Ingredients You’ll Need

The beauty of these Biscoff Cheesecake Cups lies in their simplicity. Each ingredient plays a crucial role in building the texture, flavor, and that irresistible charm that makes this dessert stand out.

• ½ cup Biscoff spread: This serves as the star ingredient, giving the dessert its signature spiced caramel flavor and creamy richness.
• 200g cream cheese: Provides the smooth, tangy base that balances the sweetness and creates that luscious cheesecake texture.
• 4 Biscoff cookies, crushed: Adds a crunchy, buttery layer that offers contrast and enhances the overall Biscoff taste experience.
• 2 tbsp sugar: Sweetens the mixture just enough to perfectly complement the cream cheese and Biscoff spread without overpowering them.

How to Make Biscoff Cheesecake Cups

Step 1: Prepare the Cookie Crust

Start by crushing your Biscoff cookies into small, coarse pieces. You want enough texture to give that delightful crunch, so avoid turning them into powder. Take your crushed cookies and spoon a layer into your serving cups, pressing down gently to form a base that will hold up to the creamy layers.

Step 2: Mix the Cream Cheese Filling

In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese and sugar. Beat or whisk until smooth and creamy – no lumps allowed! Next, fold in the Biscoff spread until everything is beautifully blended and the mixture is silky with that unmistakable caramel warmth.

Step 3: Assemble the Cups

Now for the fun part: layering. Spoon a generous dollop of the cream cheese and Biscoff mixture over the cookie base in each cup. Make sure to spread it evenly and gently press it down to compact the layers slightly. For a little extra texture, you can sprinkle a few more crushed cookies on top or save them to garnish right before serving.

Step 4: Chill and Set

Pop your assembled cups in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. This chilling step is key for allowing the cheesecake filling to firm up and the flavors to meld perfectly. Trust me, the wait will be worth it when you dive into those creamy, crunchy layers.

How to Serve Biscoff Cheesecake Cups

Garnishes

To elevate the presentation and texture, sprinkle extra crushed Biscoff cookies right before serving. You can also add a drizzle of melted Biscoff spread or even a small dollop of whipped cream. A few toasted nuts or a dusting of cinnamon will add a beautiful finishing touch and complement the deep spice notes.

Side Dishes

While these cups shine as standalone desserts, pairing them with a hot cup of coffee or a spiced chai tea takes the experience to another level. The warmth and slight bitterness of these drinks perfectly balance the sweetness and richness of the cheesecake cups.

Creative Ways to Present

These mini cheesecake cups are versatile in presentation. Serve them in clear glass jars or small mason jars for a rustic look, or use elegant mini dessert glasses to impress your guests. You could even layer them in a trifle dish for a shareable dessert option that still shows off those lovely layers beautifully.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

Leftover Biscoff Cheesecake Cups will keep beautifully in the fridge for up to 3 days when covered tightly. Keeping them chilled ensures they stay creamy and fresh without drying out. Just make sure to use an airtight container or cover each cup with plastic wrap to preserve their texture.

Freezing

While the creamy texture might change slightly upon freezing, you can freeze the Biscoff Cheesecake Cups for up to one month. Place them in freezer-safe containers, and thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving. The cheesecake cups will still taste delicious, though the texture might be a bit softer than fresh.

Reheating

Generally, these cups are best enjoyed chilled, so reheating is not recommended. If you prefer, let frozen cups thaw in the fridge and serve as is. The cool, creamy texture is what makes Biscoff Cheesecake Cups so delightful, so enjoy them straight from the fridge for the ultimate indulgence.

FAQs

Can I use regular peanut butter instead of Biscoff spread?

What if I don’t have Biscoff cookies for crushing?

If you can’t find Biscoff cookies, graham crackers or digestive biscuits are good alternatives. Just keep in mind the flavor won’t be quite the same, but the texture and crunch will still be fantastic.
