Atop Costco\u2019s classic cheesecake is a cherry mixture held in place with a delicate whipped border.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_10-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> The cheesecake layer is pretty standard for Costco\u2019s bakery\u2014rich and not-to-sweet with a thin graham cracker crust that is buttery and somewhat soft. It is truly the cherry topping paired with its sour cream-meets-whipped-cream border that really makes this dessert special.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_12-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> While I am sometimes put off by cherry desserts (they can be cloying or taste artificial), Costco\u2019s cherry topping perfectly captures what I love about the stone fruit. The topping is sweet but a little tart and syrupy without being thick and gloopy. The addition of a little sour cream topping along the cake&#8217;s edge also beautifully balances the cheesecake layer\u2019s richness, too.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_14-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> This cherry cheesecake would be ideal for a party\u2014think Valentine\u2019s Day, Easter, graduations, baby showers\u2014but it could also be easily frozen to become a treat for smaller families like mine. We happily devoured slices for dessert one evening, then I cut the cake into eight more slices and froze them on a parchment-lined sheet tray before moving the solid pieces to an airtight container for longer storage.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_16-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Now I can take out an individual slice of this gorgeous cheesecake any night, let it thaw on a plate for 15 minutes, and have a delicious dessert. Next time I go to Costco for basics, this cherry cheesecake will be on my essentials list.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_18-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> <em>To learn more about our approach to product recommendations, see HERE.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>#Costco #Bakery #Find #Fans #Calling<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I try my hardest to stick to my list anytime I go into Costco. \u201cI\u2019m just here for the essentials,\u201d I tell myself as I roll my cart past the bakery section. \u201cWhat am I going to do with a whole cheesecake?\u201d I say out loud as I put a Kirkland Signature Cherry Topped Cheesecake [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":591,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[9,563,430,562,87],"class_list":["post-590","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dinner","tag-bakery","tag-calling","tag-costco","tag-fans","tag-find"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoz.xyz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/590","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoz.xyz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoz.xyz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoz.xyz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoz.xyz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=590"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/artoz.xyz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/590\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoz.xyz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/591"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoz.xyz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=590"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoz.xyz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=590"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoz.xyz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=590"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
