Oreo Cheesecake-Max’s Deli
Born and raised in the west side suburbs and grew up going to Max’s Deli in Rocky River through the 80’s to 90’s. I must have had their Oreo Cheesecake a hundred times.
When Max’s closed I began searching for a comparable Oreo cheesecake. The Cheesecake Factory version doesn’t hold a candle, nor does the version sold at Joe’s Deli.
Now a grown ass adult, I began making my own out of desperation. Still never quite nailing it.
Today, I visited the Manhattan Deli in Willoughby. My lunch mate asked for a cookie to go and I decided to get a slice of their Oreo cheesecake, already bracing for disappointment.
Folks, I’m telling you, THIS IS THE EXACT OREO CHEESECAKE that Max’s served. One bite brought back a flood of memories.
I’m sharing this because I cannot be the only one. Max’s was insanely popular. I don’t know about any of their other desserts but this damn Oreo Cheesecake is THE BOMB.
