Few flavors capture the essence of summer quite like a creamsicle, and now Burger King is bringing that nostalgic favorite to its menu in frozen drink form. The new Orange Dreamsicle Freezee King blends sweet citrus and creamy flavors into a refreshing treat designed to help fans beat the heat. But this frosty take on the classic ice cream truck favorite is just one of several surprises Burger King has planned for the season. The chain is also rolling out a lineup of limited-time menu innovations, including a spicy, cheese-loaded twist on the iconic Whopper and a popping, flavor-packed dessert inspired by backyard summer celebrations. Read on to know more about the icy new drink and the other warm-weather offerings heading to Burger King restaurants nationwide.
The summer season is officially in full swing, and Burger King is marking the occasion with three menu additions that blend bold innovation with nostalgic comfort. Here is a breakdown of what you can order on your next Burger King run:
Orange Dreamsicle Freezee King
Serving as the flagship launch for BK’s newly branded frozen innovation platform — the Freezee King — this drink is pure childhood nostalgia in a cup. It perfectly captures the classic, retro “creamsicle” flavor profile by combining a slushy, frozen orange base with a decadent layer of orange cream cold foam and matching sprinkles.
Loaded Jalapeño Whopper
Born from the popular “Whopper By You” initiative, this guest-inspired creation delivers the intense heat fans have been craving. The burger features a quarter-pound (4.4 oz pre-cooked) 100% flame-grilled beef patty stacked with a dual threat of crispy and pickled jalapeños. It is layered with a creamy jalapeño sauce, melted American cheese, crisp lettuce, and juicy tomatoes.
Firecracker Cookie Pie
Ringing in a historic summer as America celebrates its 250th birthday, this festive dessert offers a unique “chilled crunch” texture. The treat features a velvety, smooth cream filling layered over a crisp sugar cookie crust, all finished with a patriotic burst of red, white, and blue star-shaped sprinkles.
“As the weather heats up, we know our Guests are craving for fun flavors that they and experience and share,” said Joel Yashinsky, Chief Marketing Officer, Burger King US&C. “Whether they’re looking for a full meal or a sweet or savory snack, these new limited time menu items deliver the type of innovation guests have been asking for, and we’re continuing to listen and give them what they want.”
Fortunately, you won’t have to wait to sink your teeth into these seasonal flavors, as Burger King’s nationwide rollout for its limited-time summer menu started today, June 2.
Burger King fan-favorites are sticking around for the summer
And that’s not all — Burger King is also keeping a couple of fan-favorite limited-time items on the menu so guests can enjoy them all summer long. To keep fans’ cravings satisfied from June through the dog days of August, the following limited-time creations are officially staying on the roster:
Bacon Swiss BBQ Whopper
This heavy-hitting flavor profile starts with a quarter-pound (1/4 lb. pre-cooked) 100% flame-grilled beef patty. It comes piled high with crispy bacon, melted Swiss cheese, crunchy pickle chips, fresh lettuce, and juicy tomatoes, all brought together by a generous smothering of rich, creamy BBQ sauce.
Cheddar Ranch Tots
A certified crowd-pleaser, these bite-sized sides offer the perfect crunch on the outside while remaining light and fluffy on the inside. Each golden potato tot comes stuffed with warm, melted cheddar cheese and is tossed in a savory ranch seasoning blend.
