Many of us know the feeling of crushing defeat when you try to order a McFlurry at your local McDonald’s only to find out the machine is broken.
But one woman in the Philippines discovered a way to recreate McDonald’s beloved sweet treat in the comfort of your own home.
Better yet? It has only three simple ingredients, and you don’t even need a blender.
Cha Sampan told Insider that she has always been "really obsessed" with McDonald's Oreo McFlurry.
She said she came across a recipe for homemade ice cream on Facebook and was inspired to modify it to make her own McFlurry at home.
"In just one attempt, it turned out delicious," she said.
Sampan's ingredient list is simple:
- 216 milliliters of condensed milk
- 250 milliliters of heavy cream
- One pack of Oreos (or any cookie with a cream filling)
To begin, mix the heavy cream and condensed milk. Sampan advises doing this in a plastic container and recommends putting in only half of the milk at first so that you can give the mixture a quick taste test.
"If the sweetness of the mixture is not enough for you, add the other half," she said.
After that's all mixed together, put the Oreos in a plastic bag and crush them with your hands (or whatever you can find in your kitchen).
Once you've crushed the cookies to your heart's desire, mix them into the cream mixture.
Then put the container in the freezer and wait four to five hours, until the mixture is set.
Sampan advises against checking on the ice cream before four hours, because it will make your wait time even longer.
If you're not happy with the consistency of the ice cream after four hours, Sampan recommends freezing it for an extra hour.
While Sampan first posted her homemade McFlurry recipe on Facebook two years ago, it recently caught the attention of the UK food site Twisted and then got picked up by other major outlets.
Sampan said she was shocked by all the recent interest but is glad that people are using her recipe to find some joy while they're stuck at home.
"The reason why I posted my recipe is because I wanted everyone to know that we can make something in our kitchens with very limited tools and equipment," she told Insider.
"There are so many treats that we can make in our kitchen, but I believe that McDonald's McFlurry ice cream can help make our boredom go away during this pandemic," she said.
Earlier this month, McDonald's revealed how to replicate its sausage-and-egg McMuffin at home.
The recipe requires just five ingredients - eggs, a potato, sausage meat, an English muffin, and a slice of American cheese - and comes with handy step-by-step instructions.
So whether you prefer savory or sweet, you can still find ways to recreate your favorite McDonald's treat.
