If you're in charge of dessert for a Fourth of July barbecue this year, there's a good chance you're looking for something festive that doesn't require hours in the kitchen. Between firing up the grill, preparing side dishes, and getting ready for fireworks, the last thing you want is another complicated recipe to tackle.

That's what makes this new Costco dessert such a fun summer find.

Atelier Cécile's Strawberry & Vanilla Cups have arrived in stores, and they're individually portioned treats dressed in patriotic red, white, and blue packaging made for holiday celebrations. The desserts come in an 8-pack ($13.99), with each cup weighing 2.61 ounces (1.305 pounds total per pack), and are already catching attention thanks to their festive appearance and easy grab-and-go format.

You can see them in this June 28 TikTok from @costcobuys:

Each dessert features a vanilla crumble bottom layered with velvety vanilla mousse, topped with a strawberry coulis glaze, and finished with white chocolate star sprinkles.

Single-serve desserts can make serving a crowd so much easier. There's no slicing, plating, or worrying about portions, and guests can simply grab a cup and enjoy.

That's part of what makes these new Costco finds stand out. Not only do they bring plenty of patriotic flair to the dessert table, but they're also ready to serve straight from the refrigerator. The red, white, and blue presentation feels especially fitting as America prepares to celebrate its 250th birthday this year.

The desserts were recently spotted at a Costco warehouse under item #1838057, priced at $13.99 for the 8-count pack. Availability can vary by location, but you can use the item number in the Costco app to check whether it's available at a warehouse near you.

Whether you're hosting a backyard gathering or simply looking for a festive dessert to bring along to someone else's celebration, these colorful strawberry vanilla cups may be one of Costco's sweetest summer finds yet.
