Assemble: Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling over the cookie base. Smooth the tops.

Chill: Refrigerate for at least 3–4 hours, or overnight for best results.
-
Serve: Drizzle melted Biscoff spread on top and sprinkle with crushed cookies before serving.
Notes
-
Use individual clear cups or jars for a beautiful layered look.
-
You can swap cream cheese with mascarpone for a richer texture.
-
For a lighter version, use Greek yogurt instead of some cream cheese.
-
Keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Tips
-
Whipping cream: Make sure the cream is very cold for stable peaks.
-
Cookie crust: Press firmly so the base holds shape when scooping.
-
Drizzle hack: Microwave the Biscoff spread for 10–15 seconds to make it pourable.
-
Make ahead: Perfect dessert for parties, since they set beautifully overnight.
Servings

Makes about 6–8 cups depending on size.

Q/A
Q: Can I freeze these cheesecake cups?
A: Yes, you can freeze them for up to 2 weeks. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.
Q: Can I make it less sweet?
A: Reduce powdered sugar or use unsweetened whipped cream to balance sweetness.
Q: Can I use other cookies instead of Biscoff?
A: Yes, graham crackers, digestive biscuits, or Oreos work well.
Q: Do I need gelatin to set the cheesecake?
A: No, the whipped cream stabilizes the filling, so gelatin is not necessary.
