Ranked: the best fast food desserts of all time
Starting out as a market stand in Downingtown, Pennsylvania in 1988, this US-born chain was founded by real-life 'Auntie Anne', Anne F. Beiler, along with her husband Jonas. Since then, it's quietly expanded throughout America and across the globe, with branches in 30 countries including the UK, Ireland, India and Japan.
Only available at Hungry Jack's (as Burger King is named in Australia), the Storm is a rich, creamy sensation people can't get enough of. Similar to a McDonald’s McFlurry, this ice cream dessert is packed with biscuits, candy or sweet toppings.
Not to be mistaken for the brand's popular apple pie, the McDonald's Corn Pie quickly garnered a cult following after initially launching in Thailand. Its pastry case is packed with creamy corn, for the perfect sweet and salty finish to a McDonald’s feast.
If there’s one thing McDonald’s loves doing, it’s launching country-specific items, and India’s McSwirl is a fabulous example. Essentially, this is a softly whipped vanilla ice cream cone that’s smothered with a light, hardened chocolate covering.
Burger King’s desserts are often overlooked but, when the burger giants launched the Hershey’s Sundae Pie, fans clamoured to get a bite of the action. It’s made up of one part chocolate crust and one part chocolate crème filling, before being topped with a fudge drizzle and real Hershey’s chocolate chips.
American hamburger chain, White Castle, first opened in 1921, and is still best known for its Original Slider. But those with a sweet tooth can head here for its Cheesecake on a Stick. Just as the name suggests, this a frozen cheesecake dessert – on a stick.
