For three decades, my family has been loyal Costco members, and during the holidays, our weekly trips increase as we prepare for holiday menus and reach our annual hot dog quota. While we prefer homemade treats, Costco’s Kirkland Signature Strawberry Cheesecake consistently outperforms everything else on the table—even my mother’s legendary pie.
Why This Cheesecake Reigns Supreme
At $23.99 for six pounds, the cheesecake offers an ideal balance between creamy richness and tart strawberry topping. The delicate whipped cream border secures a generous layer of whole strawberries, while the buttery graham cracker crust adds a satisfying crunch.
This dessert isn’t just about taste; it’s about value. Feeding a family of 12 with leftovers for breakfast makes the $24 price tag worthwhile, especially compared to sourcing and making it from scratch.
The Perfect Serving Method
The key is to let the cheesecake sit at room temperature for half an hour. This softens the base, making it easy to slice through, while keeping it refreshingly cold. Served as is, it pairs well with a bottle of red wine (like Costco’s Apothic Red) for a festive finish.
The Kirkland Signature Strawberry Cheesecake has become an annual tradition, making each holiday feel more special.
Whether you’ve already tried this Costco gem or are considering it, the consensus is clear: this cheesecake is a crowd-pleaser that might just outshine your family’s signature dessert.
