McDonald's debuts new dessert, but it won't stick around. When can you get it?
The new blueberry and creme pie arrived on menus Monday, June 30, at participating McDonald's restaurants nationwide, the fast-food giant said.
The berry-forward dessert features a pastry filled with blueberries and vanilla creme filling layered side by side, according to a product description.
The seasonal pie will stick around for a limited time, though McDonald's didn't say for how long. Pricing information also wasn't immediately available.
It's the latest iteration of McDonald's classic apple pie, the first dessert to join the menu in 1968, Eater.com reported in 2018. More than 40 variants have been released since then, including the switch from fried to baked pies in the early '90s, and a revolving door of seasonal flavors.
There's even a special holiday pie, made with a 'smooth custard nestled in a flaky, buttery crust' and topped with colorful sprinkles, McClatchy News reported.
'Outside the U.S., popular flavors include taro (China), sweet corn (Thailand), and berries and currant (UK),' according to Eater.com.
The blueberry and creme pie marks the newest addition to McDonald's dessert menu, which recently added a limited time Hershey's s'mores McFlurry.
Other treats include:

‘Hey, someone won,' lottery player says. Then he checks his Mega Millions ticket
A Virginia man learned somebody won a life-changing lottery prize — but didn't realize he held the lucky ticket. 'Hey, someone won at that little bodega,' John Willis said. 'Well, check your ticket,' his girlfriend responded. That's when Willis discovered he was the person who won $2 million in a recent Mega Millions drawing, the Virginia Lottery wrote June 27 in a news release. Willis bought his winning ticket at Chester Food Mart, a convenience store he often visits in Chester. He selected the Easy Pick option, meaning a lottery machine chose his ticket numbers at random. Then on April 29, the ticket matched all but one number picked in the drawing. No one hit the jackpot, and Willis won the largest Mega Millions prize in the nation that night, according to the game's website and previous McClatchy News reporting. Willis lives in Chester, a roughly 15-mile drive south from downtown Richmond. Lottery officials didn't say how much he kept after taxes. What to know about Mega Millions To score the jackpot in the Mega Millions, a player must match all five white balls and the gold Mega Ball. The odds of scoring a jackpot prize are 1 in 290,472,336. Tickets cost $5 and can be bought on the day of the drawing, but sales times vary by state. Drawings are held Tuesdays and Fridays at 11 p.m. ET and can be streamed online. Mega Millions is played in 45 states, Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
