Though Popeyes is known for its fried chicken, the chain may soon become a go-to dessert spot with the debut of its new Peanut Butter Banana Pie. Like two desserts in one, this new dish combines the best of banana pudding with the taste of peanut butter pie.
Popeyes' new Peanut Butter Banana Pie is a limited time dessert that is only available until August 25th. The dessert itself starts with a graham cracker shell that boasts notes of peanut butter. The outer crust is then filled with "a smooth banana Bavarian filling," which is topped with both peanut butter-flavored candy chips and chocolate drizzle. According to a press release from the brand, the new Peanut Butter Banana Pie expertly combines the best of peanut butter and banana into one tasty dessert.
