Costco Desserts That Are Worth Your Money And Others That Aren't
By Megan Hageman
Buy: Cheesecake
Costco's Kirkland Signature cheesecake is over 4 pounds and a foot in diameter. The base is light, sweet, rich, and subtly tangy, and its texture is very creamy.
Avoid: Banana Cream Pie
This Costco pie has a very grainy graham cracker crust, it's hard to cut through, it lacks real banana slices, and the overall flavor is mild and lackluster.
Buy: Vanilla Ice Cream
Kirkland Signature vanilla ice cream has a high butterfat content and low overrun, giving it a dense, creamy texture that keeps its shape and a light flavor.
Avoid: Ice Cream Bars
Kirkland Signature ice cream bars are less flavorful and rich than competing bars, and the chocolate shell is thin, fragile, and even "waxy," per a Redditor.
Buy: Cheese Danishes
Costco’s cream cheese Danish is big and shareable. It has a flaky puff pastry crust, white icing, and a pool of rich, sweet, and tangy cream cheese filling.
