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

Step 1: Prepare the Crust
Start by crushing the Biscoff biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or a rolling pin. Melt the unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl, then combine with the cookie crumbs until evenly coated. Spoon this mixture into dessert cups, pressing it down firmly with a small glass or your fingers to create a stable base. Set aside while you prepare the filling.

Step 2: Make the Filling
In a mixing bowl, pour in the heavy cream and whip it with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, which should take about 3-5 minutes. In another large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, Biscoff spread, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, making sure to keep it light and airy for that fluffy texture reminiscent of a perfect No-Bake Biscoff Cheesecake.

Step 3: Layer the Cups
Carefully transfer the fluffy cheesecake filling into a piping bag or a zip-lock bag with a corner snipped off. Pipe the filling into each dessert cup over the set crust, creating a lovely layered effect. Fill the cups nearly to the top, leaving some space for the topping, and smooth the surface with a spatula or the back of a spoon for an elegant finish.

Step 4: Add Topping
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the Biscoff spread for about 15-20 seconds until it’s pourable. Drizzle the melted spread evenly over the tops of the cheesecake filling in each cup for that glossy layer we all love. For a decorative touch, sprinkle the reserved cookie crumbs over the top and add halved Biscoff cookies to each cup, enhancing both the flavor and presentation.

Step 5: Chill
Cover the cheesecake cups with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate them for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This chilling process allows the layers to set properly and ensures a delightful experience when serving. Once set, your No-Bake Biscoff Cheesecake Cups are ready to impress when you unveil them at your next gathering or simply enjoy them as a treat for yourself!
