Customers Say This Aldi Fall Dessert Is Worth Adding To Your Cart

No food signals that fall is upon us quite like pumpkin. Even before the leaves begin to change colors and the first chill in the air arrives, the orange icon shows up in everything from lattes to beer and candy. While Aldi releases a variety of sweet and savory pumpkin-flavored products for the fall season, customers say the discount chain's Pumpkin Cream Cheese Blossoms reign supreme.

Priced at $3.49 for a box of two, this seasonal treat is from Aldi's Specially Selected brand. It features a spiced pumpkin cream cheese filling inside flaky pastry petals. The frozen dessert is then topped with creamy caramel, a sweetened glaze, and coarse sugar.

The pumpkin cream cheese blossoms were one of our 30 Aldi Finds to look out for during August and are only offered for a limited time. Aldi shoppers agree that this fall dessert is an all-around winner, especially in the Aldi Aisle of Shame Community Facebook group. "These are like mini pumpkin pies but sweeter, " said one shopper. Even those not as into the pumpkin craze enjoy it. "... they are divine! I don't even like pumpkin pie, but they are so good," said another commenter in the group. "The pastry makes it so good."

Hype around the Pumpkin Cream Cheese Blossoms has spread so much on social media that fellow Aldi shoppers are racing to the stores. "Stalking the aisles until I find them!" said another commenter in the Aldi Aisle of Shame group on Facebook. "I'm not normally a pumpkin spice girl, but I do love some pastry and a gooey cream cheese filling." This treat would be perfect in the morning with a cup of coffee or at night with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, and chopped nuts.

And not to worry if you have a sweet tooth but aren't quite keen on pumpkin. Aldi sells a variety of other blossom flavors throughout the year, including caramel apple, cherry, strawberry rhubarb, and apple berry, which is stuffed with a variety of berries. Right now, the brand's Apple Cranberry Blossoms are available alongside the pumpkin flavor. Since both flavors are fall desserts, they will only be around for the season, so be sure to add a box to your cart to try before they disappear from shelves.
