Ingredient list

36 OREO Cookies, divided
3 pkg. (8 oz. each) Neufchatel cheese, softened
¾ cup sugar
¾ cup light sour cream
1 tsp. vanilla
3 eggs
2 oz. (1/2 of 4-oz. pkg.) semi-sweet baking chocolate, melted
½ oz. (1/8 of 4-oz. pkg.) white baking chocolate, melted
1½ cups thawed frozen lite whipped topping
2 Tbsp. football-themed sprinkles

Directions

Heat oven to 325°F.

Place 1 cookie in each of 24 paper-lined muffin pan cups. Cut remaining cookies in half; set aside.

Beat Neufchatel and sugar in large bowl with mixer until blended. Add sour cream and vanilla; mix well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing on low speed after each just until blended.

Spoon over cookies in prepared baking cups.

Bake 15 to 18 min. or just until centers are set. Cool completely.

Refrigerate cheesecakes 3 hours or until chilled. Meanwhile, decorate reserved cookie halves with melted chocolates to resemble footballs as shown in photo. Let stand until chocolates are firm.

Top cheesecakes with whipped topping, sprinkles and decorated cookie halves just before serving.

Recipe Tips

VariationOmit white chocolate. Remove and discard paper liners from chilled cheesecakes; place cheesecakes, cookie sides up, on serving plate. Coat one end of each halved cookie in melted semi-sweet chocolate; top with football-themed sprinkles instead of decorating the cookies to resemble as directed in recipe. Top cheesecakes with whipped topping and decorated cookies. Then, add football-themed party pick to each cheesecake if desired.
VariationOmit 12 OREO Cookies. Place remaining 24 cookies in paper-lined muffin pan cups; cover with cheesecake batter. Bake cheesecakes as directed. Decorate 24 Mini OREO Cookies with melted semi-sweet and white chocolates as directed. Use to decorate cheesecakes along with the whipped topping and sprinkles just before serving.
