Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Biscoff or Speculoos cookie crumbs (about 15 cookies, finely crushed)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup cookie butter (smooth recommended)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
- Optional toppings: whipped cream, extra cookie crumbs, melted cookie butter drizzle
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Mix cookie crumbs with melted butter until fully combined. Divide evenly among dessert cups and gently press into the bottom.
- Make cheesecake filling: Beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add cookie butter and vanilla extract, then continue mixing until creamy.
- Whip the cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Fold together: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture to create a light, fluffy filling.
- Assemble: Pipe or spoon filling over crust layers in each cup. Smooth or leave swirled on top.
- Chill: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
- Garnish & serve: Add whipped cream, cookie crumbs, or a drizzle of warm cookie butter before serving.
Notes
- Flavor variations: Swap cookie butter for Nutella, add lemon zest with raspberry compote, or use pumpkin puree for fall flavors.
- Texture tips: Use full-fat cream cheese and avoid overmixing after adding whipped cream.
- Make ahead: Assemble 1 day in advance and garnish right before serving.
- Storage: Refrigerate up to 4 days; freeze without toppings for up to 1 month.
- Serving ideas: Use clear cups for layers, mini jars for parties, or themed wrappers for events.
