7 New Frozen Foods Just Hit Grocery Shelves

Grocery shopping just got a whole lot more exciting!

I was pushing my cart down the frozen food aisle last week when I spotted a treasure trove of new items that weren’t there during my previous shopping trip.

From innovative pizzas to mouthwatering desserts, these newcomers are game-changers for quick meals and sweet treats.

Let me walk you through the frozen food newbies that’ll make your taste buds do a happy dance!

1. The Grill Master Collection

Fire up your taste buds without firing up the actual grill! I stumbled upon this gem while hunting for a quick dinner solution during a thunderstorm that ruined my backyard BBQ plans. The collection features perfectly seasoned burger patties, pre-marinated chicken, and—my personal favorite—those smoky cedar-planked salmon fillets that taste like summer.

What makes these products stand out is the flame-kissed flavor that genuinely mimics fresh-off-the-grill goodness. No more waiting for perfect weather to enjoy grilled favorites!

The convenient individual packaging means you can grab just what you need without thawing the entire box. Perfect for those nights when you’re craving that cookout taste but can’t be bothered to scrub grill grates afterward.

Whoever said you can’t have dessert after pizza hasn’t met this mind-bending creation! Part cookie, part pizza, this circular sweet treat had me questioning everything I thought I knew about desserts. The buttery cookie base is topped with a tangy lemon curd ‘sauce’ and white chocolate ‘cheese’ that melts perfectly when warmed.

My nephew thought I was playing a prank when I served this after dinner—until he took his first bite and declared it ‘epic.’ The edges crisp up just right while the center stays delightfully chewy.

Each box contains two 8-inch cookie pizzas, perfect for sharing or, let’s be honest, eating alone over two nights while binge-watching your favorite show. Don’t judge—I’ve done the research for you!

3. Sundae Shoppe Italian Gelato Cups

Holy cannoli, these gelato cups are a game-changer! Remember that little gelato shop I wouldn’t stop talking about after my trip to Florence? These frozen cups bring me right back to that charming Italian piazza without the airfare.

Each package comes with four individual cups in flavors like pistachio, stracciatella, and my absolute favorite—hazelnut chocolate swirl. The texture is remarkably smooth and creamy, without that icy crunch that ruins most frozen desserts.

The single-serving cups are genius for portion control (though I’ve definitely polished off two in one sitting—no regrets). They’re the perfect size for satisfying a sweet craving without going overboard. Plus, they’re fancy enough to serve when friends come over!

4. Sweet Ripe Plantains

Jackpot! My endless search for perfectly ripened plantains is finally over! Last Tuesday, while grabbing my usual frozen veggies, I spotted these golden beauties and literally gasped out loud (embarrassing my teenage daughter in the process).

Already peeled, sliced, and flash-frozen at peak ripeness, these plantains deliver that caramelized sweetness that’s nearly impossible to achieve unless you’ve been hoarding plantains on your counter for days. Just 10 minutes in a skillet with a touch of butter, and they develop that gorgeous golden-brown exterior with a tender, sweet interior.

My Caribbean-inspired dinners have leveled up tremendously. These make an amazing side dish with spicy chicken or pork, and I’ve even used them in breakfast bowls topped with yogurt and honey. Game-changer!

5. Farm Rich Crispy Dill Pickles

Pickle lovers, our moment has arrived! These crispy dill pickle bites have officially replaced my late-night chip cravings. The crunchy breading has just the right amount of seasoning, while the pickle inside stays juicy and tangy—not soggy like homemade attempts that leave me disappointed.

I served these at my book club meeting with a side of ranch dipping sauce, and they vanished faster than the wine! Even my pickle-skeptic husband couldn’t stop munching on them while claiming he was ‘just trying another one to be sure.’

They crisp up perfectly in both the air fryer (6 minutes) and conventional oven (12 minutes). The resealable bag is dangerous though—I’ve definitely stood in front of the freezer eating ‘just one more’ straight from the bag!

6. Goodpop Organic Cherry N’ Lemonade Juice Pops

Summer arrived early in my freezer this year! These popsicles knocked my socks off with their perfect sweet-tart balance that transported me straight to childhood—minus all the artificial junk from the ice cream truck days.

Each pop features two distinct layers: tart cherry on top and refreshing lemonade on the bottom. The colors are vibrant and natural (from actual fruit!), not that weird neon stuff that makes you question your life choices. My kids think I’m the coolest mom ever for stocking these, not realizing they’re actually made with organic fruit juice and have no added sugar.

The wooden sticks are compostable, and the packaging is recyclable—something my environmentally conscious heart appreciates. I’ve already hidden a second box in the back of the freezer behind the frozen peas. Strategic parenting at its finest!

7. Strawberry Shortcake Bites

Bite-sized pieces of heaven! That’s the only way to describe these little nuggets of joy that have become my guilty pleasure during my weekly reality TV marathons. Each bite combines vanilla cake, strawberry filling, and a cream cheese coating that somehow stays intact until you bite into it.

The genius of these treats is in their portion control—each piece delivers the perfect ratio of cake to berry to cream. They thaw in just 5 minutes at room temperature, but I’ve discovered they’re absolutely divine when eaten still slightly frozen, with the center maintaining a creamy-meets-icy texture that’s utterly addictive.

Fair warning: the serving suggestion of four pieces per person is wildly optimistic. I’ve never managed to stop before eating at least six! They’re perfect for impromptu guests or satisfying sweet cravings without baking an entire dessert.
