While Popeyes may be known for its fried chicken, the chain recently expanded its dessert lineup with the addition of the new Raspberrry ‘N Cream Cheese Pie. Joining the chain's current offerings of Cinnamon Apple Pie, Pecan Pie and Mardi Gras Cheesecake, the sweet new dish is a summery take on a traditional turnover.
The new Raspberrry ‘N Cream Cheese Pie is a limited-edition sweet dessert option that is designed to complement the chain's new summer menu. The dish itself is a fast food take on the classic turnover, boasting a deep-fried crust and a creamy filling made up of cream cheese mixed with a sweet raspberry puree. Because it is smaller than a normal slice of pie, the sweet dish can be enjoyed either as a dessert or a convenient on-the-go snack.
