R2 D2 Star Wars Mini Cheesecakes

I’m addicted to my new mini cheesecake pan. It is fun to use and produces perfect mini cheesecakes. They are 2 to 3 bites in size.
I put it to a good use  again and made these Star Wars inspired cheesecakes. Instead of traditional crust I used  half of oreo cookie. So simple and effective. 
Someone asked my on you tube : ” how does lemon and chocolate go together?” I personally love this interesting flavor combination but if you prefer something more subtle, option for vanilla or lemon oreo cookies.
