These two ladies got it goin’ on. To start, you’ll need to bring a large square food container that can fit at least six ice cream cones comfortably. You’ll also want to bring a container of sprinkles from home.

Here’s what to order:

• 6 vanilla ice cream cones
• 3 McBakery chocolate chip cookies
• Side of hot fudge
• French fries (for dipping)

Start by taking the ice cream cones and flipping them ice cream side down in the container. Grab a plastic spoon and start crushing the cones into the ice cream until they’re thoroughly mixed in. Layer the chocolate chip cookies on top and begin smashing them into your beautiful ice cream concoction.

Drizzle over the hot fudge, finish with sprinkles and dip your McDonald’s fries to your heart’s content!

How Else Could You Hack McDonald’s Ice Cream?

While this hack is wonderful just the way it is, there’s always an opportunity for something new. Try adding peanuts, strawberries, bananas and whipped cream for a giant banana split. Add in crushed Oreos for cookies and cream action, or even some M&M’s for a massive makeshift McFlurry. However you mix it, it’s going to be tasty.
