Starbucks is known for how it’s reinvented the coffee shop. One of its greatest contributions to the world of espresso drinks is the Frappuccino, which—let’s face it—is more of a dessert than coffee. With names like Java Chip, Vanilla Bean, and Strawberries and Crème, they sound like flavors of ice cream. Building on this dessert-in-a-cup idea is Starbucks Japan’s new American Cherry Pie Frappuccino. Beyond decadent, it features a domed lid that’s made out of a pie crust. So in addition to a straw, grab a fork, too!
According to the Japanese food blog Entabe, the edible lid is just the beginning. Beneath that, the Frappuccino features a base layer of cherry compote with a vanilla-flavored drink that includes bite-sized pie pieces. Atop the sugary liquid is a smattering of whipped cream. The experience of enjoying this unique drink is akin to eating a slice of fruit pie with a side of ice cream.
If you’re local to a Starbucks Japan, get your taste buds ready. The American Cherry Pie will be available from April 13 to May 16, 2017.
