Preparation
- Begin by crushing the Biscoff cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.
- In a small bowl, combine the crushed cookies with 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
- Spoon a layer of the cookie crumb mixture into the bottom of each individual cup or dessert jar, pressing down lightly to form a firm crust.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the cream cheese; beat until well incorporated.
Filling
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and well combined.
- Add the Biscoff spread and brown sugar, mixing gently until fully combined.
Assembly
- Layer the cheesecake filling on top of the Biscoff cookie crust in each cup, smoothing the top layer.
- Refrigerate the cheesecake cups for at least 2-3 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
- Before serving, garnish with crushed Biscoff cookies on top.
Notes
Try drizzling extra Biscoff spread on top, adding chopped nuts, or drizzling chocolate for extra flavor. You can prepare the cookie crust in advance and chill while making the filling.
