Summer is just around the corner and Hardee's is learning hard into those fresh summer flavors with the launch of its new Blueberry & Lemon Cream Cheese Fried Pie.
Available as a limited time dessert option, the new Blueberry & Lemon Cream Cheese Fried Pie is a fresh take on a classic hand pie. The new dessert consists of a flaky, turnover-style pastry crust that's been stuffed with blueberry filling and lemon-flavored cream cheese, and then fried until golden brown. The mix of fruity and creamy flavors is a pairing that mimics the Peach and Cream Fried Pie that the chain introduced last year.
The new Blueberry & Lemon Cream Cheese Fried Pie is available now for a limited time.
