\"Baskin<\/p>\n

The crafty cookie-obsessed churners at Baskin-Robbins entered the middle of 2017 facing a real dilemma. How the hell could they make another dessert-themed frozen dessert with the iconic Oreo? <\/p>\n

It isn’t enough that the chain always stocks Cookies n\u2019 Cream and now has Golden Oreo \u2019N Churro as a summer seasonal. Even last month’s <\/a>All About Oreo couldn’t possibly quench America’s thirst for the beloved sandwiched “white stuff.\u201d There needed to be another…layer.<\/p>\n

After malted chocolate and cake batter and birthday cake and cereal and mint, there’s seemingly only one place to go – the decadent, heavy, cheesecake. One of the oldest desserts in history, which was allegedly served to athletes at the first Olympic Games, was destined to make sweet creamy magic with Nabisco’s #1 seller during the 50th anniversary of the Summer of Love<\/a>. Baskin-Robbins\u2019 Oreo Cheesecake combines Oreo cookie pieces, cheesecake pieces, and a chocolate cookie crumb ribbon in cheesecake flavored ice cream.<\/p>\n

The base is immediately apparent with a distinct tanginess that jumps out from the first bite and doesn\u2019t fade. It\u2019s smooth, velvety, and delicious with a good balance of sweet and savory. Oddly, the tang reminds me a little bit more of Greek yogurt than cheesecake, as I don\u2019t get any particular cheesiness coming through. But the point gets across and I don\u2019t think I\u2019m eating vanilla or sweet cream.<\/p>\n

\"Baskin<\/p>\n

The cheesiness goes up a notch with the actual cheesecake pieces. They’re like those small-to-medium sized ones you can find at build your own frozen yogurt shops. They\u2019ve maintained their squishy-dense texture and give off a hint of graham cracker crust flavor that pops against the tangy ice cream base.<\/p>\n

\"Baskin<\/p>\n

I worried about the redundancy of the Oreo pieces and cookie crumb ribbon, but the two are distinct and interwoven very well throughout the scoop. The ribbon is more akin to what you find in typical cookies and cream flavors, with some good gritty texture and mellow bitter cocoa notes. <\/p>\n

\"Baskin<\/p>\n

Much more prominent are the bigger pieces of Oreo cookie, which have entire layers of creme filling intact. They’re a welcomed sweet element to temper the tang of the cheesecake. The wafer cookies soften and soak up the creamy goodness, and the sizes of the mix-ins are pretty big for Baskin-Robbins\u2019 standards which makes the whole experience elevated and impressive for what I expect at a chain shop. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s a pretty simple recipe – Oreo and cheesecake. Baskin-Robbins could’ve been lazy with this one and made a cookies & cream ice cream with a cheesecake base, but they didn\u2019t. By hitting each element from two different angles, this monthly special is one of the more enticing in recent memory. It’s worth scooping up to end the last full month of summer on a blissfully tangy sweet frozen note.<\/p>\n
