Ingredients
For the Crust:
- 4 ounces Biscoff cookies (about 12 cookies)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon light brown sugar
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 12 ounces full-fat cream cheese, softened
- 3/8 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
For the Topping:
- 3/4 cup cookie butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a standard muffin tin with 12 cupcake liners.
- Crush the Biscoff cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.
- In a small bowl, mix the cookie crumbs with melted butter and brown sugar until well combined.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into each cupcake liner and press down firmly to form the crust. Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass for evenness.
- Bake the crusts for 5 minutes, then set aside to cool slightly.
Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy.
- Add the sour cream, egg, egg yolk, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent air bubbles.
- Pour the cheesecake mixture over the prepared crusts, filling each liner about three-quarters full.
Step 3: Swirl in the Cookie Butter
- In a small bowl, mix the melted cookie butter with heavy cream until smooth. Drop small spoonfuls of the mixture onto each cheesecake.
- Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the cookie butter into the cheesecake batter for a marbled effect.
Step 4: Bake and Cool
- Bake the mini cheesecakes for 15–18 minutes, or until the centers are set but still slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven, crack the door slightly, and let the cheesecakes cool inside for 10 minutes. This prevents cracking.
- Remove from the oven and cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
- Once chilled, garnish the mini cheesecakes with an extra drizzle of melted cookie butter or a sprinkle of crushed Biscoff cookies for added flair. Serve and enjoy!
