The Best Trader Joe's Frozen Desserts Added In September 2026

We have been squeaking with delight at the goodies a-tumbling coming out of Trader Joe's this month — and we're not alone! From slaking our thirst with a host of tasty drinks to keeping anyone with the slightest sweet tooth happy as a clam, the retailer has knocked it out of the park in September 2026, in our humble opinion. And it's not over yet. Clicky pens and shopping list apps at the ready, as we run down the must-have frozen desserts we think everyone should pick up in the coming weeks.

Aside from the obvious freezer theme, our choices offer a bit of a tour of the world, from a cake fit for European royalty (curtsey when you cut it), to a wobbly dessert guaranteed to win the heart of gruff Spanish locals. As always, details about prices and availability were correct at the time of writing, but to make sure you don't miss out, it's worth checking stocks with your local Trader Joe's to avoid disappointment. Ready? Let's go!

We can't wait to try this gorgeous-looking confection, known as prinsesstårta, made for TJ's by actual Swedish bakers. Beneath the green marzipan cover lies a light sponge cake, sandwiched by fruity raspberry jam and pastry cream, while the curved top is down to a whopping layer of whipped cream. Use it as a doll's skirt for a lovely kids' birthday cake, or carve it up with your grown-up pals for a brunch treat, while you practise saying prinsesstårta.

These delicious frozen bites featured on our initial Trader Joe's round-up for September but we couldn't resist giving them another plug here. They come all the way from France, so you can pretend your kitchen is a Parisian bakery as you stuff them elegantly into your mouth. Enjoy the blissful blend of buttery pastry, tart apple, and sweet caramel, fresh from the oven — not to mention that heavenly aroma as they bake. Yum!

This choice from TJ's September frozen desserts whisks us to Spain, where a local producer is behind this twin pack of mouthwatering desserts. They are gluten free but unfortunately they're not suitable for vegetarians as they contain beef gelatin. If that's not a problem, then a delicious, slightly wobbly treat lies in store. TJ's describes them as "impossibly creamy," and we wholeheartedly agree. Eat them as they come, or add crushed nuts or a little fresh fruit — it's all good.

There are three potential issues with these pretty-looking frozen cakes. First, there are nine of these ube and coconut delights in a box, which means sharing might not be an option. Two, we have to wait for them to defrost before diving in, and third, who on earth could have just one? Certainly not the online shoppers who have happily gorged on entire boxes already. If you spot these little gems, don't sleep on them.

If you've never heard of Marian Burros and her legendary New York Times recipe for plum torte, grab this frozen treat from Trader Joe's and you'll understand what all the fuss was about when they stopped printing it in 1989. The combination of tart, sweet fruit and pillow-soft batter has garnered favorable comparisons with Burros' creation, and because it's frozen, there's none of that messy preparation or hanging around for it to cook nonsense.

If the slightly sweet, enticingly spicy filling to this fall-coded cheesecake doesn't grab you at first bite, then the honey wheat crust definitely will. Although it's a seasonal regular, it flies out ofTJ's freezers, so don't think twice if you see it in your store. You can top this cheesecake with whipped cream if you want, or enjoy it as it is, but be warned — it will be eaten in a fraction of the time it takes to completely defrost!
