Nothing says summer like strawberries, which is why Popeyes is freshening up its dessert menu for the season with a new Strawberry Cheesecake Cup. The new dish gives fans a summery alternative to the brand's usual fried pie dessert options.
Popeyes recently expanded its dessert menu nationwide with the launch of the Strawberry Cheesecake Cup. This summer-ready dessert consists of a graham cracker crumb crust topped with a rich and creamy cheesecake filling and strawberry purée. The new dessert comes in a single-serving size and a sealed plastic container so you can easily take the cake to go.
The new Strawberry Cheesecake Cup can be found at participating Popeyes restaurants nationwide this summer for a limited time.
