Step 1: Make the Crumb Base

Start by crushing the Lotus Biscoff biscuits into fine crumbs. You can do this by either using a food processor or by placing the biscuits in a zip-top bag and using a rolling pin to crush them. Once you have the crumbs, add 2 tablespoons of melted butter and mix well. The butter helps bind the crumbs together, giving you that perfect crunchy base.

Reserve a few tablespoons of the crumb mixture for decoration later. Divide the remaining crumb mixture into your dessert cups. This recipe will make about 8 standard-sized cups or 16 smaller “shot” cups, depending on your preference. Aim to add about 2-3 tablespoons of the crumb mixture into each cup and press down gently to create an even layer. Set the cups aside while you prepare the filling.

Step 2: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

In a large bowl, pour the heavy cream and begin whisking it until stiff peaks form. This will take a few minutes, so be patient! You’ll know it’s ready when the cream holds its shape and doesn’t slump down when you lift the whisk.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the room-temperature cream cheese, powdered sugar, Biscoff spread, and vanilla extract. Continue whisking until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, with no lumps. Next, gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Use a spatula to combine the two, taking care not to deflate the whipped cream too much. The goal is to keep the mixture light and airy.

Step 3: Assemble the Cups

Once the cheesecake filling is ready, transfer it into a large piping bag. If you don’t have a piping bag, you can simply use a plastic zip-top bag and snip off the corner. Pipe the cheesecake mixture into each of the dessert cups, filling them generously.

Now, take the 1/2 cup of Biscoff spread and melt it in the microwave for about 20 seconds or until it becomes liquid. Drizzle the melted spread over the top of each cheesecake cup, creating a smooth, glossy layer.

For the final touch, decorate each cup with a half of a Biscoff cookie. If you saved a bit of the crumb mixture, sprinkle it on top for extra crunch and flavor.

Step 4: Refrigerate and Set

Place the cups in the refrigerator and allow them to chill for at least 4 hours. The cheesecake will firm up as it cools, creating a rich, creamy texture that’s perfect for enjoying after a meal. Once chilled, you’re ready to serve these no-bake wonders!
