Crust
- 1 cup Biscoff or speculoos cookie crumbs
- 3 tbsp melted butter
Cheesecake Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- ½ cup cookie butter (plus extra for drizzling)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Garnish (optional)
- Extra cookies for garnish
- Prepare the Crust: In a small bowl, mix the Biscoff or speculoos cookie crumbs with melted butter until combined. Spoon a layer of this mixture into the bottom of each serving cup to create the crust base.
- Whip the Cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream using a hand mixer or stand mixer until soft peaks form. Set this aside for folding later to ensure a light texture.
- Make the Cheesecake Mixture: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese together with powdered sugar, cookie butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy without lumps.
- Fold in the Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cookie butter cream cheese mixture. Use a spatula to combine carefully to maintain a fluffy mousse-like texture.
- Assemble the Cups: Layer the cheesecake filling over the cookie crumb crust in each cup. Drizzle a small amount of extra melted cookie butter over the layer for added flavor.
- Build Layers: Repeat the layers by adding another layer of cookie crumbs if desired and more cheesecake filling, finishing with a smooth cheesecake layer on top.
- Garnish: Finish each cup with a sprinkle of extra cookie crumbs or a whole cookie for an elegant touch.
- Chill and Serve: Place the cups in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld. Serve chilled for best taste and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute the cookie butter with any creamy cookie spread if Biscoff is unavailable.
- For firmer cups, chill the dessert overnight instead of 1 hour.
- Use full-fat cream cheese and heavy cream for the best creamy texture.
- To make this gluten-free, ensure you use gluten-free cookie crumbs and gluten-free cookie butter.
- These cups can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days when covered.
