The dessert aisle at any Trader Joe’s location has no shortage of stellar frozen treats, drool-worthy cookies and pies, and more. And while you really can’t go wrong with any TJ’s dessert, some are just better than others. Additionally, certain finds are so good that they win a coveted Trader Joe’s Customer Choice Award.
The trophies are handed out annually each January across several different categories, and the winners earn millions of votes from TJ’s shoppers all across the nation. This year, for the 16th Annual Trader Joe’s Customer Choice Awards, the winning items spanned across 11 distinct categories, including favorite snack, favorite breakfast and brunch item, favorite produce, and more.
One winner worth singling out? The TJ’s item that snagged the top spot in the Favorite Trader Joe’s Sweet Treat category two years in a row. With delectable desserts such as blood orange mochi and the Milk Chocolate Covered Honeycomb Candy, there are plenty of quality treats to choose from when shopping at TJ’s, but only one can reign supreme. For some, the winner—Sublime Ice Cream Sandwiches—are so delicious that they’re in a league of their own.

The award-winning dessert has been a Trader Joe’s staple for years, and it’s easy to see why. The sweet find is essentially TJ’s take on a classic ice cream sandwich, but better. If you’re unfamiliar with the Sublime Ice Cream Sandwiches, each one consists of premium vanilla ice cream sandwiched between chocolate chip cookies. As if that wasn’t enough, each ice cream sandwich is then rolled in mini chocolate chips for yet another dose of chocolate deliciousness. The ratio of ice cream to cookie is practically perfect, and since the recipe took months to perfect (including several trips to the infamous TJ’s tasting panel), you know it’s darn good.
Given that this dessert has won a coveted Trader Joe’s Customer Choice Award multiple times, it’s no surprise that shoppers love it and buy it repeatedly. “This ice cream cookie sandwich should be renamed from Sublime to Manna, because it truly is heavenly. Even those who don’t usually go for the ice cream sandwich novelties will experience an euphoric sustenance that could only come from the gods,” one delighted Reddit user shared. “I’ve most likely bought these each week for the past 12 weeks with absolutely no regrets!”
And even though the Sublime Ice Cream Sandwiches have been around for several years, they’re still reeling in new fans because they’re that good. “Just tried them for the first time and HOLY MOLY they are perfection,” another Reddit user wrote.
So, what are you waiting for? Add Trader Joe’s Sublime Ice Cream Sandwiches to your grocery list ASAP!
