This cheesecake is causing a frenzy in stores, and fans say it’s Costco’s sweetest hit yet

If there’s one place that knows how to make dessert irresistible, it’s Costco.

But this season, the buzz is louder, the cravings are stronger, and shoppers are already clearing space in their carts.

The reason? A brand-new springtime treat that’s already being called one of the best desserts to ever hit the warehouse.



Say hello to the Strawberry Streusel Cheesecake—a 4.5-pound bakery masterpiece that’s turning heads and winning hearts.

Whether you’re planning a family cookout or just looking for an excuse to indulge, here’s why this limited-time dessert has Costco fans completely obsessed.

Costco has a history of churning out fan-favorite sweets—from the rich Tuxedo Cake to those giant chocolate chunk cookies—but this seasonal release is being praised for striking the perfect balance between rich and refreshing.

Here’s what sets it apart: It starts with a buttery graham cracker crust that’s firm, crumbly, and lightly sweet, offering just the right amount of crunch.

The cheesecake filling is light and whipped—smooth and airy, not dense like traditional slices—making it easy to enjoy without feeling weighed down.

On top, there’s a layer of real strawberries, with no artificial flavoring, just fresh, juicy fruit that delivers a natural burst of flavor.

It’s finished with a soft streusel crumble that fans say tastes like bits of sugar cookie—a sweet, slightly crisp topping that brings everything together.

And yes, it’s huge: at 4.5 pounds and only $23, it’s big enough to feed a crowd—or just a few very lucky cheesecake lovers over several days.

Online reviews are pouring in—and they’re overwhelmingly positive.

“I have zero regrets buying this. But 100% regret giving half to my sister,” one online user joked. “It’s light and fresh, not super rich like many cheesecakes.”

Another added, “Almost as if it were whipped. It's not super dense or heavy like slices from the Cheesecake Factory.”

And the topping? “It’s real strawberries! I didn't notice any odd flavors. And the strawberries weren't like soggy like some desserts get! And the topping was delicious.”


The dessert is also making waves on social media. Instagram accounts like @costcowonders and @costcobuys featured the cheesecake, with captions calling it “worth every bite” and even “INCREDIBLE!!”

If you tried the viral Tiramisu Cheesecake from this past winter, you’ll notice this one offers a totally different experience.

While the tiramisu version leaned rich and espresso-heavy, the Strawberry Streusel Cheesecake is all about bright, fruit-forward flavor and a melt-in-your-mouth texture—making it perfect for spring and summer.

Like most of Costco’s seasonal bakery drops, this one is available for a limited time. So if you want to try it before it disappears, it’s best to grab it now. Once it’s gone, there’s no guarantee it’ll return until next spring—if at all.
