The Cheesecake Factory’s pleasant treats embody Valentine’s day foods like chocolates and candy inflicting feelings of both warmth and sweetness.

Despite being located in Novi, the trip to the Cheesecake Factory becomes worthwhile after getting a taste of the different kinds of cheesecake this place has to offer. The best among all the sweet treats on the menu is the Oreo Cheesecake.

At first glance, one observes that the wonderful dessert shows great appeal. Each serving comes with a large flavor-packed isosceles triangle slice. Brown, milk chocolate frosting covers the top. On the shorter side of the slice, the dessert arrives covered with Oreo crumble and includes white frosting layered on the inside, giving the “Oreo” layered effect. 

The thin bottom layer incorporates a dark brown color, with the consistency of a chocolate cake. The second layer contains the milk chocolate layer found covered on top of the slice, having a smooth frosty texture. Cream cheese white frosting that looks like the inside of the traditional Oreo cookie tops the second layer. The pattern continues throughout the slice. On top of the cake, stripes are drawn across the top as well as a swirl put at the short end of the slice. 

On the side of the dish, it comes with a large dollop of whipped cream that resembles a ruffle kind of look. From the cake arises a chocolatey scent with a hint of vanilla added in, already pleasing one’s senses before taking a bite. When taking the first bite of this treat, only one word can describe the taste. Heavenly. The way the cream cheese frosting, cocoa bean and Oreo cookie crumble blend together create the perfect explosion of flavors. 

While the slice tastes like a regular Oreo cookie with a soft cakey texture, the whipped cream paired with it adds an extra vanilla sweetness that leaves one wanting more. It is also very filling, making it understandable that the dessert only comes in one slice. It’s addicting to say the least. It not only exceeds expectations for its beauty and presentation but tastes better than the traditional Oreo cookie itself. 

Despite it being so appetizing and pleasant to the taste buds, the Oreo Cheesecake may be overbearing for some. For example, those who look for a subtle taste in desserts, including a light balance, might not go to this dish due to the heavy flavors included.

Although the flavors may be too powerful for some, the Oreo Cheesecake dessert sums up Valentine’s perfectly: an explosion of sweetness and delight. The appetizing dish is the most delicious treat one can get. Its distinctive yet beautiful presentation and tang leaves one speechless.  

All in all, this dessert rates a four point five out of five Oreos.
