Unsalted butter, melted

Powdered sugar

Optional: Biscoff spread for swirls or drizzle
Directions
-
I finely crush the Biscoff cookies—reserving a handful for topping—and mix the crumbs with melted butter.

I press the crumb mixture into the bottoms of a muffin tin lined with paper or silicone cups to form mini crusts.

In a bowl, I beat together softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
-
I whip in heavy cream (or sour cream) until the filling is velvety and just pipeable.
-
I spoon or pipe the cheesecake mixture onto the crusts, filling each nearly to the top.

If I want extra Biscoff flavor, I swirl a little Biscoff spread into the center of each cheesecake.
-
I chill the mini cheesecakes in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
-
Just before serving, I crumble more Biscoff cookies on top or add a dollop of Biscoff spread for garnish.

Storage/reheating
I store these mini cheesecakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. They’re best enjoyed cold. Since they’re no-bake, reheating isn’t necessary—but I sometimes let them sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before eating to soften the texture slightly.
FAQs
Can I make these ahead for a party?
I absolutely can—I often prepare them a day in advance, chill them overnight, and they’re party-ready the next day.
How long do they need to chill?
I usually wait at least 4 hours, but chilling overnight gives the best texture and flavor.
Can I freeze the mini cheesecakes?
I don’t recommend freezing them. Although they freeze okay, the texture can be slightly grainy upon thawing. I prefer them fresh-chilled.
Can I use a different cookie for the crust?
I can swap Biscoff for graham crackers, Digestive biscuits, or chocolate cookies. Just crush and mix with butter as usual.
My filling is runny—what should I do?
I make sure my cream cheese is very well softened and vigorously beat the filling. I also avoid overwhipping the cream. If it stays loose, I add a bit more powdered sugar or chill it longer.
Conclusion
I find these Summer Mini Biscoff Cheesecakes to be the perfect warm-weather dessert—simple, fuss-free, and irresistibly flavorful. Whether I’m serving them at a backyard barbecue or a casual get-together, they always disappear fast.
