Start the new year on a sweet note with desserts that will wow your guests without breaking the bank. Trader Joe’s is a go-to destination for party treats thanks to its unique, affordable options that look gourmet but require zero effort.
From rich chocolate indulgences to light, fluffy cheesecakes, these picks will make your New Year’s Eve celebration unforgettable.
Japanese Soufflé Cheesecakes: Light, Fluffy & Rich
- Price: $3.49 for 2
These single-serve cakes are a cross between a light and fluffy soufflé and a rich cheesecake, giving guests the best of both worlds. They’re tasty enough to serve on their own, but you can kick things up a notch by topping them with ice cream or whipped cream and fresh berries.
Petit Fours Mousse Cakes: Bite-Sized Indulgence
- Price: $4.99 for 9
This limited-time dessert looks gourmet without having to make any extra effort. Each container has nine bite-sized mousse cakes in three flavors: chocolate cake with chocolate mousse in a dark chocolate coating, vanilla cake with vanilla mousse in a vanilla coating, and chocolate cake with coffee mousse in a mocha coating.
Sweet Cannoli Dip: A Fun Twist on a Classic
- Price: $3.99 for 8 ounces
For a unique and fun dessert, serve up “deconstructed cannolis.” Pair this sweet dip — which combines cream cheese, sour cream, ricotta and vanilla — with Belgian Butter Waffle Cookies for that cannoli crunch.
Chocolate Lava Cakes: Warm, Gooey Chocolate Bliss
- Price: $3.99 for 2 cakes
Chocolate lovers will get their fix with these lava cakes, which are filled with a rich, creamy chocolate ganache. Just pop them in the microwave for less than a minute, and you’ll have a dessert that’s sure to please.
Brookie: The Best of Brownies and Cookies Combined
- Price: $4.99 for 8 servings
The only thing better than brownies and cookies is a dessert that combines them both. This classic brookie is sweet, soft and chewy, and ready to serve.
With these Trader Joe’s treats, your party will be stress-free and delicious.
