Target’s frozen aisle is packed with gems, but which ones actually live up to the hype?
We’ve analyzed the latest trends from Reddit and YouTube to bring you the top desserts shoppers are currently obsessing over.
1. Favorite Day Banana Pudding Ice Cream – $2.99
-
The Buzz: Currently the #1 trending Target-brand pint across TikTok and Reddit.
-
Feedback: Fans describe it as a “spiritual experience,” specifically praising the soft vanilla wafer chunks. Some critical feedback on Reddit notes a slightly “gummy” texture due to stabilizers, but the nostalgia factor keeps it sold out.
2. Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream – $7.99
-
The Buzz: Recently saw a price drop from $10.79 at many locations, sparking a new wave of “value” discussions.
-
Feedback: The Brambleberry Crisp is the clear winner in feedback threads. Testers consistently mention the density and lack of “airiness” makes the higher price point feel justified.
3. Wyman’s Just Fruit & Greek Yogurt Bites – $4.99
-
The Buzz: A staple in health-conscious “New Year” Facebook groups and calorie-tracking communities.
-
Feedback: Described as “healthy Dippin’ Dots.” Recent testers (Jan 2026) mention they are excellent for portion control but warn that they melt very quickly once removed from the freezer.
4. Favorite Day Frozen Molten Chocolate Lava Cakes – $4.99
-
The Buzz: Trending in “Valentine’s Date Night” recommendation lists.
-
Feedback: Real-world feedback suggests air-frying these for 8–10 minutes instead of microwaving to achieve a crispier exterior that better contains the molten center.
5. Favorite Day Macarons Assortment – $6.49
-
The Buzz: The seasonal Red Velvet & Strawberry packs are the current focus of YouTube “Target Haul” videos.
-
Feedback: Often compared favorably to expensive bakery versions. Reviewers note that the shells actually “snap” correctly, which is rare for a frozen grocery store macaron.
6. Tillamook Ice Cream – $6.39
-
The Buzz: Massive growth in “Best Value” and “Best Grocery Store Brand” Reddit threads.
-
Feedback: Campfire Peanut Butter Cup is the flavor of the month. Testers highlight that it doesn’t get “icy” even after being opened and returned to the freezer multiple times.
7. Yasso Greek Yogurt Bars – $5.79
-
The Buzz: High frequency of mentions in “Low Calorie” lifestyle groups.
-
Feedback: Sea Salt Caramel remains the gold standard. Recent feedback suggests these are the best “bridge” dessert for people trying to cut down on traditional ice cream without sacrificing creaminess.
8. Ben & Jerry’s Peanut Butter World – $5.99
-
The Buzz: Stays relevant as a “Target Exclusive” must-buy.
-
Feedback: Reviewers on YouTube call this the “heaviest” B&J pint. The feedback emphasizes the salty-sweet balance of the peanut butter swirls as the reason it beats out the standard Chocolate Fudge Brownie.
9. Favorite Day Cheesecake Bites – $8.29
-
The Buzz: Frequently cited in “Hosting Hacks” discussions for winter parties.
-
Feedback: The Strawberry Swirl is the crowd favorite in the 24-count box. Testers suggest letting them thaw for exactly 15 minutes; any longer and the crust can become soggy.
10. Favorite Day Mocha Cold Brew Ice Cream – $3.99
-
The Buzz: A “best-kept secret” among coffee enthusiasts.
-
Feedback: Praised for its bold coffee bitterness. Unlike other “coffee” flavors that are mostly sugar, feedback highlights the “real caffeine kick” and reduced-fat profile.
11. Edwards Frozen Chocolate Creme Pie – $6.49
-
The Buzz: Nostalgia-driven buzz appearing in “comfort food” video shorts.
-
Feedback: Fans love the convenience, but some recent feedback warns that the cookie crumb crust can be difficult to slice neatly if the pie is still too frozen.
