Spring has sprung and so has the seasonal menu at [Church’s Chicken](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peach-cobbler), which includes a sweet new Strawberry Cheesecake Fried Pie.

[Church's Chicken's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-banana-pudding) new Strawberry Cheesecake Fried Pie is a [seasonal dessert](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strawberry-cobbler) that's perfect for warmer weather. The delicious new treat consists of a hand-held, turnover-style pie filled with a sweet strawberry puree that's been layered with cream cheese and graham crackers just like a real strawberry cheesecake. The whole thing is wrapped up in a flaky pastry crust that's been fried until golden brown and drizzled with sweet white icing.

And if you're looking for a way to double down on strawberry flavor, you can pair the Strawberry Cheesecake Fried Pie with the brand's new Wild Strawberry Drink. This drink involves adding a pump of strawberry syrup to any Tea or Lemonade.
