Let me share my favorite no-fuss dessert that always gets rave reviews - No-Bake Biscoff Cheesecake Cups! I love how these little cups of heaven layer buttery lotus cookies with creamy cheesecake filling and that irresistible cookie butter topping. The best part? You only need five ingredients and zero baking skills to create these impressive treats.

Simple Yet Spectacular

What makes these cups so special is that amazing spiced Biscoff flavor running through every layer. The way the crunchy cookie base meets that silky cheesecake filling and smooth cookie butter top creates pure magic. They're perfect when you want something fancy but don't want to spend hours in the kitchen.

What You'll Need

  • The Basics:
    • Those wonderful spiced Biscoff cookies
    • A bit of melted butter for the base
    • Heavy cream for whipping
    • Softened cream cheese
    • Just enough powdered sugar
  • The Star:
    • Biscoff spread for that amazing flavor
    • Vanilla to make everything sing
  • For Pretty:
    • Extra cookies and crumbs to decorate
    • Melted Biscoff spread to drizzle

Let's Make Magic

Start with the Base:
Crush those cookies mix with butter and press into your cups save some crumbs for later.
Create the Filling:
Whip that cream until fluffy then mix your cream cheese sugar Biscoff and vanilla fold it all together.
Make Them Pretty:
Pipe your filling add melted Biscoff on top then decorate with cookies and crumbs.
Let Them Set:
Into the fridge for at least 4 hours patience makes them perfect.

My Best Tips

Always use cold cream for the best whip and let that cream cheese get nice and soft first. When you fold everything together be gentle we want to keep all that lovely air in there. These taste even better the next day so feel free to make them ahead.

Keep Them Fresh

Cover them up well and they'll stay perfect in the fridge for 3-4 days. I love making these ahead for parties they're always a hit. Just keep them cool until serving time.
