If you're in the mood for savory pastries, fruity cookies, some holiday-themed delicacies,
and so much more, check out these new and delicious Costco bakery
favorites. But do take note: they might not be available year round or at every location.
Lemon fans can enjoy dessert for breakfast thanks to Costco's new two-pound lemon blueberry loaf.
For added sweetness, it's topped with lemon icing and melt-in-your-mouth butter streusel.
One tasty option is to heat a slice in the microwave and slather it with
softened butter for an even more indulgent experience. Some critics
believe that the bakers could have added more blueberries to the recipe for more texture,
but that also seems to depend on which particular loaf you happen to grab.
Another breakfast option recently spotted at the
Costco bakery is a six-pack of cheese and cherry pastries. They resemble croissants,
but they're filled half-and-half with cherry and cheese to sweeten them up.
The filling doesn't go overboard, so it's unlikely to make a mess. Considering that,
some people might prefer more filling to be included in every pastry. However, it's just the
right amount to remain light and balanced, which might tempt you to eat more than one at a time.
Costco released a nearly four-pound lemon meringue cheesecake in May 2023 that is a
thing of beauty. It has a graham cracker crust base topped with a
tangy cheesecake made out of cream cheese. There's also a thin layer of lemon curd,
and it's all topped with toasted meringue for added texture and lightness.
It's certainly massive, but people who have tried the cake say it's one of the
best things they've had from the baked goods section. It's perfect to bring to
a barbecue or potluck that you can almost guarantee everyone will love. Or you can
keep it in your fridge for your family to snack on whenever you have a craving.
Costco's bakery also recently unveiled a raspberry lemon rose bundt cake that
actually resembles a beautiful flower. This two-pound concoction is marbled
with raspberry and lemon and topped with powdered sugar.
Some Costco shoppers have noted that this cake is lacking in lemon flavor,
so the festive design is the main draw here. Others have added that the flavor improves when
a slice is topped with whipped cream or more lemon curd, so make sure your pantry is well-stocked.
"I love bundt cake! Heads up!"
Another massive Costco bakery item meant for sharing at a summer picnic is their new
four-berry pie. This confection weighs almost five pounds and is made with a blend of strawberries,
blueberries, cranberries, and raspberries. The cranberries add a pleasant tartness
that's different from the typical addition of blackberries, which helps the flavor stand out.
It's the kind of pie that's best served warm and topped with a scoop of vanilla bean ice
cream to get the full experience. Store-bought pies usually can't hold a candle to a homemade
version, but Costco does a pretty good job at making this one feel as fresh as possible.
Next on the list is a chocolate ganache torte. This confection
has a base of almond crust that holds up a delicate chocolate mousse filling. It's
topped with a layer of chocolate ganache, decorative whipped cream,
and candy garnishes to make it look like it was freshly baked at a top-notch bakery.
The lightness of the mousse is a nice textural balance to the crunchy bottom.
This is certainly a dessert aimed at people who can never have enough
chocolate. And it also apparently freezes well, so stock up if you're a chocoholic.
"Munch munch, crunch crunch. Silky ganache is here to eat the lunch."
Costco's bakery has released several items with different flavor profiles in 2023,
including a box of 24 confetti cookies that have a super buttery base. These soft and chewy treats
feature a mix of rainbow sprinkles and white chocolate chips for a pop of fun in every bite.
The container sells for $9.99, which is a pretty good deal for two dozen cookies. Many
shoppers have remarked that they're best enjoyed when heated up a bit, and we can't help
but imagine how delicious a scoop of vanilla ice cream would be between two of them for a chipwich.
Sometime before Easter 2023, Costco released a festive cake that looks like a work of art. The
bakery usually sells miniature versions of its carrot cake that are beloved by many customers,
but this full-size version is an absolute upgrade.
This three-layer cake that was created in collaboration with Bakery Street in California
features cream cheese frosting in between each tier. It's topped with green coconut "grass"
and Robin Eggs candy to make it look like the dessert version of an Easter basket. Not only
is the cake a feast for the eyes, but the flavor matches its enticing appearance.
It probably won't be a new release available all year round,
but it's worth keeping an eye out for it next spring.
Costco's new orange pecan cookies have, naturally enough, a slight natural orange
flavor with chunks of pecans floating inside. They're similar to the other cookie offerings
from Kirkland Signature, while serving as an ideal chocolate-free option. The
orange flavor isn't too overwhelming and it doesn't taste artificial in the slightest.
These cookies also have a distinct chewiness that improves even more when heated up a bit.
The only complaint that customers seem to have is that there could be more pecans in each cookie,
but that's really a matter of personal preference.
One of the most raved-about new items in Costco's bakery is undoubtedly the
chocolate peanut butter cream pie. This four-and-a-half pound creation is like
a massive version of a Reese's cup. It features a graham cracker crumble crust
topped with a mousse blend of peanut butter and chocolate. Despite looking rich and dense,
it's actually shockingly light, which makes it even easier to complete before it goes bad.
Reportedly, some people have been so intrigued by this pie that they
almost signed up for entire Costco memberships just to try it. Clearly,
the hype is real when it comes to the chocolate peanut butter cream pie.
"Pies! Pies! Pies! Pies! Pies!"
