Cannoli dip: 9/10 it tastes exactly like cannoli dip! I love how creamy it is and the mini chocolate chips in it to give it a little crunch. I dip churro chips in this. I gave it a 9 because it was a little too sweet.
Lemon marshmallow cheesecake! 7/10 I haven’t heard of lemon and marshmallow together before but it wasn’t too bad! I’m not a lemon fan so that’s why I gave it a 7.
Blueberry fritters. 10/10 these taste just like blueberry no artificial. I love the icing on it and these and cooked to perfection. They are hard on the outside chewy in the inside. Perfect.
Chantilly cake: 8/10 I like how light tasting this ice cream is. It has pieces of cake in it and tastes like vanilla and strawberry mostly. Gave it an 8 because not enough cake in it.
... Read moreMy recent trip to Publix truly turned into a delightful dessert adventure! I absolutely love how they're constantly rolling out fresh, enticing treats, and this time, I really dove deep into some of their latest offerings. Beyond just tasting them, I wanted to share some insider tips on how to get the absolute most out of these delicious goodies.
First up, that Publix Cannoli Dip? Oh my gosh, it's a total game-changer. I completely agree with the original take – it's incredibly creamy with those delightful mini chocolate chips. It genuinely tastes like authentic cannoli filling, which I discovered is thanks to that rich blend of cream cheese and ricotta mentioned in the ingredients. While I enjoyed it with churro chips, I've heard fantastic suggestions from friends about pairing it with fresh fruit like strawberries, classic graham crackers, or even just a spoon for a quick indulgence! It's perfect for an impromptu party appetizer or a cozy movie night. Just a heads-up, it’s quite rich, and with about 150 calories per 2tsp serving, those delicious spoonfuls can add up quickly if you’re not careful. Keep an eye out for it, as it's often a limited edition item, so grab it when you see it!
The Chantilly Cake ice cream was another absolute standout. If you're not entirely familiar with Chantilly cake, it typically features a light, airy vanilla cake adorned with fresh berries and a decadent cream cheese frosting. This ice cream captures that essence beautifully. It’s not overly sweet, which is a huge plus for me, and those little pieces of cake scattered throughout are such a wonderful surprise! Publix often has other unique ice cream flavors in their freezer section too, like the intriguing Maple Chocolate Chip Pancake or the nostalgic Peanut Butter & Jelly options I spotted. It’s a fantastic way to enjoy a classic dessert in a new, chilled form. A typical serving is around 200 calories per 1/4 pint, so it’s good to keep that in mind for a sweet indulgence.
Now, the Lemon Marshmallow Cheesecake was definitely an unexpected combination! I admit I was a little skeptical at first, but the bright lemon tang perfectly cuts through the marshmallow's sweetness, creating a balanced flavor. If you're a fan of citrusy desserts, this limited edition treat might just surprise you in the best way. It has a wonderfully bright and refreshing quality that feels just right for warmer weather. With approximately 200 calories per slice, it’s a perfectly portioned treat for one.
And those Glazed Blueberry Fritters? Absolutely a 10/10 for me too! You can genuinely taste the real blueberries; the flavor is so natural and vibrant. The textural contrast—crispy on the outside, wonderfully soft and chewy on the inside—is what makes them utterly addictive. I find them best when warmed up slightly in the microwave or a few seconds in the oven. They usually come in a convenient 4-count package, and each fritter packs about 300 calories. They’re fantastic for breakfast or a delightful afternoon pick-me-up. Be sure to look for these, as they are also frequently a limited edition item.
When you’re at Publix searching for these seasonal or limited-edition treats, always make sure to check both the main bakery section and the refrigerated or freezer aisles. They often set up special displays to highlight new arrivals. Don't be shy about trying new things – you might just stumble upon your new favorite dessert! And as always, remember to glance at the labels for ingredients and calorie counts, especially if that's important for your dietary choices. Happy dessert hunting!
