Ingredients

- Melted butter
- Cream cheese, softened
- Powdered sugar
- Vanilla extract
- Whipped cream
- Biscoff spread for topping
Variations
- Flavored Whipped Cream: Add a splash of cinnamon or a dash of caramel flavor to the whipped cream for an extra layer of flavor.
- Other Cookie Crusts: Instead of Biscoff cookies, you can use graham crackers, Oreos, or any other cookie you prefer for the crust.
- Fruit Topping: Add fresh fruit like berries or sliced bananas as a topping for a fresh contrast to the rich creaminess of the dessert.
- Nutty Crunch: For added texture, sprinkle chopped nuts such as almonds or hazelnuts on top of the dessert.
How to Make the Recipe
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
In a bowl, combine the crushed Biscoff cookies with melted butter. Stir until well combined, ensuring that the butter evenly coats the crumbs. Press the mixture into the bottom of dessert cups to form a crust. Make sure the crust is compact and firm.
Step 2: Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling
In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until the mixture is fully incorporated.
Step 3: Fold in the Whipped Cream
Gently fold in the whipped cream until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream too much; you want the filling to stay light and airy.
Step 4: Assemble the Dessert Cups
Scoop the cream cheese mixture into the dessert cups on top of the Biscoff cookie crust, smoothing the tops with a spoon or spatula.
Step 5: Chill
Refrigerate the dessert cups for at least 1 hour to allow the filling to firm up and the flavors to meld together.
Step 6: Add the Topping
Before serving, drizzle a generous amount of Biscoff spread on top of each dessert cup. You can use a spoon or microwave the spread for a few seconds to make it easier to drizzle.
Tips for Making the Recipe
- Softening the Cream Cheese: Be sure to soften the cream cheese before mixing to avoid lumps and achieve a smooth filling.
- Whipped Cream: For best results, use fresh, unsweetened whipped cream. If you use store-bought whipped cream, make sure it’s well-mixed before folding it into the cream cheese.
- Make it a Day Ahead: These dessert cups hold up well in the fridge, so feel free to make them the day before your event to save time.
- Don’t Overmix: When folding in the whipped cream, do so gently to keep the mixture light and airy.
- Crust Option: If you prefer a firmer crust, you can slightly bake the Biscoff cookie mixture for about 5 minutes at 350°F before adding the cream cheese filling.

Serve these Biscoff Dessert Cups as a fun, individual dessert at your next gathering or dinner party. They’re easy to pass around and make a great presentation when placed on a dessert tray.

Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
Store any leftover Biscoff Dessert Cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The creamy filling will remain fresh, and the crust will stay crunchy.
Freezing
While these dessert cups are best enjoyed fresh, you can freeze them for up to 1 month. Allow them to thaw in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving.
Reheating
Reheating is not necessary as these dessert cups are served chilled. However, if you prefer a warmer topping, you can gently warm the Biscoff spread in the microwave before drizzling it on top.
