I try a lot of seasonal desserts at Trader Joe's, and these Pumpkin Ginger Hold the Cones instantly became my new favorite. They're tiny, but the flavor delivers like a full-size dessert - and the ginger cone is the best part.
Where to find them
These live in the frozen dessert section with the other Hold the Cone flavors. The box is small and easy to overlook, so if you spot them, don't hesitate - they never stay in stock long once fall hits.
Taste & texture
The pumpkin ice cream has a warm spice flavor that tastes like actual pumpkin pie, not an artificial syrup situation. It's creamy and smooth, and the spice blend is just right.
But that ginger cone is what makes the whole thing shine. It has a gentle kick, a crisp bite, and a thin chocolate lining inside that keeps it from getting soggy. By the time you get to the bottom of the cone, the chocolate crunch + leftover ice cream combo is perfection.
Why I'm obsessed
These aren't just "cute." They actually taste like a dessert that belongs in fall - a mix of ginger cookie energy with pumpkin pie flavor. And because they're mini, they don't feel heavy, which is exactly what I want in a fall treat when there's already too much good food around. This is probably my favorite fall dessert!
