Ingredient Notes

I absolutely adore these No Bake Biscoff Cheesecake Cups, and much of their charm comes from selecting the right ingredients. Let me walk you through the stars of this show and some handy substitutions I’ve learned along the way.

The Crust

Biscoff Cookies (Lotus Biscoff Speculoos Cookies): These are the heart and soul of the crust! Their unique caramelized, spiced flavor is what makes these cheesecake cups truly Biscoff. I find they crush beautifully and hold together wonderfully. You’ll need about one and a half standard sleeves.
Melted Unsalted Butter: This acts as the binding agent for our cookie crumbs, creating a sturdy yet crumbly base that doesn’t fall apart. Unsalted butter gives me control over the overall sweetness and saltiness, but salted works in a pinch if that’s all you have – just be mindful of any extra saltiness.

Crust Substitutions: While Biscoff cookies are critical for the authentic flavor, if you absolutely can’t find them, you could use graham crackers combined with a pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg. However, I promise, it won’t be quite the same Biscoff magic!

The Cheesecake Filling

Full-Fat Cream Cheese: For that rich, creamy, and wonderfully tangy cheesecake texture, full-fat cream cheese is a must. Since we’re not baking these cups, the fat content helps the filling set firm and smooth. Make sure it’s at room temperature before you start – this is key for a lump-free, silky mixture!
Powdered Sugar (Confectioners’ Sugar): This is my sweetener of choice for no-bake cheesecakes because it dissolves instantly, ensuring a smooth, grit-free filling. It also contains a small amount of cornstarch, which helps stabilize the filling slightly.
Biscoff Cookie Butter (Lotus Biscoff Spread): This is where the Biscoff flavor truly shines in the filling! It’s a smooth, spreadable version of the cookies, adding an incredible depth of caramelized spice. Don’t skip this ingredient; it’s what differentiates these from a generic cheesecake. I usually warm it slightly in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to make it easier to incorporate.
Heavy Cream (or Heavy Whipping Cream): Whipped heavy cream is what gives our no-bake cheesecake its luscious, airy texture and helps it set. It adds a wonderful lightness that contrasts perfectly with the rich cream cheese. Ensure it’s very cold before whipping for the best results.
Vanilla Extract: A touch of vanilla enhances all the other flavors, adding a subtle warmth and sweetness. Pure vanilla extract is always my preference for the best flavor.

Filling Substitutions: For the cream cheese, while full-fat is best, you could use a reduced-fat version if you prefer, but the texture might be slightly less rich and firm. As for the Biscoff cookie butter, there isn’t a direct substitute that would keep the “Biscoff” in the name, but if you have allergies, you could potentially use a different nut or seed butter, though it would drastically change the flavor profile. I recommend sticking to the Biscoff spread for this recipe’s true identity!

Step-by-Step Instructions

Making these No Bake Biscoff Cheesecake Cups is surprisingly straightforward, and the best part is, there’s no oven involved! Here’s how I get those perfect, individual servings every time.

Prepare Your Muffin Tin: First things first, I grab a standard 12-cup muffin tin and line each cup with paper liners. This is crucial for easily removing your cheesecake cups once they’re set. If you want to go liner-free for a cleaner look, you can lightly grease the tin, but I find liners simplify the process immensely.
Crush the Biscoff Cookies: I place about 25-30 Biscoff cookies (roughly 5 ounces) into a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, you can put them in a sturdy zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin – it’s a great stress reliever!
Make the Biscoff Crust: Transfer the Biscoff crumbs to a medium bowl. Melt 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) of unsalted butter and pour it over the crumbs. Stir well with a spoon or fork until all the crumbs are moistened and resemble wet sand.
Press the Crusts: Spoon about 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons of the Biscoff crumb mixture into the bottom of each lined muffin cup. Using the back of a spoon, a small tart tamper, or even your fingers, press the crumbs down firmly and evenly. This creates a solid base for your cheesecake. Pop the muffin tin into the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
Whip the Heavy Cream: In a large, chilled mixing bowl, using an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat 1 1/2 cups of very cold heavy cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. This means when you lift the whisk, the cream holds its shape firmly. Be careful not to overbeat, or it might turn grainy. Set aside.
Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In another large mixing bowl, beat 16 ounces (two 8-ounce blocks) of softened full-fat cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until it’s completely smooth and creamy, with no lumps. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Add Sweetness and Flavor: To the cream cheese, add 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, 1/2 cup of Biscoff cookie butter (I usually warm this slightly in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to make it easier to mix), and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed until everything is well combined and the mixture is silky smooth. Again, scrape down the bowl to ensure no pockets of unmixed ingredients remain.
Combine the Filling: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a rubber spatula. I do this in two additions, folding until just combined. The key here is to be gentle and avoid overmixing, as you want to keep that lovely airy texture from the whipped cream.
Fill the Cups: Take your muffin tin with the chilled crusts out of the refrigerator. Evenly spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling over the crusts, filling each cup almost to the top. I like to use an ice cream scoop for even portions, then gently smooth the tops with the back of a spoon.
Chill to Perfection: This is the most critical step for no-bake cheesecakes! Place the muffin tin back into the refrigerator and chill for a minimum of 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight. The longer they chill, the firmer and more stable they will be.
Garnish and Serve: Once thoroughly chilled, remove the cheesecake cups from the muffin tin by gently lifting the paper liners. I love to garnish them with a sprinkle of crushed Biscoff cookies, a drizzle of melted Biscoff cookie butter, or even a dollop of extra whipped cream just before serving. Enjoy your delightful Biscoff creations!
