Culver's Unveils Oreo Reese's Cheesecake: A Dessert Dream Come True
By Editor • September 3, 2026 • 3 min read
If you're torn between dessert options and longing for something to satisfy all your cravings, Culver's has just the treat for you. Launching on September 2, 2026, the Oreo Reese's Cheesecake is the latest Flavor of the Day, combining smooth vanilla fresh frozen custard with crunchy Oreo pieces, chunky Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, and creamy bites of cheesecake.
This dessert follows the successful limited-edition Oreo Reese's Cheesecake Concrete Mixer earlier this summer, and it's now available in a scoopable format perfect for cups and cones. As the second permanent addition to Culver's extensive daily flavor offerings this year, it joins the already popular Peanut Butter Fudge Brownie, which debuted in August.
On launch day, I visited my local Culver's with a mission: to determine if this decadent creation was a harmonious blend of flavors or a chaotic mix of ingredients. Originally intending to savor it in a waffle cone, I opted for a two-scoop dish instead, given the sweltering heat in the Chicagoland area.
While placing my order at the drive-thru, I learned that Culver's custard has a notable characteristic—it is served slightly warmer than regular ice cream but is crafted to maintain its form longer. The secret lies in the addition of egg yolks, which lend a rich, velvety texture to the custard.
When my order arrived, I was greeted by a generous serving of toppings. The cheesecake pieces were perfectly cut into little squares, while the Oreo cookies and Reese's cups were crumbled and mixed throughout, making it impossible to wait until I got home. I parked and dove right in with my signature blue spoon.
The first bite revealed a delightful balance of textures. The frozen custard remained creamy despite the plethora of mix-ins, offering a blend of sweetness, savory notes from the peanut butter, and a surprising tang from the cheesecake. The dessert is packed with flavor, and the distribution of toppings ensures every scoop is a treat.
Far from being a mere afterthought, the cheesecake bites from Eli's, a renowned Chicago bakery, contributed significantly to the overall flavor profile. Their soft texture provided a pleasant contrast to the crunch of the Oreos and the richness of the Reese's cups. It became evident that this Flavor of the Day is designed for sharing, with its hefty richness and satisfying sweetness.
Culver's decision to use a vanilla base was a smart one, allowing the mix-ins to shine without overwhelming the palate. The Oreo Reese's Cheesecake is undeniably indulgent, yet it never tips into excess. This Midwestern delight is worthy of your attention when it arrives at your local Culver's.
Oreo Reese's Cheesecake will be featured in 26 states as part of Culver's rotating menu, so be sure to check your local Flavor of the Day online. For fans of unique frozen custard flavors, Culver's has plenty more to offer, including seasonal favorites like Pumpkin S'Mores Concrete Mixer, which I eagerly await.
As a note for the curious, a one-scoop dish of this delectable custard is priced at $3.59, with additional toppings available for a small fee. With its rich blend of flavors and textures, Oreo Reese's Cheesecake is a must-try for dessert lovers.
