramel McFlurry and Galaxy Chocolate McFlurry.

The new update also sees a fresh twist on the classic Quarter Pounder and a the new McCrispy Deluxe.

The twist on the chain’s first ever permanent chicken burger is made with a 100% chicken breast fillet in a crispy, crunchy coating with a tantalising combination of hot and spicy mayo, with the addition of cheese and bacon for extra flavour.

The McCrispy Deluxe will set you back £6.09 as an individual order, £7.79 for an Extra Value Meal.

The BBQ Quarter Pounder with Cheese is a reimagined take on the classic burger and it features a 100% beef patty topped with the brand’s smokey BBQ sauce.
