My Mom Made Nostalgic Cheesecake and it Tastes like the 90’s

If you were born between 1982 – 2004, you are scientifically dubbed as a millennial. And some people may look at millennials and say things like “Stop snapfacing!” and “How do I send a twit?” But as millennials we must stand together because we all grew up during the greatest time period ever: the ’90s.

The ‘90’s were filled with the best cartoons, games, and of course, food. I loved it when my mom would pack me Dunkaroos or Oreos as my snack for lunch – it also packed quite a few cavities, but hey, I was living the dream. One day my mom decided to combine the two snack favorites, making them into one of the sweetest desserts of all time: Dunkaroo Oreo Cheesecake

What you’re probably thinking is, “Wait, what?”

Yes, you read that right. Dunkaroo Oreo Cheesecake made with iced animal crackers, tons of sprinkles, and of course, Oreos. So my mom, the lovely woman that she is, made this cheesecake and I had to share this with you. If there’s one thing that could taste like the 90’s, this is definitely it.
