Summer temperatures call for frozen treats and Costco has plenty of them. No need to visit an ice cream shop when you can get some of the best ice cream at Costco, whether you choose an ice cream sandwich, novelty bar, or the coveted Kirkland Signature Super Premium Vanilla Ice Cream.
This time of year, Costco stocks a variety of great frozen treats that rival the ice cream man’s. The selections may vary based on your location but you’ll no doubt find something delicious, from sorbet and popsicles to chocolate-covered frozen fruit.
You’ll want to act fast, though–many of these items are seasonal and won’t last long. Here are nine frozen treats to snag immediately.
If you are having a bunch of friends or family over for a party this summer, we challenge you to find a better variety pack of ice cream. This 40-count box of individually wrapped Nestle frozen treats includes a heavy dose of nostalgia with ice cream sandwiches, cookie-dipped bars, and a variety of Drumstick flavors. There’s not a bad pick in the box, and for $16.99 at Costco, you can’t go wrong.
Sometimes you want a little bite of dessert and not something overly decadent. These Tru Fru-brand frozen chocolate strawberries use clean ingredients—strawberries frozen at peak ripeness, milk chocolate, and white chocolate. You won’t find any additives here. Plus, they are only 90 calories for three pieces. Costco offers them in a 20-ounce bag for $10.99 at the warehouse. We have a feeling these won’t last in your freezer for very long.
These handmade fruit sorbets make the perfect dessert for a dinner party, served in pretty and natural fruit shells. Choose from coconut, berry and grapefruit, mango or pomegranate, although the coconut seems to be most coveted among fans on Reddit. They are gluten free and non-GMO too. There’s a touch of cream so they aren’t dairy free like many other sorbets. The box will cost you $14.99 for 12 at the warehouse.

You won’t find these in the freezer aisle at Costco, but rather where the summer snacks are. Think of them like Fla-vor-ice but without all of the artificial colors and flavors. These superfruit organic pops are filled with organic ingredients that include fruit purées and juices. Keep a bag on hand to pop in your freezer. For $9.99, the bag includes 35 freezie pops in strawberry lemon, mango orange, and blueberry pomegranate.
