Cheesecakes are among my top favorite desserts, alongside pumpkin pie and ice cream. When I found out that Aldi was selling a Belmont Caramel Apple Whipped Cheesecake, it looked appetizing.
The description on the back of the box says it’s a “Creamy Carmel Whipped Cheesecake with Apple Sauce topped with Caramel Curls and Whipped Creme in a Cookie Crumb Crust”. The cost was $5.99 at the time of publication. Aldi also sold a Belmont Pumpkin Spice Whipped Cheesecake alongside the Caramel Apple one. Both of these whipped cheesecakes are products of Germany.
This is an Aldi Find, which means it’s only in stores for a short time. Each store gets one shipment, and once that sells out, it’s gone unless Aldi decides to bring it back later. Aldi doesn’t offer online ordering for products that are not in stock at your local store.

Out of the box.
The serving instructions on the back of the box say to keep this frozen until ready to serve. To thaw the whole cheesecake, remove it from the carton. Thaw in the refrigerator for approximately 2 ½-3 hours (or thaw at room temperature for 1 ½-2 hours). To thaw one slice, cut a slice of frozen cheesecake using a warm wet knife. Thaw the slice in refrigerator for 45-60 minutes.
Reminder: freezers and refrigerators may vary. Adjustments to time may be required. Cover any unused portions. If frozen, return to the freezer. If defrosted, return to the refrigerator for up to three days. Do not refreeze and do not microwave.
One serving. Notice the apple pie filling at the tip of this slice, with creamy whipped cheesecake in the center topped with whipped cream and caramel curls.
This cheesecake was definitely my favorite out of the the two whipped cheesecakes that Aldi sold at this time. The cheesecake has apple chunks in the middle of the cake, and though I’m usually not a big fan of apple desserts, I liked this. It reminded me of apple pie or sweetened fried apples, which I usually don’t like much either, but this was an exception.
In addition to the apple pie-like filling in the center, my family also liked the cheesecake filling and the whipped cream. We agreed that the caramel curls on the top of the cheesecake added interesting texture and made it taste better, too.
The Verdict:
This is actually one of my favorites among the whipped cheesecakes I’ve had from Aldi. It features creamy caramel whipped cheesecake with apple sauce and small chunks of apple pie-like filling along with crisp caramel curls and whipped cream, all in a cookie crust. I would definitely buy it again.
