Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- About 30 Lotus Biscoff biscuits
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Cheesecake Filling
- 16 oz (2 cups) heavy cream
- 8 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ½ cup Biscoff (cookie butter) spread, plus extra for topping
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Garnish
- Halved Biscoff cookies
- Reserved cookie crumbs
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Crush the Lotus Biscoff biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a bag and rolling with a rolling pin. Mix the crushed biscuits with the melted unsalted butter until combined, reserving a few tablespoons of the crumbs for decoration later.
- Form the crust base: Press about 2 to 3 tablespoons of the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of each dessert cup or glass to create an even layer. Set aside these prepared cups while you make the filling.
- Whip the cream: In a clean bowl, whip the heavy cream using a mixer until stiff peaks form, ensuring a fluffy texture essential for the cheesecake consistency.
- Make the cheesecake mixture: In a separate bowl, beat the room temperature cream cheese, powdered sugar, Biscoff spread, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy without lumps.
- Combine filling: Gently fold the whipped heavy cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated to maintain the lightness of the filling.
- Assemble cheesecake cups: Transfer the cheesecake filling into a piping bag for neat filling and pipe the mixture into each cup over the crust layer, filling them evenly.
- Add topping layer: Microwave about ½ cup of Biscoff spread until pourable. Pour or drizzle this melted Biscoff spread over the cheesecake filling in each cup to create a luscious top layer.
- Garnish and chill: Top each cup with halved Biscoff cookies and sprinkle the reserved cookie crumbs on top for texture and decoration. Refrigerate the assembled cheesecake cups for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow them to set properly.
- Serve: Remove from the refrigerator and serve chilled for the best texture and flavor experience.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps in the filling.
- For easier crust pressing, slightly wet your fingers or the bottom of a spoon before pressing the crumbs.
- If you prefer, you can substitute the heavy cream with whipping cream.
- This dessert can be made a day ahead to save time and allow flavors to meld.
- Use mini cups for bite-sized portions perfect for parties.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
