The search has been high and low with everyone appearing to have struggled but finally, the NEW Oreos have been located! Well, the Mint option is still unobtainable but the Strawberry Cheesecake now seem to be in most Asda stores which is who I need to thank for todays review!
The strawberry cheesecake Oreo is a tasty sandwich biscuit filled with creamy strawberry flavour centre. Yum!
I picked up two, 154g packets for 50p each, passing one on to my fellow Oreo enthusiast and general BFF, NibsnScribs (Go read her review!). Having read the description of the Veggie friendly biscuits, I was instantly dubious to just how "cheesecake" they would be.. The list of ingredients did nothing to reassure me either.
I was practically engulfed in a strong strawberry milkshake scent upon opening the packet - It was very sweet, slightly artificial and undoubtedly familiar. Having a munch, the biscuits themselves were up to the usual standard in being crunchy with the signature chocolatey, Oreo flavour that we all know and love. As for the cream centre, it certainly packed a punch, tasting just as they smelt - Not cheesecake in the slightest but instead uncanny to the centres of Strawberry Hello Panda. Together, I am not sure how well the two elements complimented one another given that the centre was so overpowering - A bit of a strange match!
Overall, I can't say these NEW LE Strawberry Cheesecake Oreos do it for me unfortunately.. I love Hello Panda but in my opinion, such a strong strawberry flavour just doesn't suit this kind of chocolate biscuit - Not to mention the fact they aren't cheesecake in the slightest! Here's to hoping the Mint fair better.. If we ever find them that is! It's a 2.5 out of 5 from me.
Ooooh the conflict!! You clearly gave me the better packet haha. Twinning it Sista xxxx
ReplyDeleteOh so contrasting Peanut! Haha I think I did.. I reckon I would've preferred the strawberry in the golden Oreos rather than chocolate. I'm put that in the suggestion box! xx
DeleteAhh I hate it when things are advertised as 'cheesecake' and they very rarely live up to their description, it's almost like they just put it on to tempt people but don't even attempt to make them into that flavour.
ReplyDeleteI definitely think strawberry would work better with golden Oreo.
I have these sitting in my kitchen cupboard, I hate sharing sizes because they always go stale before I can eat them, these feel like they will bea major let down!
