how to make Mini Biscoff Cheesecakes
Ingredients
- 1 cup Biscoff Cookie Crumbs (substitute with digestive biscuits if needed)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar (brown sugar can be used for deeper flavor)
- 5 tablespoons Salted Butter (unsalted butter works too, just add a pinch of salt)
- 16 oz Cream Cheese (can substitute with mascarpone cheese)
- 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar (no alternative needed)
- 1/2 cup Biscoff Spread (Cookie Butter) (can be substituted with other nut butters)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (vanilla bean paste can be used for more intensity)
- 1 cup Heavy Cream (coconut cream can be a dairy-free option)
- 1 cup Heavy Cream (for whipped topping)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered Sugar (to adjust sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 cup Additional Biscoff Spread (for drizzling)
- 6 cookies Biscoff Cookies (halved for garnishing)
Directions
- Prepare the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the Biscoff cookie crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of each mini cheesecake cup or muffin tin.
- Make the filling: In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar, Biscoff spread, and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is blended well.
- Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until no streaks remain.
- Assemble the cheesecakes: Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the crusts in each cup. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
- Chill: Cover the mini cheesecakes with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to let them set.
- Prepare the topping: Before serving, whip the remaining 1 cup of heavy cream with 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Serve: Top each mini cheesecake with whipped cream, a drizzle of Biscoff spread, and half of a Biscoff cookie for garnish.
