Earlier today, McDonald’s announced the return of the purple sweet potato soft serve on its Instagram page. The crowd-favourite ice cream – which previously went viral for its pretty lilac colour – will be available from 11am onwards on March 28 for a limited time at McDonald’s outlets across Singapore.
The sweet potato soft serve was first introduced in 2019 and served in a dark-coloured waffle cone unlike the regular McDonald’s ice cream cone. In 2020, it made a brief comeback before it was removed from the menu again. This will be the first time in four years that McDonald’s is bringing back the popular soft serve.
The ice cream is said to be rich and creamy, and it’s also likely that Japanese sweet potatoes are used in the soft serve, given the Japanese words in the Instagram post.
Along with the ice cream cones, there’s a possibility that McDonald’s will also be bringing us other sweet potato snacks, as the chain's Instagram post hinted that “new purple sweet potato treats” will be available on the 28th.
Check out McDonald’s Instagram page for updates on the new menu items. Meanwhile, make sure to save the date and get your hands on the popular ice cream while it’s still available.
