Ingredients You’ll Need
Creating these cheesecake cups doesn’t require anything fancy. Most ingredients are pantry staples or easily found at your local grocery store:
For the crust:
- 30 Biscoff cookies, crushed into fine crumbs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the cheesecake filling:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ½ cup Biscoff spread (cookie butter)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the topping:
- ½ cup Biscoff spread, melted
- 8 Biscoff cookies, halved for garnish
Optional: extra cookie crumbs for decoration
How to Make No-Bake Biscoff Cheesecake Cups
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
Crush the cookies into fine crumbs and combine them with melted butter. Press about 2–3 tablespoons of this mixture into the bottom of each dessert cup to form a sturdy base.
Step 2: Whip the Cream
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. This will make your cheesecake filling light and airy.
Step 3: Make the Filling
In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and Biscoff spread until smooth. Then gently fold in the whipped cream. Be careful not to deflate it—the filling should remain fluffy.
Step 4: Assemble the Cups
Spoon or pipe the cheesecake mixture over the cookie crust in each cup. Smooth the tops with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Step 5: Add the Topping
Warm the Biscoff spread slightly until it’s pourable, then drizzle over the cheesecake filling. Garnish with halved cookies or sprinkle extra cookie crumbs on top for a professional look.
Step 6: Chill
Refrigerate the cups for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results. This allows the filling to set properly and the flavors to blend beautifully.
Tips for the Best Cheesecake Cups
- Cold Cream Whips Best: Make sure your heavy cream is chilled before whipping.
- Soften Cream Cheese: Room temperature cream cheese mixes smoothly and prevents lumps.
- Don’t Rush the Chill: The cheesecake cups need sufficient refrigeration to set properly.
- Decorate Thoughtfully: Cookie halves, extra crumbs, or a light drizzle of Biscoff spread make them look bakery-ready.
