Key Takeaways

Aldi shoppers are buzzing about a frozen dessert that reminds them of a discontinued Trader Joe’s favorite.

The sweet treat features a nostalgic flavor in a pint-sized container.

Fans praise the texture and taste, with some already heading back to the store for more.

Frugal shoppers know that when it comes to copycat products, there’s no better store to spend your hard-earned dollars than Aldi. Whether you’re in search of inexpensive kitchenware that looks high-end, fast-food favorites for less, or cheaper versions of your go-to specialty items, there’s no limit to what you might find.

Recently, Aldi shoppers spotted a copycat of a discontinued Trader Joe’s frozen dessert, and they’re already going back for more.

Aldi’s New Sundae Shoppe Birthday Cake Gelato

Sundae Shoppe Birthday Cake Gelato just hit shelves at Aldi. The pint features the classic birthday cake flavor you love in a scoopable form that’s perfect for summer snacking.

If Sundae Shoppe Birthday Cake Gelato seems familiar, it’s because it has been on shelves before. The flavor was a favorite among shoppers for years, but this time, it looks a little different. Rather than the store’s typical 28.5-ounce tub, it’s now in a pint-sized container.

From the looks of it, the ingredients seem much the same, including a birthday cake-flavored base, blue frosting swirls, and a generous portion of colorful sprinkles.

We couldn’t help but notice that Aldi’s birthday cake gelato looks strikingly similar to Trader Joe’s Celebration Cake Gelato, which hasn’t been seen on shelves since last summer. Unlike TJ’s version, however, Aldi’s does not have actual cake pieces—but that doesn’t appear to be a deal breaker for fans.

“It’s the best ice cream I’ve ever had,” said one Redditor.

“I just had this for the first time last night, and it’s already on my list to pick up again tonight,” said one user in a separate thread.

“The texture is light and airy, and you can easily eat it with a spoon straight from the freezer. No wait time necessary,” a third wrote.

Sundae Shoppe Birthday Cake Gelato can be found in the Aldi freezer section. It may not taste exactly like TJ’s, but if you’re craving a celebration-worthy treat, we don’t doubt this festive pint will satisfy.
