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
- Extra cookies for garnish (optional)
- Prepare the crust: In a small bowl, combine the Biscoff cookie crumbs with melted butter until well mixed. Spoon an even layer of this mixture into the bottom of each serving cup to form the crust.
- Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Set this aside for later folding into the cheesecake mixture.
- Make the cheesecake base: Beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, cookie butter, and vanilla extract in a large bowl until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Fold in whipped cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cookie butter and cream cheese mixture to create a light and airy mousse-like texture.
- Assemble first layer: Spoon a layer of the cheesecake filling over the cookie crumb crust in each cup. Drizzle some melted cookie butter over this layer to enhance flavor.
- Repeat layering: Add another layer of cookie crumb crust and then the cheesecake filling again, finishing with a final layer of cheesecake filling on top.
- Garnish: Top each cup with extra cookie crumbs or whole cookies as garnish for an attractive presentation.
- Chill: Refrigerate the assembled cheesecake cups for at least 1 hour to set and chill thoroughly before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for smooth blending.
- You can substitute regular cookie butter with any spiced or speculoos cookie spread available.
- For an extra crunchy texture, add a sprinkle of chopped cookies on top before chilling.
- Keep the dessert refrigerated until ready to serve to maintain its creamy texture.
- These cups can be prepared a day ahead and stored covered in the fridge.
