    Cookies & Cream Mini Cheesecakes are adorably sweet treats. This super simple recipe uses one side of your cookie as the crust, and the other side as a topping. And because they're so small, they bake up in no time. Let's get into it.

    Cookies & Cream Mini Cheesecakes | How to Be Awesome on $20 a Day

    The days all run together in my two bedroom flat in Glasgow where hopefully in a few days you'll be able to meet up with someone outside your household, but only outside and at a two metre distance. Not that I really have anyone I can meet up with since we don't have a car, and you're still not supposed to be using public transport.

    I'm not desperate to get out, but I do wonder if I'm still real. Can other people see me? Do I actually exist?

    What are things like where you live? Are you allowed out? It seems like a lot of places in the states you can pretty much go wherever you want. I get a little panicky when I see people going into someone else's house. When will that wear off?

    To cheer us up, I've made the most adorable sweet treat, Cookies & Cream Mini Cheesecakes. I used Oreos here, but just in case you can't get them or want to make this a little cheaper, any cream-filled chocolate cookie will work. These are quite sweet, but luckily, they're also quite small. Just a few bites is enough to get your fix and put a smile on your face.

    How to make Cookies & Cream Mini Cheesecakes

    These are so simple. Put some cute cupcake papers in your muffin pan. Split your cookies in half and put the cream side in the bottom of each paper. This is your crust. If the cream doesn't stay all on one side, no big deal. Just use whichever side has the most cream as the crust. Put the other side of each cookie in a bag, and give it a bash to break up the cookies into rubble.

    Then all we have to do is mix together some softened cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and room temperature eggs until smooth. Divide that evenly amongst your cups, sprinkle on your bashed up cookies, then bake for about 20 minutes. Let them cool on the counter, then put them in the fridge for at least four hours. I think it's always best to make cheesecake the day before you actually want to eat it.

    I halved this recipe because it's just the two of us in the house, and it worked great. Adjust as needed if you only have a few people around or if eggs are scarce where you live.

    I often wonder what the history books will say about 2020. Will we be heroes for staying in our houses? Will this be the catalyst for the reforms we've so desperately needed? I don't know.

    At least they can say we ate as well as we could. Make yourself some Cookies & Cream Mini Cheesecakes and just laugh for a while if you can. It's a strange time to be alive, but I'm grateful for every minute of it. Stay awesome, friends.C
