Who doesn’t love a sweet treat to cap off a long day? Costco’s freezer section is packed with desserts that hit the spot without breaking the bank. From creamy ice cream bars to fruity sorbets, these picks are perfect for chilling with the guys or bringing to a backyard BBQ. I’ve scoured the aisles and taste-tested a bunch to bring you the best frozen goodies Costco’s got. Here’s the lowdown on the top five that’ll make your taste buds do a happy dance.
These bad boys are a total steal. Kirkland’s vanilla ice cream bars are dipped in a thick chocolate shell with crunchy almonds. They’re rich, creamy, and just the right size for a quick dessert. I grabbed a box for a poker night last summer, and let me tell you, the fellas couldn’t stop raving about ‘em. At about 56 cents a pop, you can stock up and keep the freezer loaded for whenever the craving hits.
If you’re looking for something a bit lighter, Island Way Sorbet is where it’s at. These come in cool fruit shells like coconut and mango, with flavors like pomegranate and grapefruit. They’re refreshing as heck, especially after a day of yard work. The creamy texture and real fruit taste make ‘em feel fancy without being fussy. Perfect for when you want a dessert that doesn’t weigh you down.
Mochi ice cream is a game-changer, and Bubbies does it right. You get strawberry, green tea, and mango flavors wrapped in that chewy mochi goodness. Each bite’s got a killer mix of creamy and stretchy textures. I snagged a box for a family cookout, and even my picky brother-in-law couldn’t resist. The 18-count box is great for sharing or hoarding for yourself—no judgment here.
Who doesn’t love Oreos? These ice cream sandwiches take it to the next level with jumbo chocolate wafers and cookies-and-cream ice cream. They’re like the Oreos you dunked in milk as a kid, but bigger and colder. Great for when you’re kicking back watching the game and need something sweet to munch on. The 24-pack means you’re set for a while, unless your buddies raid the stash.
For a dessert that feels a bit more upscale, Junior’s Mini Cheesecakes are a solid pick. You get original, chocolate, and strawberry swirl in a 24-pack. Each one’s just the right size to satisfy without going overboard. I brought these to a buddy’s birthday bash, and they were gone faster than a cold beer on a hot day. Pop ‘em in the freezer, thaw for a bit, and you’ve got a creamy treat that’s pure gold.
