You've heard of "girls' dinner," but now it's time for "girls' desserts." It's just as easy to make as a basic cheese, crackers, and wine meal—all you need are a few toppings, some cookies, French fries, and *checks notes* six McDonald's ice cream cones. This tasty tip, which is going viral on TikTok, features the perfect combination of sweet and savory flavors, and once you know how to make it, you'll be sharing a container of the stuff with your BFFs in no time. Yes, a container .
The delicious dessert began circulating on TikTok after user @janelleandkate told FYP about the hack on July 26. In the video, we see two moms assembling the dessert in the car, presumably fresh out of a Mickey D's run, while demonstrating how it's made for the passengers in the backseat. Apparently the moms had done this before and started placing six vanilla ice cream cones face down in the container with the cones sticking out in the air. They then crush the cones with a spoon until they are mixed into the ice cream. "You want to break them up so you get a nice crunch in every bite," one mom suggested.

Next, they took some McCafé chocolate chip cookies and placed them on top, then separated them. They topped the dessert with a little chocolate syrup (which they ordered separately) and some sprinkles. Finally, the moms stopped digging with spoons and pulled out some McDonald's fries and started eating them. "Oh my gosh," the mothers said happily.
The creators later tried the dessert themselves on July 29, only this time they used McDonald's apple pie instead of cookies. "The best ice cream hack ever," the TikToker wrote in the caption.

Considering the OG TikTok has over 976,000 likes and 117,200 bookmarks as of August 4, don't be surprised if the lines at your local Golden Arches restaurant are longer than usual. Despite the viral sensation, users in the comments section seemed more skeptical of the unique formula. “You lost me on the french fries,” @tinariley3771 wrote. "Everyone is so creative!" @purplenurpple replied sarcastically. That being said, Ice Cream Hack has inspired many other creators to test it out, and the rave reviews speak for themselves. For example, @Strengthbysunny called the snack "totally worth it," while @patron_eats was left speechless.
No matter which side of the argument you're on, one thing's for sure: this viral McDonald's ice cream tip is sure to keep you cool on a hot summer day. If the ice cream maker works properly, that is.
