Costco’s key lime pie is back and people are over the moon.

Driving the news: The tart dessert is here for a limited time only, sticking around until the end of summer.

  • The wholesale retailer is known for its delicious, affordable pies, like pumpkin and pecan. In 2019, Costco sold over 6 million pies, Reader’s Digest reported.

What they’re saying: According to @costcodeals on Instagram, the key lime pie weighs a hefty 4.25 pounds and is priced at $15.99.

  • Reddit users shared their thoughts on the dessert, with positive reviews overall. Ollie2Stewart1 believes the key lime pie may be “... one of (Costco’s) best baked goods. Really yummy!”
  • Another user argued that a little goes a long way with the summer dessert, saying, “It’s good, but very sweet and rich. A very small piece is enough.”
  • Other commenters shared that you can always freeze the pie and eat it later if it’s too much.

Details: Each pie has 16 slices, serving up to 16 people, per Cost Contessa.

  • If a four-pound key lime pie is too much for you, you can try one of Costco’s new mini raspberry cakes instead for $8.99 per box, Hunker reports.
