While most brands are doubling down on pumpkin products this fall, Popeyes is going in a different direction with the debut of its new Blackberry Cheesecake Fried Pie.
Though most people know of Popeyes because of its fried chicken, the brand also does have some standout desserts. The latest addition to the growing dessert menu is the new Blackberry Cheesecake Fried Pie. This sweet treat consists of a deep-fried, turnover-style pasty shell that's been filled with a blend of real sweet cream cheese and blackberry puree. The result is the taste of blackberry cheesecake, but in a handheld format.
The new Blackberry Cheesecake Fried Pie can be found now at participating Popeyes restaurants nationwide for a limited time.
