I picked up the McDonald's Holiday Pie on my way home from work tonight. When I originally saw it advertised I thought it sounded potentially awesome. I believe it was described as a sugar cookie style pie filled with Bavarian cream. That sounds a bit like a Eclair and a Sugar Cookie had a baby. I LOVE Eclairs and Long John Donuts and I like Sugar Cookies. Had to try this. I stopped a few weeks ago and they had not arrived yet. I then promptly forgot about it. It was on the menu when I stopped tonight and I remembered how great it originally sounded. In tasting it I think it is OK. Not great, but not bad. The crust is flaky and sweet. I really like the sprinkles, but I'm a sprinkles kind of girl. The filling is the part I'm not so sure about. I read a review that described it as tasting like yellow cake and I agree with that. The gooey texture means that it really seems like raw yellow cake batter. I like batter, but not when I am looking for Bavarian Cream. Final Judgement - Interesting to try, not worth the calories, I'd rather have the cherry pie. I do not feel the need to get it again.
