Costco's menu of massive desserts is even bigger now thanks to the bakery section's four-pound lemon meringue cheesecake. Like the lemon meringue pie and cheesecake that inspired it, the tart features a sweet graham cracker base topped with a decadent cream cheese filling. The third layer includes a tangy lemon filling stacked with a toasted meringue topping, making it the perfect sweet-and-sour dessert combo.
"The lemon curd on top is the perfect balance of sweet and tangy."First introduced in May, the giant $20 cheesecake has already received rave reviews from fans across social media. "I love how light and creamy the cheesecake is, and the lemon curd on top is the perfect balance of sweet and tangy," food blogger Angela Ackerman, aka @costcoguide, told POPSUGAR. On Instagram, she added that the meringue topping has a marshmallow-like quality to it. "10/10 recommend. A definite crowd pleaser!"
Other shoppers were equally impressed with the summer treat's sweet-and-tangy taste. "Another New @costco bakery item!!!" wrote Instagram user whats_in_your_cart. "This one did not disappoint!!! I [heart] cheesecake and lemon meringue pie! So when you put them together you get a match made in heaven! I loved it and definitely a 5/5! If you like lemon meringue pie you will love this!!!"
The family-sized cheesecake is one of the newest additions to Costco's dessert section, which includes a large apple pie, the classic four-pound pumpkin pie, and a five-pound peanut butter chocolate pie. Ahead, feast your eyes on the massive lemon meringue cheesecake, and give your sweet tooth something else to snack on with this gigantic four-berry pie.
