Ingredients
Base
- 10 Biscoff cookies
Filling
- 8 oz full-fat cream cheese (room temperature)
- ½ cup Biscoff spread
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup heavy cream (chilled)
Topping and Garnish (optional)
- ¾ cup heavy cream (chilled)
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp Biscoff spread
- 4 Biscoff cookies (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: Crush the Biscoff cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by sealing them in a zip-top bag and rolling with a rolling pin.
- Divide the Crumbs: Evenly distribute the cookie crumbs into 4 glasses (about 1 cup or 250 ml each), using roughly 3 tablespoons per glass. Lightly shake the glasses to level the crumbs for an even base layer.
- Make the Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until fluffy. Add the Biscoff spread, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract and mix until smooth and lump-free, resulting in a thick, glossy mixture.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip ⅓ cup chilled heavy cream to medium-stiff peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the Biscoff-cream cheese mixture until fully combined and airy.
- Assemble Cheesecake Cups: Spoon or pipe the filling over the crumb base, filling each glass about three-quarters full. Shake the glasses gently to level the filling.
- Chill: Cover the glasses with cling film and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing the cheesecake to set properly.
- Prepare the Topping (Optional): Beat ¾ cup chilled heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until medium-stiff peaks form. Pipe the whipped cream over the chilled cheesecake cups.
- Warm Biscoff Spread: Microwave the Biscoff spread for 5–10 seconds until just pourable but still thick and glossy.
- Garnish: Drizzle the warmed Biscoff spread over the whipped cream topping. Crush 2 cookies and sprinkle over for texture, then place half a cookie on top of each glass.
- Serve: Serve the cheesecake cups chilled and enjoy their creamy, crunchy, and sweet flavors.
