How to Make These Biscoff Cheesecake Dessert Cups
This is a no-bake, chill-and-serve style recipe that requires only simple layering. You’ll love how easy and mess-free it is!
Step 1: Make the Cookie Base
Crush about ½ cup of Biscoff cookies and mix with 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Spoon into the bottom of your cups and press firmly using the back of a spoon to form a crust layer.
Step 2: Prepare the Cheesecake Layer
Beat 8 oz softened cream cheese with ¼ cup Biscoff spread, ¼ cup powdered sugar, and ½ tsp vanilla extract until fluffy and smooth. Use a hand mixer or whisk.
Step 3: Assemble the Dessert Cups
Spoon or pipe the cheesecake mixture on top of the crust in each cup. Smooth the top.
Step 4: Add Toppings
Top with a generous spoonful of whipped cream and sprinkle crushed Biscoff cookie crumbs over it for added crunch and visual appeal.
Step 5: Chill and Serve
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour so the layers set properly. Serve chilled for the best texture.
Serving & Decoration Tips
- Drizzle extra melted Biscoff spread on top before serving.
- Add a whole Biscoff cookie vertically into each cup as a garnish.
- Serve with a small dessert spoon for easy scooping.
Variations to Try
- Chocolate Biscoff Cups: Add 1 tbsp melted chocolate to the cheesecake filling and top with chocolate shavings.
- Biscoff Banana Cheesecake: Add a layer of banana slices between the crust and filling for a caramel-banana twist.
- Layered Biscoff Trifle Cups: Add alternating layers of crushed cookies, cheesecake filling, and whipped cream in tall glasses.
- Biscoff Mocha Cups: Mix 1 tsp of instant coffee into the filling for a coffee-flavored version with a bold finish.
- Frozen Biscoff Cheesecake Cups: Freeze instead of chilling for a firmer, ice-cream-like version—especially great for hot days!
These variations offer something different each time while keeping the Biscoff flavor at the center.
Storing Tips
- Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Avoid freezing if topped with whipped cream; freeze the cheesecake layer only if needed.
- Store in jars or sealed dessert containers to keep them fresh and prevent moisture loss.
Extra Tips
- Bring cream cheese to room temperature for easier mixing.
- For a firmer crust, chill the base layer for 10–15 minutes before adding filling.
- Use a piping bag for a neat, professional look when layering.
Common Mistakes and Fixes
| Mistake | Problem Caused | Quick Fix or Prevention |
|---|---|---|
| Skipping chill time | Soft or runny dessert | Always chill for at least 1 hour |
| Cold cream cheese | Filling becomes lumpy | Use room temperature cream cheese |
| Too much cookie butter | Overpowering taste and greasy texture | Stick to balanced ratio (¼ cup max) |
| Overmixing the filling | Filling may become loose | Mix just until smooth and fluffy |
