How to make these No Bake Biscoff Cheesecake Cups
Ingredients for Biscoff Cheesecake Cups
Lotus Biscoff cookies. You can use another variety of vegan speculoos cookies if that is what you have.
Dairy free cream. We used soya cream. If you get a vegan whipping cream you can use it to decorate these cheesecakes too!
Dairy-free cream cheese. We have tried this recipe with both Violife and vegan Philadelphia, both work well.
Lotus Biscoff spread. Get the smooth variety of this cookie butter spread.
Substitutions and Variations
Cream variations. We have tested the cheesecake layer with various plant based heavy cream (double cream) varieties such as Alpro soya cream, Elmlea fava bean cream and Flora lentil protein cream; all work well. We don’t recommend using coconut cream for this recipe because it will likely impart a coconut flavour into the cheesecake layer.
Alternative to Biscoff? Biscoff is a brand name of a speculoos biscuit and cookie butter in the UK. If you can’t get Biscoff Lotus biscuits or spread where you live, you can use a different brand of vegan speculoos biscuit and spiced cookie butter.
Equipment
You’ll ideally need a electric hand whisk, high speed blender or food processor for this recipe. You can whisk by hand but you’ll get a smoother result if you use a blender or whisk.
You’ll also need six 200ml (7oz) glasses or four 300ml (10oz) glasses or dessert jars.
Step-By-Step Instructions
Make sure to head to the recipe card below for the full recipe and instructions on how to make these Biscoff cheesecake jars!
Note: Make sure you take the cream cheese out of the fridge 1 hour before making your cheesecakes, so that it can come up to room temperature and therefore blend more smoothly.
- In a large mixing bowl, use an electric hand whisk to whisk the cream, cream cheese and Biscoff spread on medium-high speed until completely smooth and a thick, creamy texture.
- Add a layer of crumbled Biscoff biscuits to each of your dessert glasses to give you a crunchy buttery Biscoff biscuit base.
- Pour an even layer of cream cheese mixture on top of the biscuit layer, up to around the 1/2-way point on the glass.
- Add another layer of crumbled biscuits.
- Finish with a final layer of creamy filling mixture up to the top of each glass.
- You can serve these desserts immediately if you like (and they’re just as delicious) but we recommend chilling them for 4 hours in the fridge (or overnight) for a firmer consistency.
- Decorate the top of each cheesecake cup with vegan cream whipped to stiff peaks (or you can use vegan spray cream), a zig zag of warmed Biscoff spread and a Biscoff biscuit or extra Biscoff cookie crumbs before serving. A delicious dessert!
Tip: To get Biscoff spread to a pourable consistency for decorating, warm it gently in a saucepan until it melts (around 1 minute). Let it sit off the heat for around 10 minutes before decorating your desserts, to give it time to cool down so it doesn’t melt the cream!
How to Serve
From the fridge. For best results, serve these Lotus Biscoff Cheesecake Cups straight from the fridge. Decorate and add toppings to the dessert cups on serving.
What flavours pair well with these Biscoff Cheesecake Cups? The spiced flavour of Biscoff pairs very well with cream, dark chocolate and coffee. You might like to decorate your cheesecake cups with whipped cream, and grated dark chocolate and serve with a side of espresso coffee.
How to Store
Refrigerate. Cover the tops of the glasses with eco cling film and store these No-Bake Biscoff Cheesecake Cups in the fridge until you are ready to serve. Decorate on serving.
Success Tips
Use room temperature ingredients. Take the cream cheese out of the fridge 1 hour before using it. This helps it to blend smoothly and prevents lumps in the creamy Biscoff cheesecake filling mixture.
Use an electric whisk. Whilst you can whip the cheesecake mixture by hand, you’ll get a much smoother consistency if you use an electric whisk or blender.
Chill for a firmer texture. Once you’ve put your cheesecake cups together, without the toppings, chill them for at least 4 hours to create a firmer cheesecake texture. You can eat this dessert as soon as you’ve made it, but the cream layer will be softer.
Warm the Biscoff spread gently. If you plan to decorate your layered Biscoff cheesecake cups with zig zags of Biscoff spread, warm it gently in a small saucepan to loosen the texture. Avoid overheating as this can cause it to clump together. Let it cool slightly before drizzling to create a consistency that is easy to work with but that doesn’t melt the cream underneath.
FAQs
Can I make these cheesecake cups in advance?
Yes! Prepare these no bake cheesecake cups up to a day in advance, cover with eco cling film and store in the fridge. Add the toppings and decoration just before serving.
Can I use a different type of biscuit?
Yes! You could use vegan-friendly digestive biscuits or chocolate biscuits as an alternative to crunchy Biscoff biscuits.
