Ingredients
For the crust
- 18 pieces Biscoff cookies, crushed into fine crumbs
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted for rich flavor
For the cheesecake filling
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened for a creamy, smooth texture
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar for sweetness
- 1/4 cup sour cream to enhance creaminess
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for warmth and aroma
- 1 large egg to give structure
- 1/2 cup Biscoff spread for signature flavor
For the topping
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream for luscious topping
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar to sweeten the whipped cream
- 2 pieces Biscoff cookies, crushed for garnish
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and prepare a muffin pan by lining 8 cups with paper liners.
- Combine the crushed Biscoff cookies with the melted butter in a mixing bowl until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
- Distribute the crust mixture evenly among the muffin cups, pressing it down firmly to create a compact base.
- Beat together the cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add in the sour cream and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Incorporate the egg, stirring just until the filling is smooth.
- Spoon the cheesecake filling into each muffin cup, evenly distributing the mixture over the crusts.
Baking and Chilling
- Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, or until the centers are just set with a slight jiggle.
- Allow them to cool completely, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 3 hours.
- Warm the Biscoff spread slightly and spoon it over the top of each chilled cheesecake bite.
Topping
- Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
- Pipe or spoon the whipped cream on top of each cheesecake, finishing with the extra crushed Biscoff cookies.
Notes
Use room temperature cream cheese to ensure a lump-free filling. Experiment with flavors by adding citrus zest for a delightful twist. Adjust sweetness based on preference. For gluten-free, substitute Biscoff cookies with gluten-free options.
