Key Takeaways
- The latest buzz at Trader Joe's is about a limited-time dessert found in the freezer section that's already getting glowing reviews from shoppers.
- The treat reimagines a classic French pastry with a tropical spin, delivering bold, tart citrus flavors balanced by a hint of sweetness.
This may be a hot take, but I love that Trader Joe’s products come and go. Maybe knowing that an item I like could suddenly disappear gives it an air of mystery that keeps me hooked. Or perhaps moving things out to make room for new products keeps grocery shopping interesting, like a scavenger hunt. Whichever way you look at it, there’s no denying that shopping at Trader Joe’s always makes for a unique experience—no two shopping hauls are ever alike.
As a result, the internet has become a place where TJ’s shoppers share discoveries and lament discontinued items, together as a community. And what’s the latest dessert TJ’s customers are buzzing about? It’s a new frozen treat that looks so incredible I can barely wrap my head around the fact that it’s from Trader Joe’s and not a fancy French bakery.
Trader Joe's New Passion Fruit Meringue Tartelettes
Trader Joe’s new dessert takes all our favorite elements of a lemon meringue tart and infuses them with a sweet pop of passion fruit. The Passion Fruit Meringue Tartelettes feature a silky and tangy passion fruit curd encased in a crumbly, buttery shortbread crust and topped with a dollop of toasted meringue. It’s rich, indulgent, and looks so impressive, no one will know it was just pulled from the freezer.
According to shoppers on the Trader Joe’s subreddit, the new dessert, if you can believe it, tastes even better than it looks. “I really love them!” one fan said. “Nice and tart with good passion fruit flavor…Overall 10/10. I’ll be back tomorrow so I can eat them until I’m sick of them over the next weeks.” The same person later added, “I need one every night!”
Another fan commented, "I ate this straight out of the freezer. It has a great balance between the very nice tart passion fruit and a not too sweet cookie base for the tarte, plus the meringue on the top! Time to buy more!"
Each box contains two pastries for $4.99, which, if you've ever had a lemon meringue tart, you know it can feel like work to eat a whole slice in one sitting. The dessert is very rich, and it's meant to feel indulgent. So, although the package only comes with two tartelettes, you can easily cut one in half and share with someone else—or don't, we won't judge.
The Passion Fruit Meringue Tartelettes are a limited-time offering, so if you're looking for a bright, zingy treat to keep in the freezer and brighten all those rainy spring days ahead, then head over to your local neighborhood grocer ASAP.
