Ingredients

Crust

  • 4 ounces Biscoff cookies, finely crushed
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar

Filling

  • 12 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup Biscoff cookie butter
  • ⅜ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk

Topping

  • ¼ cup Biscoff cookie butter, warmed for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prepare Crust: Combine crushed Biscoff cookies, melted butter, and brown sugar in a bowl until evenly moistened. Press this mixture firmly into the bottoms of mini cheesecake molds or a muffin tin lined with mini cupcake liners to form a compact crust. Chill the crust in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to set.
  2. Mix Cream Cheese: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add ½ cup Biscoff cookie butter and continue beating until fully incorporated. Gradually add the granulated sugar and salt, mixing until just combined to avoid overmixing.
  3. Add Dairy and Flavorings: Add sour cream, heavy cream, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Beat on low speed until the ingredients are just combined, careful not to overmix to maintain a light texture.
  4. Incorporate Eggs: On low speed, gently beat in the whole egg and then the egg yolk one at a time, mixing only until incorporated. Overmixing at this stage can cause cracks during baking.
  5. Preheat and Fill: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Spoon the cheesecake batter evenly over the chilled crusts, filling each mold about two-thirds full to allow room for slight rising during baking.
  6. Bake Cheesecakes: Bake for 22 minutes or until the edges are set and the centers still have a slight jiggle. Avoid overbaking to keep the texture creamy and prevent cracking.
  7. Cool and Chill: Allow the mini cheesecakes to cool in the baking tin for 15 minutes before carefully removing them. Let them cool completely at room temperature. Cover loosely and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours or preferably overnight to fully set and develop flavor.
  8. Prepare Topping and Serve: Gently warm ¼ cup Biscoff cookie butter until it becomes pourable but not hot. Drizzle this over the chilled cheesecakes just before serving for an extra burst of Biscoff flavor.

Notes

  • For easier removal, line muffin tins with cupcake liners before pressing in the crust.
  • Chilling the crust before adding the filling ensures a firm base that won’t mix with the batter.
  • Do not overmix the cream cheese batter to avoid incorporating too much air, which can cause cracking.
  • Baking time may vary slightly depending on oven; watch for set edges and a slightly jiggly center.
  • Allow cheesecakes to chill thoroughly for best texture and flavor development.
  • Use a gentle warming method for the Biscoff cookie butter topping to maintain its creamy texture without burning.
