Friendly's Strawberry Cheesecake Cake Singles

[New for 2019] Of the four "new" Friendly's cake singles, this is the only one that's truly a fresh flavor that's not a rehash of an earlier sundae to go flavor. No cheesecake isn't at the top of my priority list, but I do adore graham!

Unlike the chocolate one, the pretty whipped topping poof is still completely intact on this one. I cheat and taste a crunchie, and then the whipped topping, and then the... ohh, oh my that graham variegate is tasty. It reminds me of how I use to line the bottom of my vanilla jell-o pudding cups with crushed graham cracker. Oh how I adore you graham. I'm just going to eat the variegate and call it a day. (I cant call it a syrup or swirl because it's more solid than that)

Fine I'll have some ice cream with my graham topping. Oh, cheesecake flavor on top, strawberry on the bottom. I got cheese on my first bite, strawberry on the second, but then the flavors just started blurring together.

The wet sand texture of the graham is kind of distracting me. At least I am noticing the center layer of crunchies more this time. They aren't literally crunchy, they are just more solid than everything else.

I'm going to be good and finish this for breakfast, so here is my parting thoughts. The funky graham topping is reason enough alone to try this funky treat. There's part of me that is tempted to just smoosh the second half together to create a nice uniform texture, but I probably won't. Maybe what I'm trying to say is that it doesn't remind me of ice cream cake, but I'm still have (imperfect) fun.

On Second Scoop: Finished! Lots of graham. Does anything else matter?

Verdict?  oh that graham
