Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 cup Biscoff or speculoos cookie crumbs
- 3 tbsp melted butter
Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- ½ cup cookie butter (plus extra for drizzling)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Garnish (optional)
- Extra cookies or cookie crumbs
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a small bowl, combine the cookie crumbs and melted butter until evenly mixed. Spoon a layer of this mixture into the bottom of each serving cup, pressing down gently to form the crust.
- Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Set aside carefully to maintain the texture.
- Make the cheesecake filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, cookie butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Fold in whipped cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, using a spatula to combine them into a light and airy mousse-like texture without deflating the cream.
- Assemble the cups: Spoon a layer of the cheesecake filling over the crust in each cup. Drizzle some melted cookie butter on top for extra flavor.
- Repeat layering: Add another layer of crust mixture if desired, then finish off with a final layer of cheesecake filling on top.
- Garnish: Decorate the top of each cup with extra cookie crumbs or whole cookies to add crunch and visual appeal.
- Chill and serve: Refrigerate the assembled cups for at least 1 hour to allow the cheesecake to set and flavors to meld before serving.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese for a smoother filling.
- Chill the whipping cream beforehand to help it whip better.
- For easier assembly, prepare the crust first and refrigerate briefly to set before adding the filling.
- Cookie butter can be warmed slightly to drizzle more easily without melting the dessert.
- These cups are best served within 24 hours for freshness.
