Ingredients
- 12 Lotus Biscoff cookies (about 90g), plus extra for garnish
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup (40g) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
- 1/3 cup (85g) Biscoff cookie spread
- A pinch of salt
Directions
1. Prepare the Biscoff Cookie Base
- Crush 12 Biscoff cookies in a food processor or place them in a zip-top bag and bash with a rolling pin until fine crumbs form.
- Combine cookie crumbs with melted butter and mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the mixture into each of 6 small serving cups or jars (about 4-5 oz each) and gently press down to form the crust. Set aside.
2. Make the Creamy Cheesecake Filling
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy (about 1-2 minutes).
- Add the Biscoff cookie spread and a pinch of salt, then beat until fully combined.
3. Whip the Cream
- In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form (about 2-3 minutes).
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture until smooth and evenly incorporated.
4. Assemble the Cups
- Spoon or pipe the Biscoff cheesecake filling over the prepared crusts, dividing evenly among the cups.
- Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or until set.
- Just before serving, garnish with extra crushed Biscoff cookies and, if desired, a drizzle of melted Biscoff spread.
Notes
- For a firmer texture, chill the cups for up to 4 hours or overnight.
- Use room temperature cream cheese for the smoothest, lump-free filling.
- Lightly spray cups with nonstick spray if you want the dessert to easily slide out for plating.
Variations
- Chocolate Swirl: Swirl in some melted chocolate to the cheesecake mixture before assembling.
- Berry Bliss: Add a fresh raspberry or blueberry layer between the crust and cheesecake layer.
- Dairy-Free: Substitute dairy-free cream cheese, whipped coconut cream, and vegan butter for an allergy-friendly version.
