Tools Required
- Muffin tin with liners
- Mixing bowls
- Electric mixer or stand mixer
- Food processor or plastic bag (for crushing cookies)
- Spatula
- Piping bag (optional, for whipped cream)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Biscoff cookies and melted butter until evenly moistened.
- Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners and spoon about 1½ tablespoons of the crust mixture into each liner. Press firmly with the back of a spoon to form a compact base.
- Bake the crusts for 5 minutes, then let them cool while you prepare the filling.
2. Make the Cheesecake Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated.
- Fold in the Biscoff spread until the mixture is smooth and evenly flavored.
3. Assemble the Cheesecakes
- Divide the filling evenly among the prepared muffin liners, filling each about ¾ full.
- Smooth the tops with a spatula for a polished look.
4. Bake the Mini Cheesecakes
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes, or until the centers are set but still slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven and let the cheesecakes cool inside with the door slightly open for 10 minutes. This prevents cracking.
- Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
5. Decorate and Serve
- Melt the Biscoff spread in the microwave for 20–30 seconds and drizzle it over the chilled cheesecakes.
- Garnish with whipped cream and a sprinkle of crushed Biscoff cookies for added texture and flavor.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
