Ingredients
Crust
- 1 (8.8 oz, 250g) package Biscoff cookies
- 1/2 cup unsalted melted butter
Filling
- 1 cup cold heavy cream
- 3 (8 oz) blocks full-fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup creamy Biscoff cookie butter
- 1/3 cup sour cream, room temperature
- 2 tsp vanilla bean paste
- Pinch of salt
Topping
- 1/2 cup creamy Biscoff cookie butter
- Additional Biscoff cookies for garnish (whole or crushed)
- Whipped cream
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Blitz the Biscoff cookies in a food processor until finely ground. Slowly stream in the melted butter until the mixture is sandy but holds together when pressed.
- Form the crusts: Spray two mini cheesecake pans or two 12-count muffin pans lined with cupcake liners with non-stick spray. Press approximately one tablespoon of the crumb mixture into each compartment. Freeze or refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
- Whip the cream: In a chilled mixing bowl, beat the cold heavy cream using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes. Be careful not to overbeat. Refrigerate while preparing the cheesecake mixture.
- Make the cheesecake filling: In a separate large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, Biscoff cookie butter, sour cream, vanilla bean paste, and a pinch of salt until smooth and fully combined.
- Fold in whipped cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a rubber spatula until no white streaks remain and the mixture is uniform.
- Assemble cheesecakes: Spoon the filling into a piping bag fitted with a round 1A tip and pipe the filling onto the chilled crusts, smoothing the tops evenly.
- Chill: Refrigerate the mini cheesecakes for at least 6 hours or overnight. You may cover them loosely while chilling.
- Apply topping: Melt the 1/2 cup Biscoff spread in the microwave for 20-30 seconds until soft and spreadable. Spread over the tops of the cheesecakes allowing it to drip down the sides. Return to the fridge for 15-20 minutes until set.
- Garnish and serve: Decorate with additional Biscoff cookies (whole or crushed) and whipped cream. Serve and enjoy your no-bake mini Biscoff cheesecakes!
Notes
- For best results, ensure cream cheese is fully softened to room temperature before mixing for a smooth filling.
- If you don’t have vanilla bean paste, pure vanilla extract can be used as a substitute.
- Make sure not to overbeat the heavy cream to prevent it from curdling.
- If mini cheesecake pans aren’t available, standard muffin pans with liners work well.
- These cheesecakes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
