When summer arrives, cold desserts become the stars. If there's a place that always surprises with unique seasonal products, it's Trader Joe’s. This month, its catalog is packed with sweet new items that are making waves.
Among viral products and exclusive flavors, one has captured all the attention. It's the Hard Top chocolate coating, a product that has revolutionized the way people enjoy ice cream at home. Because of its flavor, texture, and price, many already consider it the sweet treat of the summer.
Hard Top coating: Intense flavor and crunchy texture
Trader Joe’s Hard Top chocolate coating costs just $3.29. It's liquid when served, but hardens when it comes into contact with ice cream. This creates a crunchy layer reminiscent of classic ice cream bars.
This product is made with real dark chocolate, cocoa powder, cocoa butter, and a touch of hazelnut. Unlike other similar products, it doesn't use only artificial flavors. Its coconut oil base guarantees that magical texture that solidifies instantly.
It's important not to store the bottle in the refrigerator. You just need to shake it well before using, and if it has hardened, heat it for five minutes in hot water. After that, you only need to pour it over your dessert to enjoy its crunchy layer and real chocolate flavor.
Much more than an ice cream topping
Although it's designed to go with ice cream, its use doesn't stop there. You can also pour it over cold strawberries or even over oatmeal for a fun breakfast. The result is always an irresistible mix of textures.
Some people use it with yogurt or cold whipped cheese. Others apply it inside the cone before adding the ice cream, creating a dessert worthy of a pastry shop. Its flexible packaging makes it easy to use and lets you get every last drop.
With 5.7 fl. oz. (170 ml) per bottle, it lasts much longer than it seems. According to the packaging, it's enough for six servings, although many say it goes even further. In addition, its long shelf life lets you buy several bottles and enjoy it all season long.
Viral products and summer delicacies
Trader Joe’s hasn't just launched this topping, but many other limited-edition products. Among them are root beer-flavored ice cream chunks, Dubai chocolate, and themed macarons. There are also key ingredients to prepare the famous lobster pasta in 20 minutes, and if you're a fan of potato chips, you should know that the popular Patio Chips are back.
This summer, Trader Joe’s is making a strong bet on original flavors and products that elevate any snack or family gathering. However, many of these products will only be available for a limited time. So if you want to try the Hard Top coating or any other new item, you'd better hurry.
