We love a good dessert. And while we appreciate the sweet treats that never fail us year-round, we are especially fond of the ones offered seasonally. There is something about the anticipation of waiting for that special dessert that makes the change of season a little sweeter.
Costco makes one of our favorite festive desserts, and luckily, it’s bringing it back just in time for the start of fall: pumpkin cheesecake. Just like other Costco fans, we cannot wait to enjoy a slice (or three).
Costco’s Pumpkin Cheesecake Is Back for a Limited Time
This week, a Costco shopper’s Instagram account confirmed that the famous pumpkin cheesecake is back for the season. Fans on Reddit have shared their love for the seasonal treat, saying it’s the one dessert they “think about all year.” “It is the best item in the bakery,” one user wrote, while another said it’s “perfect” without being too sweet.
Costco rolls out some seriously impressive bakery treats this time of year—from its famous pumpkin pie to that over-the-top cinnamon coffee cake. This season, there’s even a new Mocha Crunch Bar Cake and some cozy Caramel Apple Strudel Bites. But, it’s safe to say this offering stands out above the rest: creamy, warmly spiced, and downright decadent—it’s nearly impossible not to put it in your cart.
“I want a Costco membership just for this cheesecake,” one fan admitted.
Several years ago, a self-proclaimed Costco bakery worker wrote about how the dessert was made on a Reddit thread. The worker noted that the pumpkin cheesecake with graham cracker crust is made “from scratch in the bakery.” It uses canned pumpkin for the filling, along with sour cream, sugar, and pumpkin spice.
Costco’s nearly 5-pound pumpkin cheesecake is priced at $21.99 at most locations—slightly higher than last year but still an excellent value for its size and quality. As a seasonal item, the cheesecake usually makes its comeback each fall before Thanksgiving, so keep checking in with your local location to see if it’s available yet in your area. It is only offered for a limited time, so if you see it, grab it!
