\"Dunkin\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n

When it comes to cheese and desserts, I have mixed feelings.<\/p>\n

Cheese and pie? No thanks. The last time I tried a slice of apple pie topped with cheddar cheese, I began gagging like my neighbor\u2019s cat when it swallowed a whole hot dog. (Come to think of it, we never did figure out how poor ol\u2019 Sassy Boots fit that 6-inch frankfurter down his esophagus, but damn, that\u2019s one talented cat.)<\/p>\n

Cheese and cake<\/i>? Cheesecake!? Yes, please! I love cheesecake, so when I heard about the new Oreo Cheesecake Square at Dunkin\u2019 Donuts, I began drooling more than my neighbor\u2019s cat does whenever someone starts grilling a pack of Oscar Mayer Wieners. (Sassy Boots really, really likes hot dogs. Don\u2019t judge.)<\/p>\n

Available through April, the Oreo Cheesecake Square donut is frosted with white icing, topped with Oreo cookie crumbles, and filled with a creamy cheesecake filling. To be clear, Dunkin\u2019 Donuts products and Oreos have <\/a>mingled in the past, and Dunkin\u2019 certainly isn\u2019t doing anything radical or original here. Both Oreo and cheesecake flavors are hard to dislike, making the Oreo Cheesecake Square an easy shot at a crowd-pleaser.<\/p>\n

Like most filled donuts sold at Dunkin\u2019 Donuts, the Oreo Cheesecake Square suffers from PCD: poor cream distribution. With the filling concentrated entirely in the middle of the donut, all four corners of my Oreo Cheesecake Square were as empty as a mosh pit at a Bee Gees concert. (Ever try thrashing to “How Deep Is Your Love?” Yeah, not possible.) These first few creamless bites melded the sugary white frosting with the chocolate Oreo crumbles into a traditional cookies ‘n cream flavor.<\/p>\n

Frankly, I\u2019m surprised a cookies \u2018n cream donut has yet to join the regular menu at Dunkin\u2019, and this donut presents a glimpse of what we\u2019ve been missing. The duo of white frosting and Oreo crumbles seems a perfect fit for the fluffy yeast donut base.<\/p>\n

\"Dunkin\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n

As I reached the center of the donut, I encountered the cheesecake cream. The filling\u2019s most apparent trait is its cream cheese-like tang, which pushes to the forefront of each bite. The creamy, dairy flavor is more mild than in an actual cheesecake \u2014 this could be why the filling also feels less dense than an actual cheesecake. At times, the cream\u2019s lukewarm temperature made me uncomfortable; I\u2019m used to eating my cheesecake chilled, and I can\u2019t help but feel this donut would be better after an hour in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n

Though the filling inside of the Dunkin\u2019 Donuts Oreo Cheesecake Square isn\u2019t a perfect replication of cheesecake flavor, I enjoyed the creamy, chocolatey, and tangy characteristics of this donut. It\u2019s just as tasty as the other donuts on the Dunkin\u2019 menu, but because there\u2019s nothing groundbreaking here, I can\u2019t call it spectacular. In other words, it\u2019s not worth a special trip to your local Dunkin\u2019, but it certainly deserves a spot in your next dozen.<\/p>\n

Ya know, maybe a little cheese in desserts isn\u2019t so bad after all.<\/p>\n

But definitely not with my Grandma Nadezhda\u2019s Chocolate Head Cheese<\/a> Surprise. Blech.<\/p>\n
