how to make No Bake Mini Biscoff Cheesecakes
Ingredients:
- 200 g Biscoff biscuits (approximately 20 biscuits)
- 85 g unsalted butter, melted
- 250 g cream cheese, room temperature
- 100 g powdered sugar
- 200 ml heavy cream
- 150 g Biscoff spread
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Extra crushed Biscoff biscuits, for garnish
- Whipped cream, for topping (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Crush the Biscoff biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed plastic bag and pounding with a rolling pin.
- In a bowl, combine the crushed biscuits with the melted butter until well mixed.
- Evenly distribute the biscuit mixture into the bottoms of a silicone muffin pan, pressing down firmly to create a base layer.
- In a separate large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth using an electric mixer.
- Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and Biscoff spread to the cream cheese, mixing until well combined and creamy.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, maintaining the mixture’s lightness and volume.
- Spoon the creamy mixture over the biscuit bases in the muffin pan, smoothing the tops for an even finish.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
- Once set, carefully remove the mini cheesecakes from the pan.
- Garnish with extra crushed Biscoff biscuits and a dollop of whipped cream, if desired, before serving.
Pro Tips
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing for a perfectly smooth texture. Cold cream cheese will create lumps in your mixture.
- Whipping Cream: When whipping the cream, ensure your bowl and beaters are cold. This helps achieve the best peaks possible.
- Biscoff Spread: If you can’t find Biscoff spread, creamy peanut butter or nutella can be used as substitutes, but they will alter the flavor profile slightly.
- Silicone Molds: Using silicone molds makes it easy to pop the cheesecakes out; if you don’t have any, be sure to line your muffin pan with cupcake liners.
- Chilling Time: While it might be tempting to dive in early, letting the cheesecakes chill for a full four hours allows the flavors to meld perfectly.

tips to make No Bake Mini Biscoff Cheesecakes
- Be Gentle: When folding in the whipped cream, do so gently to avoid deflating the mixture. This airiness is what gives your cheesecake that light texture.
- Taste as You Go: Feel free to taste your filling before it sets! You can adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more powdered sugar if desired.
- Scoop and Spread: Use a cookie scoop for portioning the filling into the mini cheesecakes. It’s neater and helps create uniform portions.
- Chill Your Tools: For the best whipped cream, chill your bowl and whisk before whipping the cream.
variation
- Vegan Version: Swap cream cheese for a vegan cream cheese alternative and use tempered coconut cream for the whipped topping. Ensure your biscuits are also vegan-friendly.
- Gluten-Free Version: Use gluten-free Biscoff-style cookies or any suitable alternative to make this dessert gluten-free without sacrificing flavor.
- Chocolate Hazelnut Twist: Replace Biscoff spread with chocolate hazelnut spread. It provides a delightful combination of flavors!

Customization Ideas
Feel free to adjust the cheesecake flavor by adding spices like cinnamon or nutmeg. You can also incorporate some crushed nuts into the crust for added crunch. For toppings, fresh fruit, chocolate shavings, or even a sprinkle of sea salt can complement the sweetness nicely.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Overmixing: Mixing the cream cheese for too long can lead to a dense texture instead of the light, fluffy feel you want.
- Skipping Chilling Time: Not letting the cheesecakes set properly will result in a runny filling instead of that creamy consistency.
- Warm Ingredients: Using warm butter in the crust mixture can lead to a soggy base. Ensure the butter has cooled slightly before mixing.
