Ingredients You’ll Need
Makes 12 mini cheesecakes
For the Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups crushed Biscoff cookies (about 20 cookies)
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter , melted
For the Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese , softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup Biscoff cookie butter (optional, but highly recommended!)
Optional Toppings:
- Whipped cream
- Extra Biscoff cookie crumbs
- Drizzled melted chocolate or caramel sauce
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
- In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Biscoff cookies and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Divide the mixture evenly among 12 muffin liners or silicone molds. Press firmly into the bottom to form an even crust.
- Place the crusts in the fridge while you prepare the filling.
Step 2: Make the Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and Biscoff cookie butter (if using) until the filling is smooth and uniform.
Step 3: Assemble the Cheesecakes
- Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling over the chilled crusts, filling each liner about 3/4 full. Smooth the tops with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
- Chill the cheesecakes in the fridge for at least 4 hours , or until set. For faster setting, freeze for 1–2 hours.
Step 4: Add Toppings and Serve
- Once set, top each cheesecake with whipped cream, extra cookie crumbs, or a drizzle of melted chocolate or caramel sauce.
- Carefully remove the cheesecakes from the liners or molds and serve chilled.
Why This Recipe Works
- Cookie Butter Magic : The Biscoff cookie butter adds an extra layer of spiced caramel flavor that ties everything together.
- No-Bake Simplicity : The filling sets beautifully in the fridge without needing any gelatin or baking.
- Velvety Texture : The combination of cream cheese and whipped cream creates a light, airy consistency.
Variations to Try
- Chocolate Twist : Add cocoa powder to the filling for a chocolate-Biscoff combo.
- Layered Look : Swirl Biscoff cookie butter into the filling before chilling for a marbled effect.
- Fruit Pairing : Top with fresh berries or a berry compote for a tangy contrast.
- Gluten-Free Option : Use gluten-free Biscoff-style cookies for the crust.
- Vegan Version : Substitute vegan cream cheese, whipped cream, and coconut oil for the butter.
Tips for Success
- Crush the Cookies Fine : A food processor works best, but you can also place the cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
- Chill Properly : Ensure the cheesecakes are fully set before removing them from the liners to prevent crumbling.
- Storage : Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
Serving Suggestions
- Romantic Touch : Garnish with edible flowers or a dusting of cinnamon for elegance.
- Brunch Staple : Pair with coffee, tea, or fresh fruit for a complete meal.
- Party Platter : Arrange alongside other desserts like brownies, tarts, or fruit skewers for variety.
