Chick-fil-A enthusiasts are buzzing with excitement over the return of a long-missed fan favorite. After a 13-year hiatus, the fast-food giant has announced the revival of its beloved Banana Pudding Milkshake, and the timing couldn’t be better for loyal customers craving a taste of nostalgia.
The delectable shake promises to be as indulgent as ever, made with Chick-fil-A’s signature “Icedream” ice cream, blended with sweet cream, ripe bananas, banana puree, and crushed vanilla wafer cookies. This hand-spun treat is crowned with whipped cream, more vanilla wafer crumbles, and a cherry on top—a true celebration of classic Southern flavors.
Chef Christy Cook, the culinary mastermind behind this revival, shared her excitement with USA Today. “I can’t tell you how many times people have asked me about the Banana Pudding Milkshake,” Cook said. “It’s been a staple request at family gatherings and casual chats, and we’re thrilled to bring it back.”
The Banana Pudding Milkshake isn’t just a flavor blast from the past; it’s a hefty dose of nostalgia wrapped in a cup. With about 880 calories, 155 grams of carbs, 25 grams of fat, and 13 grams of protein, this shake is designed to be a decadent treat rather than a health-conscious choice. But as Cook noted, “When I think about banana pudding, I think of family reunions and community. That’s the vibe we want to bring with this shake.”
In addition to the shake, Chick-fil-A is also introducing a new Banana Frosted Coffee. This caffeinated delight combines cold-brewed coffee with Chick-fil-A’s signature Icedream ice cream, banana, and vanilla wafer cookie crumbles. It’s a perfect blend of morning pick-me-up and sweet indulgence for fans of both coffee and banana pudding.
While the return of the Banana Pudding Milkshake is a major win for fans, Chick-fil-A won’t be adding traditional banana pudding to its regular menu. For those seeking this Southern classic, it remains available exclusively at Chick-fil-A’s sister locations in Georgia, such as Truett’s Grill, Truett’s Chick-fil-A, the Dwarf House, and the Dwarf House in Hapeville.
Both the Banana Pudding Milkshake and the Banana Frosted Coffee will be available for a limited time, from August 26 through November 16, or while supplies last. Past experience shows that these limited-time offers tend to disappear quickly, so fans are encouraged to act fast.
Adding to the excitement, the Banana Pudding Milkshake will make its comeback on the same day Chick-fil-A introduces a spicier version of the Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich, which promises to be even more flavorful than last year’s original creation.
Chick-fil-A’s move to bring back these nostalgic treats underscores the brand’s commitment to delivering memorable dining experiences that resonate with their loyal customer base. With the revival of the Banana Pudding Milkshake and the launch of the new Banana Frosted Coffee, it’s clear that Chick-fil-A is serving up a hefty dose of sweet satisfaction this fall.
