Then I googled a no-bake version to make them even easier. These are the perfect little sweet snack for tailgating. You can make them up to two days in advance. Store them in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n<h2>Football Friday Tailgate Recipe: Oreo Cheesecake Bites<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"directions-header\">\n<div role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\">\n<div class=\"ingredients-header\">\n<h4 class=\"ingredients-header-title\" role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><strong>Ingredients:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ingredients-body\">\n<div class=\"ingredient-section ingredient-section-1\">\n<div class=\"ingredient-lists\">\n<ul>\n<li class=\"ingredient-item\"><span class=\"ingredient-amount\">24 &#8211; 48 <\/span>chocolate sandwich cookies, ie: Oreos<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient-item\"><span class=\"ingredient-amount\">12 oz. <\/span>cream cheese softened<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient-item\"><span class=\"ingredient-amount\">1\/4 c. <\/span>granulated sugar<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient-item\"><span class=\"ingredient-amount\">3 tbsp. <\/span>sour cream<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient-item\"><span class=\"ingredient-amount\">1 tsp. <\/span>vanilla extract<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient-item\">Pinch of kosher salt<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient-item\"><span class=\"ingredient-amount\">1\/2 c. <\/span>heavy cream<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>Directions:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"directions-body\">\n<div class=\"direction-section direction-section-1\">\n<div class=\"direction-lists\">\n<ol>\n<li>Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. Place 1 Oreo in each of the liners.<\/li>\n<li>Place the remaining 12 Oreos in a large ziptop bag and crush them up.<\/li>\n<li>In a bowl and a hand mixer or stand mixer (with a paddle attachment) beat the cream cheese on medium until smooth, about 2 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Add the sugar, sour cream, vanilla, and salt to the cream cheese.

At least 6 hours or up to 2 days.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4><strong>PRO TIP: How do you thicken no-bake cheesecake?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Properly whipped cream is key. If you don\u2019t whip it to stiff peaks, your cream cheese mixture will deflate and never properly set in the refrigerator. Take care to gently fold in the whipped cream to the cream cheese mixture. If you over-mix it, you\u2019ll lose the mousse-like, airy consistency. I got this handy pro tip from The Pioneer Woman dot com.<\/p>\n<h3>On The Menu<\/h3>\n<p>Up next week we have spinach and caramelized onion sliders.\u00a0 The recipe looks FANTASTIC. I cannot wait to try it. Enjoy the first weekend of the 2021 college football season. See you next Friday for another tasty tailgate treat.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"getty embed image\" style=\"background-color: #fff; display: inline-block; font-family: Roboto,sans-serif; color: #a7a7a7; font-size: 11px; width: 100%; max-width: 594px;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; text-align: left;\"><a style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/461022483\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"overflow: hidden; position: relative; height: 0; padding: 65.65657% 0 0 0; width: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: inline-block; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0;\" src=\"\/\/embed.gettyimages.com\/embed\/461022483?et=6LrR2z56S3l_OoKYD3CCrA&amp;tld=com&amp;sig=R64i4HlJNDXRV8USrzPp2aIWa2AvwwmuQFvMrr5TKk8=&amp;caption=true&amp;ver=1\" width=\"594\" height=\"390\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy Football Friday.
