Allrecipes' editorial guidelines Published on September 9, 2024 Close Photo: Adobe/Allrecipes Trader Joe’s shoppers are notoriously loyal. They wait all year for seasonal items to return, crossing days off their calendars, like kids counting down to Christmas. We’re the same here at Allrecipes, myself included. I regularly check TJ’s aisles, hoping for the return of its Hot and Sweet Pepper Jelly. My cheese trays aren’t the same without it. Trader Joe’s sweets and snacks are often what shoppers impatiently wait for. When Carolina Gold BBQ Potato Chips recently hit the shelves, some people ate the entire bag in their car before getting home. (Me? I’m waiting for the return of Horseradish and Chive Chips.) But nothing compares to the excitement of returning seasonal products. When Trader Joe’s Apple Cider Donuts reappeared in stores, fans were thrilled. Now, Trader Joe’s is bringing back its fan-favorite fall ice cream for a limited time. Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Ice Cream I imagine that the return of Trader Joe’s S’mores Ice Cream at the end of July has already run its seasonal course because Pumpkin Ice Cream is back. Instagram’s Trader Joe’s New has the video to prove it. “Pumpkin ice cream spotted today!! And the pumpkin cream cheese too!! I’m so excited it’s happening!!” Alex, the voice behind the IG account, wrote in the caption. “Yayyyy!! It’s all happening!” one follower commented. Another follower echoed the excitement and chimed in with, “YEEEESSSSSS I’ve been waiting all year to buy this." What’s so special about this ice cream? According to Trader Joe’s website, this seasonal fall flavor blends pumpkin purée with all our favorite fall flavors like cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Fans on Reddit are calling it the “fave seasonal pumpkin product of all time!” One commenter had a delicious idea that Trader Joe’s shoppers might want to copy. “A nice scoop of this nutmeg/pumpkin hybrid ice cream on warm pumpkin coffee cake always hits the spot!” Want to give it a try? We have the perfect recipe to make that happen: Pumpkin Coffee Cake with a Brown Sugar Glaze. Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback! Tell us why! Other Submit
