If you’re looking to satisfy your sweet tooth without overspending, Trader Joe’s offers some of the best budget-friendly desserts in the U.S. Each year, the grocery chain surveys shoppers for its Customer Choice Awards to uncover the treats people love most — and these five desserts rose to the top.
See this year’s winners in the sweet treat category.
1. Sublime Ice Cream Sandwiches
- Price: $4.99
Why choose between cookies and ice cream when you can have both? The Sublime Ice Cream Sandwiches are made with chocolate chip cookies and vanilla ice cream coated in mini chocolate chips — and the result lives up to the name.
2. Almond Danish Kringle Pastry
- Price: N/A
This traditional Danish pastry took the coveted No. 2 spot. It’s a seasonal item, so be sure to scoop it up whenever you see it in stores.
3. Chocolate Hold the Cone! Mini Ice Cream Cones
- Price: $3.99
Trader Joe’s Hold the Cone! Mini Ice Cream Cones are the perfect size for when you just want a little something sweet. While they’re available in many flavors, the chocolate was the winner among shoppers.
4. Chocolate Chip Hold the Cone! Mini Ice Cream Cones
- Price: $3.99
If you’re not a fan of chocolate on chocolate, you may prefer the Chocolate Chip version of the Hold the Cone! dessert. This one features chocolate cones filled with chocolate chip ice cream, coated in chocolate.
5. Mint Chip Ice Cream
- Price: $4.99
Another winner from the frozen dessert aisle, shoppers voted the Mint Chip the top ice cream flavor available at Trader Joe’s. The store’s version is made from a simple mixture of cream, milk, sugar, egg yolks, peppermint extract and fudge chips — and lacks the green dye that usually gives mint ice cream its typical look.
