Valentine's Day is just around the corner and McDonald's is helping consumers get into the spirit with its Strawberry & Crème Pie.
Though not a brand-new item, the returning Strawberry & Crème Pie is a fan favorite that will only be available for a limited time. The delicious take on the brand's signature hand pie pastries starts with a pairing of juicy strawberries and vanilla-flavored crème, baked side by side in a flaky, sugar-coated pastry crust.
McDonald's Strawberry & Crème Pie has already started popping up at select restaurants nationwide and should be available more widely in the weeks leading up to Valentine's Day. Just be sure to grab one fast, because they won't stick around for long.
