Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (or Biscoff cookie crumbs)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup cookie butter (like Biscoff spread), plus extra for topping
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for whipped cream)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and melted butter until combined.
  2. Press about 1 tablespoon of the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of 12 small dessert cups or liners. Place the cups in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
  3. Make the cheesecake filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth.
  4. Add the 1 cup powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture and beat until fully combined and creamy.
  5. Gently mix in the 1/2 cup of cookie butter until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
  6. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream and the remaining 1/4 cup powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  7. Fold the whipped cream into the cookie butter cream cheese mixture until no streaks remain. This creates your rich cheesecake filling.
  8. Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling evenly over the crusts in the 12 cups.
  9. Chill the cups in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
  10. Before serving, warm a small amount of extra cookie butter slightly (about 10 seconds in the microwave) and drizzle it over the top of each cheesecake cup.

Notes

  • For a Biscoff crust, substitute Biscoff cookies for graham crackers.
  • You can use a piping bag with a large star tip to make the filling look professional in the cups.
  • These are excellent make-ahead dessert cups; they hold well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
