No-Bake Biscoff Cheesecake Cups are a delightful treat that combines the rich, creamy texture of cheesecake with the warm, spiced flavor of Lotus Biscoff biscuits. Easy to assemble and requiring no oven time, these cups are perfect for a quick dessert that feels indulgent and special.

The image shows five small glass cups filled with a layered dessert. Each cup has three visible layers: a crumbly light brown base, a thick creamy off-white middle, and a white whipped topping sprinkled with more crumbs. On top of the whipped cream, there is a brown drizzle sauce and a single rectangular cookie standing upright. The cups sit on a dark wooden board placed on a white marbled surface scattered with crushed crumbs and three rectangular cookies. A silver spoon with brown sauce lies to the left of the cups.

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  6. Step 6: Transfer the cheesecake filling into a piping bag and pipe it evenly into each prepared cup over the pressed crust.
  7. Step 7: Melt about ½ cup of Biscoff spread in the microwave until pourable. Pour a layer of melted spread over the cheesecake filling in each cup.
  8. Step 8: Top each cup with halved Biscoff cookies and sprinkle reserved cookie crumbs for garnish.
  9. Step 9: Refrigerate the cups for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the cheesecake to set. Serve chilled.

Tips & Variations

  • For a crunchier base, try adding chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts to the crumb mixture.
  • If you prefer a lighter dessert, substitute half the heavy cream with Greek yogurt folded into the filling.
  • Use mini cups or jars to make perfect party-sized portions.
  • Drizzle caramel sauce or sprinkle sea salt on top for an extra flavor dimension.

Storage

Store the cheesecake cups covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep them chilled until ready to serve for the best texture and flavor. If desired, let the cups sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before serving to soften slightly. These no-bake treats are not suitable for freezing.

How to Serve

The image shows five small glass jars filled with a three-layer dessert on a dark wooden board, placed on a white marbled surface. Each jar has a crumbly brown cookie layer at the bottom, a creamy off-white smooth layer in the middle, and a fluffy white whipped cream layer on top. The whipped cream is sprinkled with crushed cookie crumbs and drizzled with caramel sauce. A whole rectangular brown cookie stands upright in each jar, partially embedded in the whipped cream. Scattered cookie crumbs and two whole cookies lie beside the board, along with a spoon dripping caramel sauce. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make these cheesecake cups ahead of time?

Yes, these cups actually improve with time and should be refrigerated for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the filling to set properly.

Can I substitute the cream cheese or Biscoff spread?

You can use mascarpone instead of cream cheese for a richer texture, and peanut butter or another nut butter in place of Biscoff spread, but keep in mind this will change the classic flavor profile.
