But getting back to the original question, even though I trust you could figure it out on your own, the Oreo Cheesecake Blizzard has Oreo cookie chunks and cheesecake pieces.<\/p>\n<h3>How is it?<\/h3>\n<p>Regardless of whether this Blizzard is truly new or not, it is truly good. It doesn\u2019t have a fancy name, a superhero tie-in, or any unique ingredients like some of its Summer Blizzard Menu friends, but sometimes simpler is better. <\/p>\n<p>Oreo cookies have been a staple of Blizzards since the frozen treat debuted in 1985 (although DQ apparently had a thick milkshake in the 1960s, also called a Blizzard) and cheesecake pieces have been a common component in recent years. So I can\u2019t give DQ much credit for creativity here, but I\u2019ll take great-tasting over great creativity any day. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Dairy-Queen-Oreo-Cheesecake-Blizzard-3.jpeg?resize=600%2C692&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Dairy Queen Oreo Cheesecake Blizzard 3\" title=\"Dairy Queen Oreo Cheesecake Blizzard 3.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"692\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m going to take a leap of faith and assume you all know what an Oreo taste like. If you like them and you like Blizzards, then the only issue here is what the cheesecake pieces bring to the party. Well, they are bringing a keg (and not Natural Light), a bunch of pizzas, and a high-end sound system because they are awesome and know how to party. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Dairy-Queen-Oreo-Cheesecake-Blizzard-2.jpeg?resize=600%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Dairy Queen Oreo Cheesecake Blizzard 2\" title=\"Dairy Queen Oreo Cheesecake Blizzard 2.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The chunks are sizable and plentiful, and their texture is a perfect contrast with the crunch of the Oreo. I almost named my dog Cheesecake, so you can be confident that I am fully qualified to judge the quality of cheesecake. And I really want to know where DQ gets its cheesecake pieces because they are perfectly sweet and creamy. The vanilla soft serve takes on a chocolate flavor from the pulverized pieces of Oreo, and it blends beautifully with the cheesecake. This is how the Queen of Dairy would want a Blizzard to be.<\/p>\n<h3>Anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n<p>Kudos go out to my Door Dasher, who challenged the already outrageous pre-summer Texas heat and prevailed to deliver my Blizzard still fully frozen. He even gave it that trademark DQ upside down-flip as he left it at my doorstep. Fun fact: Kudos granola bars were introduced in 1986, one year after the Blizzard. Not so fun fact: Kudos are no longer being made, and I really want one, especially the kind with chocolate and M&#038;M\u2019s that was more candy bar than granola bar. <\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion:<\/h3>\n<p>This Blizzard is not <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/2016\/05\/06\/review-dairy-queen-royal-oreo-blizzard\/\">royal<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/2018\/08\/02\/quick-review-dairy-queen-reeses-outrageous-blizzard\/\">outrageous<\/a> and doesn\u2019t involve any kind of \u201cquake\u201d like some prior cheesecake versions, but it tastes great and has earned a spot as one of my favorites.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $3.99<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> Medium<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 9 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> (Medium) 1,220 calories, 58 grams of fat, 24 grams of saturated fat, 1.5 grams of trans fat, 95 milligrams of cholesterol, 740 milligrams of sodium, 159 grams of carbohydrates, 5 grams of dietary fiber, 115 grams of sugar, and 20 grams of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the Dairy Queen Oreo Cheesecake Blizzard?
