The first time I ever tried Popeyes was right in the middle of that initial chicken sandwich craze, and while that may qualify me as a bandwagon fan, I don't care. I don't plan on getting off. Especially now that the chain has introduced yet another deep fried dessert: Strawberry Cheesecake Pie.
In case you're not a Popeyes regular, here's the deal: the menu has featured a rotating roster of crowd-pleasing pies like Pumpkin Cheese, Pecan, Bourbon Fudge, and Cinnamon Apple. All of which deserve their own praise, but there's a new pie in town and it's the deep fried, turnover-style Strawberry Cheesecake Pie.
If it sounds a bit familiar, it's likely because Popeyes did release a similar-sounding Strawberry 'n Cream Cheese Pie a few years back. The previous pie had a straight up strawberry and cream cheese filling while the new pie is loaded with strawberry pie filling, graham cracker crumbs, and actual cheesecake.
