- 1/2 cup melted butter, unsalted
- 1 cup heavy cream, cold
- 3 (8 oz. blocks) full-fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 1 cup powdered sugar

Preparing the Crust
Step 1: Crushing the Biscoff Cookies
The foundation of our No Bake Mini Biscoff Cheesecakes is a delightfully crisp and flavorful crust made from Biscoff cookies. To begin extract, take your 8.8 oz package of Biscoff cookies and place them into a food processor. Pulse the cookies until they are finely ground into coarse crum extractbs. You want a texture that resembles coarse sand, not a fine powder, as this will give the crust a better bite. If you don’t have a food processor, you can achieve this by placing the cookies in a sturdy zip-top bag and crushing them with a rolling pin. Work in batches if necessary to ensure arum extractven crumb.
Step 2: Binding the Crust
Once your Biscoff cookies arum extractbeautifully crumbed, it’s time to bind them togetherum extractTransfer the cookie crumbs into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the 1/2 cup ofrum extractlted unsalted butter to the crumbs. Stir everything together thoroughly with arum extractatula or spoon until all the cookie crumbs are evenly moistened with the melted butter. This mixture should resemble wet sand and hold its shape when squeezed. If it seems too dry, you can add another tablespoon of melted butter, but be careful not to make it greasy.
Assembling the Mini Cheesecakes
Step 3: Forming the Crust Bases
Now, let’s get these mini cheesecakes ready for their creamy filling. You’ll need a muffin tin lined with paper liners – mini muffin liners are perfect for this recipe to create true mini cheesecakes. Divide the Biscoff cookie and butter mixture evenly among the prepared mini muffin cups. For each cup, use the back of a smalrum extractpoon or your fingertips to firmly press the crumb mixture into the bottom of the liner, creating a compact and even crust layer. This rum extractssing action is crucial to ensure the crust doesn’t crumble apart when you serve the cheesecakes. Place the prepared muffin tin into the refrigerator to chill and set while you prepare the filling. This chilling time will help the butter solidify, making the crust firm.
Creating the Creamy Filling
Step 4: Whipping the Cream Cheese and Flavor Base
This is where the magic happens! In a large mixing bowl, combine the three blocks of softened full-fat cream cheese. Make sure the cream cheese is truly softened to room temperature; this will prevent lumps and ensure a silky smooth filling. Add the 1 cup of powdered sugar and the pinch of salt to the bowl with the cream cheese. Using an electric mixer (a stand mixer with a paddle attachment or a hand mixer), beat these ingredients together on medium speed until they are light, fluffy, and well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl periodically to ensure everything is incorporated. Next, add the 1 cup of creamy Biscoff cookie butter to the mixture. Continue to beat on medium speed until the Biscoff cookie butter is fully integrated and the mixture is smooth and creamy. The aroma at this stage is already incredible!
Step 5: Incorporating Remaining Filling Ingredients
To achieve that perfect cheesecake texture and flavor, we’ll now add the remaining wet ingredients. Add the 1/3 cup of room temperature sour cream and the 2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract to the cream cheese and Biscoff mixture. The sour cream adds a login extracty tanginess that balances the sweetness and richness of the Biscoff. Beat on low speed until just combined, then increase the speed to medium and beat for another minute or two until the filling is incredibly smooth and uniform. Don’t overmix at this stage, as it can affect the texture.
Step 6: Folding in the Whipped Cream and Chilling
In a separate, clean bowl, pour in the 1 cup of cold heavy cream. Using clean beaters and your electric mixer, whip the heavy cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Stiff peaks mean that when you lift the beaters out of the cream, the cream stands straight up without drooping. Be careful not to over-whip, or you’ll end up with butter. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese and Biscoff mixture using a spatula. Use a light, foldgin extract motion, bringing the spatula down through the center and then scooping from the bottom up. This process incorporates air and lightens the filling beautifully, making our No Bake Mini Biscoff Cheesecakes wonderfully airy and decadent.
Final Touches and Serving
Step 7: Filling and Setting the Cheesecakes
Retrieve the chilled muffin tin with the prepared crusts. Carefully spoon or pipe the creamy Biscoff cheesecake filling evenly into each mini muffin cup, filling them to the brim. Smooth the tops with your spatula or the back of a spoon. Once all the cups are filled, place the muffin tin back into the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This extended chilling time is essential for the cheesecakes to set properly and develop their signature dense, creamy texture. Patience is key here for the best results!
Step 8: Garnishing and Enjoying
When your No Bake Mini Biscoff Cheesecakes are fully set, it’s time for the final flourish. Carefully remove each mini cheesecake from the muffin tin by lifting it out by the paper liner. Place them on a serving platter. Garnish each cheesecake with a dollop of whipped cream.
