No-Bake Biscoff Cheesecake Cups Ingredients

For the Crust

Lotus Biscoff biscuits – The base for a crunchy crust; you can substitute with any spiced caramelized or graham cracker for a different flavor.
Unsalted butter (2 tablespoons, melted) – Binds the cookie crumbs together for structure; make sure it’s melted for easy mixing.

For the Filling

Heavy cream (16 oz / 2 cups) – Creates a light, airy texture in the filling; consider using whipped topping for a lighter version.
Cream cheese (8 oz, at room temperature) – Essential for a creamy cheesecake filling; ensure it’s softened to avoid lumps.
Powdered sugar (½ cup) – Sweetens the filling; you can replace it with granulated sugar, though the texture may be less smooth.
Biscoff spread (½ cup + extra for topping) – Imparts the signature flavor and adds a glossy finish; try other nut butters for a unique twist.
Vanilla extract (1 teaspoon) – Enhances overall flavor; optional but highly recommended.

For Garnish

Halved Biscoff cookies and reserved cookie crumbs – Perfect for decoration and adds that touch of elegance to your no-bake Biscoff cheesecake cups.

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

Step 1: Prepare the crust
Start by crushing the Lotus Biscoff biscuits into fine crumbs, either in a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and rolling with a rolling pin. In a bowl, mix the crushed cookies with melted unsalted butter until well combined. Once mixed, take the mixture and firmly press it into the bottom of each serving cup using the back of a spoon or a glass to create a sturdy crust.

Step 2: Whip the cream
In a large mixing bowl, pour in the heavy cream and use an electric mixer to whip on medium-high speed for about 3–4 minutes, or until stiff peaks form. The whipped cream should be light and fluffy, almost doubling in volume. Make sure to keep an eye on it, as over-whipping can turn it grainy.

Step 3: Mix the filling
In another bowl, beat the room-temperature cream cheese, powdered sugar, Biscoff spread, and vanilla extract together using an electric mixer on medium speed for 2–3 minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Ensure there are no lumps, which is key for a silky filling. Gently fold in the whipped cream using a spatula until everything is well blended and airy, creating the creamy filling for your No-Bake Biscoff Cheesecake Cups.

Step 4: Pipe the filling
Transfer the cheesecake mixture into a piping bag for neat distribution. Pipe the creamy filling evenly into each cup over the prepared cookie crust, filling them about three-quarters full. Take your time to create a nice, even layer, and smooth the top with a spatula if needed. This step will enhance the presentation of your no-bake Biscoff cheesecake cups.

Step 5: Top with Biscoff spread
Melt the extra Biscoff spread in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds until it’s pourable. Carefully drizzle or spoon the melted Biscoff spread over the cheesecake filling in each cup, creating a luscious top layer. To add a touch of elegance, garnish with halved Biscoff cookies and a sprinkle of the reserved cookie crumbs, which adds visual appeal to your no-bake dessert.

Step 6: Chill
Cover the filled cups with plastic wrap and refrigerate them for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the layers to set properly. This chilling time ensures that your no-bake Biscoff cheesecake cups achieve the right texture—firm yet creamy, perfect for serving chilled at your next gathering. Remember, the longer they chill, the better the flavors meld together!

How to Store and Freeze No-Bake Biscoff Cheesecake Cups

Fridge: Store uncovered in the fridge for up to 3 days. This will keep the creaminess intact while maintaining their delightful flavors.

Freezer: For longer storage, freeze them for up to 2 months. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and then foil to prevent freezer burn.

Thawing: To enjoy frozen cheesecake cups, transfer them to the fridge overnight to thaw gradually. Avoid microwaving, as this could alter their texture.

Serving: Serve chilled once thawed. If preferred, drizzle with extra Biscoff spread just before serving to freshen their appearance and flavor.

No-Bake Biscoff Cheesecake Cups Recipe FAQs

What is the best way to store these cheesecake cups?
