Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
For the Biscoff Base
8 tablespoons smooth Biscoff spread (divided into 2 tablespoons per dessert cup) This melted spread creates a rich, flavorful base layer in each jar.
For the Whipped Biscoff Cheesecake Filling
¾ cup heavy cream (must be at least 33% fat content) Whipped to stiff peaks, this provides the light and airy structure of the cheesecake layer.
7 ounces full-fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature Delivers the classic cheesecake richness and helps stabilize the filling.
½ cup smooth Biscoff spread Blended with the cream cheese for deep cookie butter flavor throughout.
For the Topping
8 to 12 tablespoons smooth Biscoff spread, melted This glossy top layer gives each cup a beautiful finish and extra decadence.
6 to 8 Biscoff cookies, crushed Adds a bit of crunch and contrast on top before serving.
Directions
Chill the mixing bowl: Place a metal mixing bowl in the freezer for 10 minutes. This helps the cream whip faster and hold its structure.
Whip the cream: Remove the chilled bowl from the freezer, pour in the heavy cream, and whip using a hand mixer. Start on low speed, then increase to medium-high. Beat until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
Make the cheesecake base: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with ½ cup of Biscoff spread until the mixture is completely smooth. Don’t overmix, as it can loosen the structure.
Combine cream and filling: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese and Biscoff mixture in two batches. This keeps the mixture airy and smooth. Chill it while preparing the jars.
Prepare the jars: Melt 8 tablespoons of Biscoff spread until smooth (10–15 seconds in the microwave or over a double boiler). Add 2 tablespoons to the bottom of each dessert jar or cup, swirling slightly to coat the base.
Add the cheesecake filling: Spoon or pipe the whipped cheesecake mixture into each jar on top of the melted Biscoff layer. Leave a bit of room at the top for the final layer.
Top with melted Biscoff: Melt another 8–12 tablespoons of Biscoff spread. Spoon 2–3 tablespoons over each cheesecake layer, letting it settle into a smooth, glossy finish.
Chill: Place the jars in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the layers to set.
Garnish and serve: Before serving, sprinkle crushed Biscoff cookies on top. Optionally, drizzle with more melted Biscoff spread for an elegant finish.

FAQs
What kind of jars or cups work best?
Clear glass jars or cups holding about 220 ml (7.4 oz) are ideal. This size allows for visible layers and perfect single servings.
Can I use low-fat cream cheese?
You can, but the texture will be softer and less rich. Full-fat cream cheese gives the best result in both flavor and structure.
Do I have to whip the cream separately?
Yes. Whipping the cream before folding it in gives the cheesecake filling its light and fluffy texture. Skipping this step will make the filling denser.
Is this dessert overly sweet?
Despite the cookie butter and cream, it’s well-balanced. If you prefer less sweetness, reduce the Biscoff spread slightly or skip the final topping layer.
Can I use crunchy Biscoff spread instead of smooth?
Yes, but the texture will be slightly gritty and less creamy. It can add a fun crunch if you prefer that variation.
How far in advance can I make these?
You can make them up to 2 days in advance. Add crushed cookies just before serving to avoid them getting soggy.
Can I add a cookie crust instead of melted Biscoff?
Yes. Mix crushed Biscoff cookies with melted butter and press into the bottom of each jar for a classic cheesecake-style base.
Can I make this recipe vegan?
Yes, by using dairy-free cream cheese and a plant-based whipped topping. Make sure all substitutes are unsweetened and unflavored to match the original taste.
Why is my cheesecake mixture too soft?
This can happen if the cream wasn’t whipped to stiff peaks or if the filling was overmixed. Make sure ingredients are properly measured and mixed gently.
Can I substitute Biscoff spread with another cookie butter?
Yes, you can use any cookie butter, such as Trader Joe’s Speculoos. However, flavors and textures may vary slightly.
