If you thought your Costco freezer run couldn’t get any more exciting, think again. Shoppers are completely losing it over a new summer find that looks almost too pretty to eat: Frosty Peach and Mango Fruit Shaped Ice Cream — and at just 1.49 for a six-pack, it’s the most fun your freezer has ever had. These hyper-realistic, 3D frozen treats are flying off Costco shelves and going viral on social media, so you’ll want to move fast before they’re gone for the season.
What Is Costco’s Fruit Shaped Ice Cream?
These aren’t your average ice cream bars. Each box comes with six frozen treats — three peach and three mango — molded to look exactly like actual fruit. The outside is a smooth white chocolate shell painted to resemble real peaches and mangoes, and inside is a creamy, fruit-flavored ice cream filling. They’re technically called trompe l’oeil desserts (French for “deceives the eye”), a technique that originated in French patisserie and was perfected by Asian bakeries over the past few decades. These stunning frozen desserts have long been a staple at Asian grocery stores and specialty bakeries — where a single piece can run you to 5. Now Costco has brought them to the masses at a fraction of the price.
The Internet Is Obsessed — And Selling Out Fast
When Costco fan account @costcohotfinds posted a reel on June 6 showing off the Frosty Peach and Mango treats, the comments exploded. “These are the prettiest desserts, and I was not expecting them to be so soft and so, so creamy,” raved the influencer. Shoppers on Reddit piled on: “These are ridiculously good,” wrote one user. Another noted paying 5 for a single mango at an LA bakery — making the Costco price look like the deal of the summer. The word spread to TikTok too, with @costcotv warning followers: “It’s selling VERY fast. There were only a few boxes left when I got it.” Consider yourself warned.

How Does 1.49 for Six Stack Up?
Let’s do the math: at 1.49 per box, you’re paying about .92 per treat. Compare that to at 7-Eleven or 5 at a specialty bakery, and the Costco value becomes crystal clear. This is peak Costco energy — taking a luxury, trendy food item and making it completely accessible.

Peach vs. Mango — Which One Wins?
The great debate is already raging in the comments. The @costcohotfinds influencer declared the peach as her favorite, calling it softer and creamier. Meanwhile, mango lovers are riding hard for their tropical pick. Both flavors feature the same white chocolate exterior and the same melt-in-your-mouth texture — it really comes down to whether you’re a stone fruit stan or a tropical fruit devotee. The good news? You get three of each in every box, so you don’t have to choose. Buy two boxes, eat one of each flavor, and settle the debate for yourself.
A Quick Note on Availability
Fair warning: these aren’t available at every Costco location, and they’re selling out quickly wherever they do land. Your best bet is to check your local store’s freezer section ASAP, or look them up on Costco Same-Day delivery through your preferred grocery delivery service. Costco has a way of stocking trending items for a limited run, and given how fast this one is moving, it could disappear before summer’s end. And if you’re always hunting down Costco’s best viral finds, don’t miss our coverage of Costco’s .99 Pistachio Croissants — another sell-out hit you’ll want to track down.
Should You Grab These?
Short answer: absolutely yes. These are a true summer freezer must-have — visually stunning, delicious, and priced like the Costco bargain they are. Whether you’re serving them at a backyard cookout, packing them in a cooler for a beach day, or just treating yourself on a hot Tuesday afternoon, Frosty Peach and Mango Fruit Shaped Ice Cream delivers big on both flavor and fun. Head to your nearest Costco today — before your neighbors beat you to it.
