Review: McDonald - Cherry and Creme Pie

McDonald's Cherry and Creme Pie features a sugar-coated crust and a dual-piped filling of sweetened cherry and vanilla-flavored creme.

I bought one for 89 cents.

The cherry flavor wasn't all that distinctive but didn't taste like cough syrup either. If I didn't know it was cherry I might have guessed it was "some sort of berry."

Still, it was pleasant enough. In texture, it was like warm jelly rather than jam or preserves. There was nary an actual cherry in sight.

The vanilla-flavored creme complemented the cherry filling well and provided a slightly sweet creaminess and just a touch of vanilla.

The crust offered a classic flaky pie crust feeling with an extra bit of sweetness.

At the end of the day, McDonald's Cherry and Creme Pie comes together rather well. It's fairly mild in general but was enjoyable. It might be better with some actual chunks of cherry though.
