Wanna hear about my go-to quick treat that always wows everyone? These No-Bake Biscoff Cheesecake Cups are total game-changers! I'm crazy about how they stack those caramelly lotus biscuits with smooth cheesecake mixture and that mouth-watering cookie spread on top. And guess what? You'll only grab five things from your pantry and won't need any fancy baking tricks to pull off these show-stoppers.

Easy But Impressive

The magic behind these cups comes from that distinct spiced Biscoff flavor that runs through every bite. When that crispy cookie bottom hits the velvety cheesecake filling and that dreamy cookie butter layer, it's just unreal. They're exactly what you need when you're aiming to look fancy without slaving away in the kitchen forever.

Grab These Items

  • Main Stuff:
    • Spicy-sweet Biscoff biscuits
    • Some butter, melted down
    • Whipping cream, nice and cold
    • Cream cheese at room temp
    • A bit of confectioners' sugar
  • The Highlight:
    • Cookie butter for that wow factor
    • A splash of vanilla to round it out
  • For Decoration:
    • Spare cookies and bits for topping
    • Warmed cookie spread for drizzling

Creating The Dessert

Prep Your Bottom Layer:
Smash cookies into bits, stir with melted butter, then push down into cups, keeping some crumbs aside for later.
Mix Your Middle:
Beat cream until peaks form, then combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, cookie butter and vanilla, gently mixing everything together.
Top Them Off:
Scoop or pipe filling in, pour warm Biscoff on top, then finish with cookie pieces and leftover crumbs.
Chill Them Down:
Let them hang out in the fridge for 4 hours minimum, trust me, waiting makes them taste way better.

Handy Tricks

Make sure your cream is straight from the fridge for perfect whipping, and don't forget to soften that cream cheese completely first. When you're combining everything, be super gentle so you don't lose all the air bubbles. They actually taste even richer next day, so making them ahead is a smart move.

Storage Notes

Wrap them up good and they'll stay yummy in your fridge for about 3-4 days. I always make these beforehand for get-togethers and everyone goes nuts for them. Just remember to keep them chilled until you're ready to serve.

Common Questions

Not sure what Biscoff is? They're those cinnamon-caramel cookies you sometimes get on flights. And nope, you won't need your oven at all, that's why they're so simple! Don't stick them in the freezer, they work best just refrigerated. And you can totally play with sizes, from dinner party portions to tiny appetizer versions.

Recipe FAQs

→ Why is the filling too soft?

Be sure to whisk the cream until it's properly stiff. Let the mixture chill fully, and avoid skipping or shortening the cooling steps.

→ Can I prep these beforehand?

Definitely, make them up to 48 hours ahead. Keep them cold and garnish just before you serve them.

→ What if the cookie crumbs don’t hold together?

Press the mixture down tightly and mix the butter in completely. Add another tablespoon of butter if needed.

→ Are these cups freezer-friendly?

Yes, freeze them without decoration for up to a month. Thaw in the fridge and add toppings right before serving.

→ What if I can’t find Biscoff cookies?

You can swap in graham crackers or gingersnaps, but the signature cookie butter flavor won't be the same.
