how to make Mini Biscoff Cheesecakes
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups Biscoff cookie crumbs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 2 cups cream cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup Biscoff spread
- 1/4 cup Biscoff cookies, crumbled
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by lining each cup with paper liners.
- In a medium bowl, combine the Biscoff cookie crumbs and melted butter, mixing until the crumbs are evenly coated and firm.
- Spoon about one tablespoon of the cookie crumb mixture into each muffin cup and press it down with the back of a spoon to create a solid crust.
- Bake the muffin tin in the oven for 5 minutes to set the crust. After baking, remove it from the oven and let the crusts cool completely.
- While the crusts cool, beat the cream cheese in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Add the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Beat on medium speed until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth.
- Mix in the Biscoff spread until fully incorporated, ensuring the filling is thick and smooth.
- Spoon or pipe the Biscoff cheesecake mixture onto each cooled cookie crust, filling them almost to the top.
- Smooth the tops with a spatula for an even finish.
- Chill the mini cheesecakes in the fridge for at least 3 hours or until fully set.
- Once chilled, take them out of the fridge and top each with crumbled Biscoff cookies.
- Serve immediately or keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy.
