🛒 Ingredients
🍪 For the Crust
- 1 ½ cups Biscoff cookie crumbs (about 20 cookies)
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
🍰 For the Cheesecake Filling
- 16 oz (2 blocks) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt for a lighter version)
🍯 For the Topping
- ½ cup Biscoff cookie butter, melted
- 6 Biscoff cookies, crushed (for garnish)
👩🍳 Directions
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
- Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).
- Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a bowl, combine Biscoff cookie crumbs with melted butter.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into each liner and press down firmly using the bottom of a glass.
🧈 The crust should be firm and even — it sets the stage for a creamy bite.
Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling
- In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
- Add sugar and continue to beat until combined.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed.
- Stir in vanilla and sour cream until just combined.
⚠️ Avoid overmixing once eggs are added — it prevents cracking.
Step 3: Fill & Bake
- Spoon the cheesecake batter into the liners, filling each about ¾ full.
- Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the centers are set and no longer jiggly.
- Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
- Transfer to the fridge and chill for 2 hours, or until completely cold.
Step 4: Add the Biscoff Topping
- Once cooled, melt the cookie butter until smooth and pourable (microwave 20–30 seconds).
- Spoon or drizzle over each cheesecake.
- Sprinkle with crushed Biscoff cookies for garnish.
🍯 That silky Biscoff swirl on top is what dreams are made of.
