Ingredients List for the No-Bake Biscoff Cheesecake Cups

Gather these simple, carefully selected ingredients before you begin — quality matters, especially when it comes to the Biscoff spread and cream cheese.

• Lotus Biscoff biscuits (about 30)

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

• 16 oz (2 cups) heavy cream

• 8 oz cream cheese, at room temperature

• ½ cup powdered sugar

• ½ cup Biscoff (cookie butter) spread, plus extra for topping

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• Garnish: halved Biscoff cookies and reserved cookie crumbs

Pro Tips

Bring your cream cheese to room temperature. Cold cream cheese will never beat into a fully smooth filling. Lumps that form at this stage cannot be corrected once the whipped cream is folded in, so plan ahead and pull it from the refrigerator at least 45 minutes early.

Whip your cream to stiff peaks — not a drop less. The structural integrity of your No-Bake Biscoff Cheesecake Cups depends entirely on properly whipped cream. Under-whipped cream produces a filling that will not hold its piped shape and may weep liquid over time. Use a chilled bowl for best results.

Melt the Biscoff topping slowly. When microwaving the cookie butter spread for the topping layer, heat it in 15-second increments and stir between each interval. Overheating causes the oils to separate and the texture to become grainy rather than silky and pourable. A smooth, glossy layer elevates both flavor and presentation dramatically.

Instructions

Step 1: Crush Biscoff biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin. Mix crumb mixture with melted butter, reserving a few tablespoons for decoration.

Step 2: Press about 2–3 tablespoons of the crust mixture into the bottom of each dessert cup or glass. Set aside.

Step 3: Whip heavy cream in a bowl until stiff peaks form.

Step 4: In another bowl, beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, Biscoff spread, and vanilla until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped cream until fully incorporated.

Step 5: Transfer the cheesecake filling into a piping bag and pipe into each prepared cup.

Step 6: Melt about ½ cup of Biscoff spread in the microwave until pourable. Layer melted spread over the cheesecake filling in each cup. Top with halved cookies and sprinkle with reserved crumbs.

Step 7: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) until set. Serve chilled.

Variations

Chocolate Biscoff Cheesecake Cups
Add 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder to the cheesecake filling alongside the powdered sugar. The bittersweet chocolate note creates a beautiful contrast against the sweet caramel spice of the cookie butter, producing a mocha-adjacent flavor profile that chocolate lovers will absolutely adore.

Pumpkin Spice Biscoff Cups
Blend ¼ cup of pumpkin puree and ½ teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice into the cream cheese mixture before folding in the whipped cream. This seasonal twist on Biscoff cheesecake cups leans into the naturally warm, spiced character of the Lotus cookies and makes for an ideal autumn dessert.

Vegan Cookie Butter Cheesecake Cups
Substitute the cream cheese with a full-fat vegan cream cheese alternative and replace the heavy cream with full-fat coconut cream whipped to stiff peaks. Use vegan butter in the crust. The result is a dairy-free version of these individual Biscoff cheesecakes that sacrifices very little in terms of richness or flavor.

Storage and Serving

Storing Your Cups
Once assembled, No-Bake Biscoff Cheesecake Cups should be stored in the refrigerator, covered loosely with plastic wrap or sealed with a lid if your cups have one. They keep well for up to 4 days. For best texture, add the Biscoff topping drizzle and garnishes no more than a few hours before serving to prevent the cookie crumbs from softening too much. These cups are not suitable for freezing once garnished, though the plain filling can be frozen for up to one month.

Serving Suggestions
Serve these cups straight from the refrigerator — chilled is the ideal temperature. For a beautiful presentation, set them on a wooden board surrounded by whole Biscoff cookies. A light dusting of cinnamon or a small drizzle of extra melted cookie butter right before serving adds a polished, restaurant-quality finish that guests will notice immediately.

FAQs

Can I make No-Bake Biscoff Cheesecake Cups ahead of time?
Yes, absolutely. These cups are actually better when made the night before serving. The filling firms up beautifully overnight, and the flavors develop and deepen with time in the refrigerator.

What type of cups or glasses work best?
Clear glasses or small mason jars work best because they showcase the distinct layers of crust, filling, and topping. Aim for 6–8 oz capacity for an ideal individual portion size.

Can I use reduced-fat cream cheese?
It is possible, but not recommended. Full-fat cream cheese provides the richness and structural stability that makes the filling hold its shape after piping. Reduced-fat versions can produce a softer, less stable filling.

Why is my cheesecake filling too soft?
The most common cause is under-whipped cream or cream cheese that was too warm when beaten. Make sure cream reaches stiff peaks and that the mixture is thoroughly chilled for the full 4 hours before serving.

Where can I find Biscoff spread?
Biscoff cookie butter spread is widely available in the peanut butter and nut butter aisle of most major grocery stores. It is also available online through retailers like Amazon and directly through the Lotus brand website.
