For the cheesecake filling:

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

Prepare the crust: In a food processor or using a rolling pin, crush the Lotus Biscoff cookies into fine crumbs. Combine the crushed cookies with the melted butter and mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
Assemble the crust: Spoon the cookie mixture evenly into the bottom of small jars or cups. Press the crumbs down firmly to form a crust. Place the cups in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the cheesecake filling.
Make the cheesecake filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar, Biscoff spread, and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and fully combined. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Assemble the cheesecake cups: Spoon the cheesecake mixture on top of the crust in each cup. Smooth the tops with a spatula, then refrigerate the cups for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the cheesecake to firm up.
Garnish and serve: Just before serving, garnish with crushed Lotus Biscoff cookies and a drizzle of Lotus Biscoff spread for extra flavor and texture. Serve chilled.

Variations

Nut crust: For a different crust flavor, try adding chopped nuts like pecans or almonds to the cookie crumbs for added crunch.

FAQs

Can I make this cheesecake without the Biscoff spread?

Yes, you can make this cheesecake without the Biscoff spread, but the flavor will be less rich and caramelized. You can substitute with a different spread like Nutella or peanut butter, or simply stick with the cookie crust and cream cheese filling for a more traditional cheesecake.

Can I use graham crackers instead of Biscoff cookies for the crust?

Yes, you can substitute graham crackers for the Biscoff cookies. The graham cracker crust will give you a more classic cheesecake flavor, but it won’t have the same caramelized taste that Biscoff cookies provide.

How can I make this cheesecake even more indulgent?

To make it even richer, you can add more Lotus Biscoff spread to the filling or drizzle extra spread on top for a gooey finish. You can also add a layer of caramel sauce before serving.

Can I make this cheesecake in a large pan instead of individual cups?

Yes, you can make this cheesecake in a single large pan, such as a pie dish or a square baking dish. Just press the crust into the bottom and spread the cheesecake mixture on top. Refrigerate as usual and slice it into squares or wedges before serving.

How do I know when the cheesecake cups are ready?

The cheesecake cups should be firm and set after refrigerating for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. The filling should hold its shape when you cut into it but remain creamy and smooth inside.

Can I freeze these No-Bake Lotus Biscoff Cheesecake Cups?

Yes, you can freeze these cheesecake cups for up to a month. Simply assemble the cups, cover them tightly, and freeze. When you’re ready to serve, allow them to thaw in the refrigerator for a few hours before enjoying.

Can I use a hand mixer instead of a stand mixer?

Yes, a hand mixer works perfectly fine for mixing the cream cheese and whipped cream. Just make sure to beat the mixture well to achieve the smooth, creamy consistency for the filling.

What if I can’t find Lotus Biscoff cookies?

If you can’t find Lotus Biscoff cookies, you can substitute with another caramelized biscuit or cookie, such as speculoos cookies or even shortbread. The flavor will still be delicious, but the iconic taste of Biscoff will be missed.

Can I make this cheesecake without whipped cream?

While whipped cream adds a light and airy texture to the filling, you can make the cheesecake without it. Just substitute the heavy cream with additional cream cheese for a denser, richer filling.

No-Bake Lotus Biscoff Cheesecake Cups are a deliciously indulgent dessert that combines the smooth, creamy richness of cheesecake with the signature flavor of Lotus Biscoff cookies.
