Costco Is Selling a Heart-Shaped Cheesecake for Valentine’s Day
Updated: May 04, 2022
Thank you, Costco, for this lovely Valentine's Day dessert.
There are more than enough reasons to visit Costco on a regular basis. Whether it’s because of their best-selling items, one-of-a-kind finds or just their amazing 4-pound apple pies, we keep coming back for more. On top of all that, they make sure to keep their customers happy with loads of holiday-themed treats. The best part? They’re ALWAYS delicious!
We recently talked about the Costco Valentine’s Day cocoa bombs (which you totally need), but wait…there’s more!
What Is This Lovely Cheesecake?
If you’re looking for a serious indulgence this Valentine’s Day, you need this Costco cheesecake. Of course, this isn’t your regular, everyday plain cheesecake; it’s coated in a chocolate ganache, and the sides are lined with sprinkles. Unsurprisingly, it weighs a whopping three pounds!
There’s a whole lot of deliciousness going on here, and whether you’re in a relationship or single, this dessert is reason enough to celebrate on February 14. It can be all yours for a mere $19.99.
Instagrammer @CostcoBuys was the first to spot it, and they were thrilled to share the news:

The other Costco Valentine’s Day cake on the menu is a classic tuxedo mousse cake that’s been transformed with beautiful cursive and a plethora of tiny icing hearts. It’s bound to be delicious no matter what. I might need to buy one for later, too!
Who Makes It?
Unlike Costco’s treasured 5-pound pumpkin cheesecake, this heart-shaped treat isn’t made by the store’s bakery. Instead, it’s created by Junior’s, a name bakery fans will most certainly recognize. Junior’s is a New York-based chain that has mastered the art of making cheesecakes.
How Long Is the Cheesecake Available?
If your heart is yearning for this heart, it looks like you’ll only have a week or two to get your hands on one.
You’ll have to make the trip to Costco soon—like, probably this week—to snag this treat before it’s gone. While you’re there, pick up these things chefs buy at Costco to build your perfect Valentine’s meal.
