American international fast food restaurant chain Wendy’s has expanded its dessert menu by introducing the Orange Dreamsicle Frosty.

The new menu addition blends sweet orange flavours with the chain's signature smooth vanilla Frosty.

Wendy’s added that its Orange Dreamsicle Frosty is the latest in a series of seasonally-inspired Frosty variations, following Strawberry, Pumpkin Spice, and Peppermint flavours.

Available for a limited period, the Orange Dreamsicle Frosty will replace the Vanilla Frosty on the menu.

It will be sold alongside the classic Chocolate Frosty at participating Wendy's locations across the US.

The Wendy's Company US chief marketing officer Lindsay Radkoski said: “We continue to see so much passion from our customers to try new, seasonal Frosty flavours. With Orange Dreamsicle Frosty, we're building even more Frosty fandom with our first-ever spring-inspired Frosty flavour.

“Orange Dreamsicle Frosty delivers sweet nostalgia in every bite.”

Last month, Wendy’s partnered with Cinnabon to introduce a new breakfast menu item, Cinnabon Pull-Aparts.

The sweet pastries are made from Danish dough, glazed and baked with cinnamon, brown butter and sugar, topped with Cinnabon’s cream cheese frosting.

Wendy’s breakfast menu already offers sandwiches, French toast sticks and seasoned potatoes.

Established in 1969, Wendy's is known for its made-to-order square hamburgers, salads, and other signature items such as chilli, baked potatoes and the Frosty dessert.
