For the Filling
Heavy Cream (16 oz) – Essential for achieving that light and airy cheesecake texture. No substitutions; important for texture.
Cream Cheese (8 oz) – Adds richness and stability to the filling. Must be at room temperature for easy mixing.
Powdered Sugar (1/2 cup) – Provides the necessary sweetness to balance the flavors. Alternate: Granulated sugar may be used, but texture may differ slightly.
Biscoff Spread (1/2 cup) – Elevates the cookie butter flavor in the filling. Can use any cookie butter as an alternative; adjust to taste.
Vanilla Extract (1 tsp) – Introduces warmth and depth of flavor, making the cheesecake even more delicious. Only pure vanilla is recommended for best taste.

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Biscoff Cheesecake Cups

Step 1: Prepare the Crust
Start by crushing the Lotus Biscoff biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or a rolling pin, achieving a sandy texture. In a mixing bowl, combine the crumbs with melted unsalted butter until evenly moistened. Reserve a small portion of the crumb mixture for garnish later. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottoms of dessert cups, ensuring they hold together well.

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, which should take about 3–5 minutes. In another bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, Biscoff spread, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined, creating a luscious filling for your Biscoff Cheesecake Cups.

Step 3: Assemble the Cups
Using a piping bag or a spoon, transfer the creamy cheesecake filling into the prepared cups, layering it on top of the cookie crust. Melt the remaining Biscoff spread in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds until smooth and warm. Drizzle this melted Biscoff spread over the filled cups, allowing it to beautifully cascade down the sides.

Step 4: Chill
Cover the assembled Biscoff Cheesecake Cups with plastic wrap and refrigerate them for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is set and firm. This chilling process allows the flavors to meld and the textures to solidify, ensuring a delightful bite when ready to serve.

Make Ahead Options

These No-Bake Biscoff Cheesecake Cups are a fantastic option for meal prep and can be made up to 2 days in advance! You can prepare the Biscoff cookie crust and the cheesecake filling ahead of time; simply layer them in the cups when you’re ready to serve. For the crust, mix the crushed Biscoff biscuits with melted butter and press into the cups, then store in the refrigerator. Keep the filling in an airtight container until the day of serving to maintain its creamy consistency. When it’s time to enjoy, simply fill the cups with the cheesecake mixture, drizzle with melted Biscoff spread, and garnish with cookie halves. This saves you precious time during busy weeknights while ensuring your dessert is just as delightful!

Expert Tips for Biscoff Cheesecake Cups

Room Temperature Cream Cheese: Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature to prevent lumps in your filling, creating a smooth and creamy texture.
No Freezing, Please: Avoid freezing the cups, as this will lead to a grainy texture when thawed, ruining the luxurious mouthfeel of your Biscoff Cheesecake Cups.
Use the Right Cups: For mini servings, consider using shot glasses or small dessert cups. This will yield 20-24 servings, making them perfect for gatherings.
Chill Time Matters: Allow the cheesecake cups to chill for at least 4 hours. This step helps the flavors develop and ensures a firm, delightful experience.
Garnish Wisely: Don’t skip the reserved crumbs and cookie halves for garnish, as they enhance both the presentation and add a satisfying crunch to each bite!

Biscoff Cheesecake Cups Recipe FAQs

What kind of Biscoff biscuits should I use?
Absolutely! Use Lotus Biscoff biscuits for the best flavor and crunch. If you can’t find them, similar caramel-flavored cookies will work just as well. Just ensure they have a good balance of sweetness and spice.

How should I store the cheesecake cups?
You can store the No-Bake Biscoff Cheesecake Cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Ensuring they are well covered not only keeps them fresh but also prevents them from absorbing any odors from other foods.

Can I freeze Biscoff Cheesecake Cups?
While it’s not recommended to freeze the assembled cheesecake cups due to potential texture changes, you can freeze the crust and filling separately for up to 1 month. To do this, prepare the crust and filling as usual, then place them in airtight containers. When ready to enjoy, simply thaw in the fridge overnight and assemble the cups fresh before serving.

What should I do if my filling is too runny?
Very! If your cheesecake filling is too runny, it may be due to the heavy cream not being whipped to stiff peaks, or the cream cheese not being at room temperature. To fix this, return to step 2: whip the heavy cream longer until it reaches stiff peaks. If your cream cheese was too cold, gently re-mix the filling until it smooths out and thickens, then carefully fold in the whipped cream again.

Are Biscoff Cheesecake Cups safe for those with allergies?
It’s important to note that these cheesecake cups contain dairy (heavy cream, cream cheese) and may not be suitable for individuals with lactose intolerance or dairy allergies. Additionally, check that the Biscoff cookies and spread you use are free from any allergens specific to your needs, such as gluten, if necessary. Always consult packaging for allergen information.
