Step-by-Step Instructions

Here’s how to make No-Bake Biscoff Cheesecake Cups:

Prepare the Crust:

1. Crush the Cookies: In a food processor, crush the Biscoff cookies into fine crumbs. Alternatively, place them in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
2. Mix with Butter: In a bowl, combine the crushed cookie crumbs with the melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
3. Press into Cups: Spoon the mixture into the bottom of 6 individual serving cups or jars. Use the back of a spoon to press down the crumbs firmly to form a crust.

Make the Cheesecake Filling:

4. Beat the Cream Cheese: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
5. Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
6. Fold Together: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined. If using, fold in the Biscoff cookie spread for extra flavor.

Assemble the Cheesecake Cups:

7. Layer the Cheesecake: Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling over the Biscoff crust in each cup, smoothing it out with a spatula.
8. Chill: Cover the cups with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the cheesecake filling has set.

Serve:

9. Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, top each cheesecake cup with extra Biscoff cookie crumbs or a whole cookie for decoration.

How to Serve
