According to the fast food chain, the dessert features vanilla soft serve blended with real banana and strawberry clusters and chocolatey, crunchy pieces of Kat Kat wafer bites.

The company also announced the return of the Smoky BLT Quarter Pounder, which first debuted in 2022.

According to McDonald's, the BLT sauce is seasoned with paprika, parsley, and black pepper, giving the sandwich a "sweet and tangy, savory and garlicy sauce that has a lingering smokiness."

The sandwich will be available as a Smoky BLT Quarter Pounder with Cheese and also as a Smoky BLT Double Quarter Pounder, according to the fast food chain.

The fast food chain will also launch its Special Grade Garlic Sauce on July 9 inspired by supernatural anime "Jujutsu Kaisen."

The sauce will only be available for a limited time, and exclusively on the McDonald's App, according to the company. It takes inspiration from McDonald's Japan's Black Garlic Sauce, offering a unique mixture of garlic and soy sauce with slight tangy sweetness, the company said.

The Special Grade Garlic Sauce will feature eight unique lid designs based on characters from the anime.
