McDonald’s has berry quietly expanded its dessert options.
The Blueberry & Crème Pie became available at restaurants on Friday, June 27, and will be available nationwide through most of the summer (expected departure date is Sept. 1). The dessert, described as “a twist on the classic McDonald’s sleeved pie,” according to the fast food chain’s online menu spotter, is made with blueberries and vanilla crème and is served warm.
Available while supplies last, the pie has made limited appearances in 2023 and 2022 after its 2017 debut.
The Blueberry & Crème Pie, which joins another recent sweet menu addition, the Hershey S’mores McFlurry, arrives ahead of another long-awaited menu revival – that of the Snack Wrap. The wrap, made with one of McDonald’s McCrispy Strips, topped with lettuce and shredded cheese, returns to the restaurants permanently on Thursday, July 10.
Also available as of Tuesday, July 1: New Lil McDonald’s Happy Meals, which come with one of 21 new McDonald’s-related toys including miniature versions of a checkout register, food trays, french fries, seating booth and soft drink machine.

Social media reacts to return of Blueberry & Crème Pie
The return of the pies is cooking up some excitement online – on Instagram, Threads to TikTok and X.
“It’s nice and warm. The blueberry has this tartness that helps throughout to contrast against this cream,” posted TikToker kotaroprince. “Very subtle. I wish it were a little bigger. This is actually a good pie.”(This story has been updated with corrected information.)
