Trader Joe's Fans Are Swarming The Chain For A New Fall Dessert — 'I Got To Try This One!'

It's still officially summer, but seasonal fall goodies are out in full force. Folks are already plucking apples for flavorful fall baked goods and ordering pumpkin spice lattes from Starbucks, and now Trader Joe's is getting in on the action with a limited-time dessert. Customers have recently spotted a new Plum Torte at the neighborhood grocer, delighting fans of tart treats who can't wait to get their hands on it.

Described as "Buttery Cake with Tart Plums" on the package, the dessert is loaded with fruit (plums are the first listed ingredient). After baking for 20 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit, the edges of the cake obtain a crispy texture that TJ's suggests would make a stellar addition to a light brunch. It's only been available for a short while, but it's already gaining attention.

In an r/traderjoes subreddit, many plum fans have expressed excitement about trying this latest dessert drop. One enthusiastic TJ's devotee said, "I got to try this one! I love plums!" Another plum-curious person said, "This sounds amazing I need to know how it is." Thankfully for them, a few folks have tried the new fall treat. While not everyone is high on the torte, most customers are saying it's plum-tastic.

Because Trader Joe's new fall dessert hasn't been out long, some folks have noted that it hasn't made it to their local store quite yet, but the lucky few who have picked it up are generally impressed. One Redditor said, "My husband and I absolutely loved this!!! I thought it was very tender and had great flavor!" Still, among the people who were giving the Plum Torte kudos were a few who didn't think it was anything special. "Tastes like lemon cake. The plums aren't very good texture wise," was one person's review.

While not everyone thinks the dessert needs improving, some people were offering serving suggestions that would elevate the seasonal treat. A magnificent recommendation is topping the torte with a generous scoop of Trader Joe's vanilla ice cream. On Facebook, one person had a more unique approach to upgrading the dessert. "If I were serving it, I would sprinkle either some goat cheese on top or TJ's Vanilla Sugar," they said. Back on Reddit, someone who thought it looked terrific mentioned it would be better during a later season. "This looks like it would be great for Christmas time coffee," they said. Given that it may not be around during the winter holidays, buying one to stash in the freezer until Christmas wouldn't be a bad idea. It's only $7.99, so folks won't have to break the bank to buy a few at a time if so inclined.
