Pumpkin cheesecake has entered the chat. And not just any cheesecake: Sam\u2019s Club\u2019s Member\u2019s Mark Pumpkin Cheesecake. While select Sam\u2019s Club members have been lucky enough to spot this seasonal drop in the freezer cases earlier than expected<\/a>, the decadent dessert is finally hitting shelves nationwide this week.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n We got our hands on a box ahead of launch to sample. Here\u2019s everything you need to know about this fall marvel, including our honest review.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n There\u2019s a reason Sam\u2019s Club Stans<\/a> keep their eyes peeled for the limited-edition pumpkin cheesecake. It\u2019s a member favorite<\/a> \u2014\u00a0and (spoiler!) for good reason. Weighing in at a whopping 4.5 pounds, the frozen dessert is part New York-style cheesecake\/part pumpkin pie, which means it\u2019s basically two desserts in one hefty box. Priced at $17.98, it serves 14 and comes pre-sliced (very convenient). According to package instructions, it should be thawed in the refrigerator \u201cfor a minimum of 24 hours\u201d (slightly less convenient) and served chilled.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Once I passed the thawing stage (note to self: always read instructions all the way through at the start), it was time to taste. A dessert this large is meant for sharing, which is exactly what I did. I set the chilled cheesecake out on a table at The Kitchn offices for all who wanted to enjoy \u2014\u00a0and, of course, provide feedback. (There is no free As our video producer, Vixon says, \u201cthis cheesecake is heavy on the pumpkin flavor, in a good way.\u201d It combines the best of both dessert worlds \u2014\u00a0pumpkin cheesecake<\/a> and pumpkin pie<\/a> \u2014\u00a0into one satisfying bite. One straggling taster didn\u2019t even realize the pumpkin cheesecake came from a box, questioning midway through: \u201cWait, this is store-bought<\/em>?!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n True to the NY-style cheesecakes<\/a> I grew up eating, this one is creamy and RICH. \u201cThough I like my cheesecake<\/a> firmer,\u201d adds Vixon, \u201cit had a nice consistency, which you can\u2019t be mad at.\u201d (We recommend serving this immediately from the fridge and returning any uneaten slices to said fridge for optimal consistency.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The flavor of the pumpkin-swirl is a little faint, but it\u2019s bolstered by the sliver of pumpkin-pie-esque filling that rests just above the graham cracker crust (which is both sturdy and adds a crumbly texture to the party). The denser cheesecake is also a nice contrast to the silky pumpkin filling.\u00a0<\/p>\n And if you thought for a second, those slices look a little thin, fear not! They were so filled, we had three left over after the tasting.
