Prep & Cook Time

Prep Time: 25 minutes

Cook Time: 30 minutes (chilling)

Total Time: 55 minutes

Servings: 12 mini cheesecakes

Ingredients

22 Biscoff cookies
1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
12 ounces full fat cream cheese (room temperature)
1 cup Biscoff spread
1 teaspoon vanilla powder (use half this amount if you prefer less rich vanilla flavor)
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream:
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
3/4 cup Biscoff spread
4 Biscoff cookies (crushed)
6 Biscoff cookies (broken in half)

Instructions

Prepare the crusts: Finely crush 16 Biscoff cookies into crumbs using a food processor or a zip-top bag and a rolling pin. Mix the crumbs with the melted butter until well combined. Divide the mixture evenly among 12 cupcake liners in a muffin pan and press firmly into an even layer. Place in the freezer to set.
Make the cheesecake filling: In a large bowl, beat the room temperature cream cheese until smooth. Add 1 cup of Biscoff spread and vanilla powder (use half this amount if you prefer less rich vanilla flavor), and beat again until fully combined and creamy.
In a separate, clean bowl, whip 1 1/2 cups of heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in two additions until no white streaks remain.
Assemble the cheesecakes: Remove the crusts from the freezer. Divide the cheesecake filling evenly among the 12 crusts, smoothing the tops with a spoon or offset spatula. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Prepare the topping: Whip the remaining 1 cup of heavy whipping cream with the powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, gently warm the 3/4 cup of Biscoff spread for 15-20 seconds to make it slightly runny (not hot).
Finish the cheesecakes: After chilling, top each cheesecake with a dollop of the sweetened whipped cream. Drizzle each with the warmed Biscoff spread. Garnish with the crushed Biscoff cookies and place a broken cookie half on top of each. Chill for at least 2-3 hours, or until fully set, before serving.

Variations

Parfait Style: Skip the crust and layer the cheesecake filling with extra cookie crumbs in a glass for a deconstructed version.
Single Serve Tarts: Press the crust into individual small tart pans instead of a muffin tin for a more elegant presentation.
Frozen Treat: Freeze the assembled cheesecakes for a firmer, ice cream-like dessert.
Chocolate Drizzle: Replace the Biscoff topping drizzle with a simple melted chocolate or salted caramel sauce.

Tips for Success

Ensure your cream cheese is at true room temperature to avoid a lumpy filling.
Use a piping bag to pipe the whipped cream topping for a neater, more professional look.
When folding the whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture, use a gentle hand to keep the filling light and airy.
For clean servings, run a warm knife around the edge of each cheesecake before lifting it out of the liner.

Storage & Reheating

FAQ

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble them fully 1-2 days in advance. Keep them covered in the refrigerator.

Can I use low-fat cream cheese?

For the best texture and stability, full-fat cream cheese is highly recommended. Low-fat varieties can make the filling too soft.

My Biscoff spread is too thick to drizzle. What should I do?

Gently warm it in the microwave in 5-second intervals, stirring between each, until it reaches a pourable consistency. Be careful not to overheat.

Do I have to use cupcake liners?

Liners make removal and cleanup much easier. If you don’t have liners, you can grease the muffin tin well and use a knife to loosen the edges.

Can I freeze these mini cheesecakes?

Absolutely. Freeze them on a tray until solid, then transfer to an airtight container. Thaw in the refrigerator for several hours before serving.

What can I use instead of powdered sugar in the whipped cream?

You can omit it for a less sweet topping, or use a teaspoon of vanilla powder (use half this amount if you prefer less rich vanilla flavor) for flavor without extra sweetness.
