No-Bake Biscoff Cheesecake Cups Ingredients

For the Crust
Lotus Biscoff biscuits – These provide the crunchy base for the cheesecake cups; consider substituting with graham crackers for a different flavor.
Unsalted butter (2 tablespoons, melted) – Binds cookie crumbs together; you can also use margarine if preferred.
For the Filling
Heavy cream (16 oz or 2 cups) – Adds richness and volume; a non-dairy whipping cream can make it lighter.
Cream cheese (8 oz, at room temperature) – Offers structure and creaminess to the filling; you can use vegan cream cheese as a dairy alternative.
Powdered sugar (½ cup) – Sweetens the mixture; can be replaced with granulated sugar, but it may alter the texture.
Biscoff spread (½ cup plus extra for topping) – Infuses the cheesecake with its iconic flavor, but feel free to swap it with any nut or cookie butter spread.
Vanilla extract (1 teaspoon) – Enhances the flavor depth; pure vanilla is best for rich taste.
For Garnish
Halved Biscoff cookies – A delightful way to top your cups beautifully.
Reserved cookie crumbs – Use these for an added crunchy texture on top.

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for No-Bake Biscoff Cheesecake Cups

Step 1: Prepare the crust
Start by crushing the Lotus Biscoff biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or a rolling pin. In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed biscuits with melted unsalted butter, ensuring it clumps together. Reserve a few tablespoons of the mixture for decoration. Press 2-3 tablespoons of the cookie mixture into the bottom of individual dessert cups, creating a firm base that will hold the cheesecake filling.

Step 2: Make the filling
In a large bowl, whip 16 ounces of heavy cream using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, which should take about 3-5 minutes. In a separate bowl, blend 8 ounces of room-temperature cream cheese, ½ cup of powdered sugar, ½ cup of Biscoff spread, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold the whipped cream into this mixture until fully combined, creating a light and airy filling for your No-Bake Biscoff Cheesecake Cups.

Step 3: Assemble the cups
Using a piping bag or a spoon, fill each prepared dessert cup with the cheesecake mixture, layering over the cookie crust. To add a gorgeous touch, melt some additional Biscoff spread in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds until pourable. Drizzle the melted spread over the top of each filled cup, allowing it to cascade down the sides for a delicious finish.

Step 4: Garnish and chill
Top each cheesecake cup with halved Biscoff cookies and a sprinkle of the reserved cookie crumbs for extra crunch. To let the flavors meld beautifully, cover the cups with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This chilling time will ensure the filling sets up nicely, resulting in delightful No-Bake Biscoff Cheesecake Cups that are ready for serving!

Make Ahead Options

These No-Bake Biscoff Cheesecake Cups are a fantastic choice for meal prep, saving you time during busy weeknights! You can prepare the crust and filling up to 24 hours in advance. Simply crush the Biscoff biscuits and mix with melted butter, then combine the cheesecake filling ingredients and store them separately in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, assemble the cups by layering the crust and filling. To maintain their delicious quality, cover the cups tightly with plastic wrap to prevent any drying out. Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight to let the flavors meld, ensuring your dessert remains just as indulgent and delightful.

Tips for the Best No-Bake Biscoff Cheesecake Cups

Cream Cheese Temperature: Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps, making for a silky-smooth filling in your No-Bake Biscoff Cheesecake Cups.
Whipping Cream Peaks: Whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form; this lightens the filling and keeps it fluffy—a vital step for achieving the perfect texture!
Pack the Crust: Firmly pack the cookie crust into the bottom of the cups. A tightly compressed crust adds stability and prevents the filling from sinking.
Chilling Time Matters: Don’t rush the chill! Allow your cheesecake cups to set for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to enhance flavors and ensure a delightful texture.
Garnish Creatively: Experiment with garnishes! Try adding chocolate shavings, fresh berries, or even a caramel drizzle on top for a beautiful presentation and added flavor.

No-Bake Biscoff Cheesecake Cups Recipe FAQs

How do I choose the right Biscoff biscuits for the crust?
Absolutely! Look for Lotus Biscoff biscuits, which are crunchy and have a unique spiced flavor perfect for the crust. If you’re seeking alternatives, graham crackers or digestive biscuits can also work well, but they will bring different flavors to your cheesecake cups.

What’s the best way to store leftover cheesecake cups?
For optimal freshness, store your No-Bake Biscoff Cheesecake Cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They’ll stay delicious for up to 3 days. Ensure they are fully covered to prevent them from absorbing any other flavors in the fridge!

Can I freeze these cheesecake cups? How do I do it?
Yes, you can freeze them for up to 2 months! To freeze, carefully wrap each cheesecake cup tightly in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe container. When you’re ready to enjoy them, simply transfer the wrapped cups to the refrigerator for several hours or overnight until they are fully thawed.

What if my cream cheese isn’t blending smoothly?
If your cream cheese isn’t blending smoothly, it might be too cold. Make sure it’s at room temperature, which helps it blend seamlessly into the filling. If lumps persist, you can use a hand mixer or a food processor to smooth it out before folding in the whipped cream.

Are these cheesecake cups suitable for those with allergies?
It’s important to be cautious! The standard recipe contains gluten (from the biscuits) and dairy (from the cream cheese and heavy cream). For gluten-free options, use gluten-free biscuits, and if you’re avoiding dairy, swap the cream cheese for vegan cream cheese and the heavy cream for a non-dairy alternative. Always double-check ingredient labels to ensure safety!

Can I prepare these cups in advance?
Very much so! In fact, I often recommend making the No-Bake Biscoff Cheesecake Cups a day in advance. This not only enhances the flavors as they chill, but it also allows you to enjoy your gathering without the last-minute rush. Just make sure they stay refrigerated until serving!
