These Cookie Butter Cheesecake Cups are a delightful no-bake dessert featuring creamy, smooth cheesecake mousse layered over a crunchy speculoos cookie crust. Perfectly portioned for individual servings, they are drizzled with cookie butter and garnished with extra cookies for a rich, indulgent treat that comes together quickly and requires minimal chilling time.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 cup Biscoff or speculoos cookie crumbs
  • 3 tbsp melted butter

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ cup cookie butter (plus extra for drizzling)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Garnish

  • Extra cookies for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a small bowl, combine the Biscoff or speculoos cookie crumbs with melted butter until evenly mixed. Spoon this mixture evenly into the bottom of each serving cup to create a firm base layer.
  2. Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. This means when you lift the beaters, the cream should hold a soft peak that slightly droops.
  3. Make cheesecake mixture: In a large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, cookie butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy without lumps.
  4. Fold whipped cream into cheesecake base: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, using a spatula to combine without deflating the air, creating a light and airy mousse-like texture.
  5. Assemble layers: Spoon a layer of the cheesecake filling over the cookie crumb crust in each cup. Drizzle a little melted cookie butter over the filling for extra flavor.
  6. Repeat layering: Add another layer of cookie crumbs if desired and top with the remaining cheesecake filling, finishing with a smooth layer on top.
  7. Garnish: Decorate each cheesecake cup with extra cookie crumbs or whole cookies as a garnish for added texture and visual appeal.
  8. Chill: Place the assembled cups in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour to allow the cheesecake cups to set and flavors to meld before serving.

Notes

  • For the best texture, make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before mixing.
  • Use a light folding technique to maintain the whipped cream’s fluffiness in the cheesecake filling.
  • These cups can be prepared a day ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator.
  • Optional garnish can be adapted to personal preference, such as crushed nuts or a drizzle of caramel.
  • To intensify cookie butter flavor, warm cookie butter slightly before drizzling.
