How to Make Mini Biscoff Cheesecakes

Step 1: Make the Biscoff Cookie Crust

In a mixing bowl, stir together the Biscoff cookie crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Portion about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into each cup of a mini cheesecake pan. Firmly press the crumbs down to form the crust. Set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, Biscoff spread, and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour in the heavy cream and whip on medium-high speed until it thickens and becomes light and fluffy.

Step 3: Assemble and Chill

Fill a piping bag with the cheesecake mixture and pipe it onto the prepared crusts, slightly above the top of the pan. Refrigerate for at least 12 hours or overnight until fully set. After chilling, carefully remove the cheesecakes from the pan.

Step 4: Make the Whipped Cream

In a bowl, whip together heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until medium-stiff peaks form. Transfer this mixture to a piping bag fitted with a Wilton 1M piping tip.

Step 5: Decorate and Serve

Melt the Biscoff spread in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Drizzle it over each cheesecake. Pipe a small swirl of whipped cream on top followed by sprinkling with Biscoff cookie crumbs. Garnish each cheesecake with half of a Biscoff cookie.

How to Perfect Mini Biscoff Cheesecakes

Mini Biscoff Cheesecakes pair wonderfully with various side dishes that complement their flavors. Here are some great options to consider.

1. Fresh Fruit Salad – A light fruit salad made with seasonal fruits adds brightness and balances the richness of the cheesecakes.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

When making Mini Biscoff Cheesecakes, it’s easy to make some common errors. Here are a few mistakes to watch out for:

• Skipping the chilling time – Many rush the chilling process, but this step is crucial for the cheesecake to set properly. Always refrigerate for at least 12 hours.
• Not using room temperature cream cheese – Cold cream cheese can lead to a lumpy filling. Allow it to sit out for about 30 minutes before mixing.
• Overmixing the filling – Overmixing can incorporate too much air, causing the cheesecake to crack. Mix just until smooth and fluffy.
• Ignoring crust thickness – A crust that is too thin won’t support the filling well. Ensure you press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of each cup.
• Forgetting about toppings – Toppings enhance presentation and flavor. Don’t skip the whipped cream and melted cookie butter drizzle!
