There's nothing quite like a fresh peach on a hot summer day and now Hardee's is giving you a new way to enjoy the beloved summer fruit with the launch of its new Peaches And Cream Fried Pie.
While Hardee's may be best known for savory fare like burgers, the arrival of the new Peaches And Cream Fried Pie adds a touch of sweetness to the menu. The dish consists of a turnover-style pastry crust filled with a layer of peaches and cream cheese. And just as the name suggests, this little hand pie is deep fried and served warm.
The new Peaches and Cream Fried Pie can be found now at all participating Hardee's locations nationwide.
