What is Biscoff?

Biscoff, also known as Lotus Biscoff, is a brand of spiced speculoos cookies that originated in Belgium. These cookies are known for their crispy texture and warm, slightly spiced flavour, which comes from the blend of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and other spices.

Biscoff spread, also known as cookie butter, is a delicious and creamy spread made from Biscoff cookies ground into a smooth paste. It has a similar texture to peanut butter and Nutella, but instead has a unique, caramelised cinnamon flavour.

What are no bake cheesecakes?

No bake cheesecakes do not contain eggs and don't require any cooking. Compared to baked cheesecakes, they're less dense and offer a light and fluffy cream cheese based filling similar to a mousse. In addition, cheesecake batter can sometimes use gelatin to help stabilise it. However, this recipe won't need any because it's piped into a serving dish and spooned out rather than sliced.

Ingredients

Chummys Biscoff Cookies- Crumbled cookies make up the delicious base for these no bake cheesecake cups. Typically these desserts use graham crackers and melted butter, but our soft and gooey cookies offer the perfect texture with a much better taste.

Mascarpone- Mascarpone is an Italian cheese with a very rich taste. It's similar to cream cheese, but it's made from heavy cream rather than milk.

Cream cheese- Cream cheese and Mascarpone are the base for this no bake lotus biscoff cheesecake cups recipe. It adds a great tangy flavour that pairs exceptionally well with the spices in the Biscoff spread.

Powdered sugar- Powered sugar (also known as confectioners sugar or icing sugar) is used to sweeten this recipe instead of granulated sugar. Granulated sugar will leave the cheesecake mixture grainy, whereas powdered sugar ensures a silky smooth consistency. 

Cookie butter- Biscoff cookie butter spread adds a concentrated flavour to the cheesecake filling.

Heavy whipping cream- Heavy cream makes the cheesecake filling light and airy. You can also use double cream to make a thicker filling.

Vanilla extract-Vanilla extract helps elevate the cream cheese and mascarpone's natural flavours.

Whipped Cream- To top off each dessert, a scoop of whipped cream contrasts the rich filling and crunchy cookie layers.

How to make No Bake Biscoff Cheesecake Cups

Ingredients

• 4-ounces mascarpone

•  4 ounces full-fat cream cheese, softened

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• Pinch of salt

7. Pipe a 1/2-inch layer of cheesecake filling on top. Then, drizzle a bit of melted Biscoff spread on top of that. Repeat each layer in the same order until it's near the top of your serving cup. If desired, finish with additional whipped cream and crumbled Chummys Lotus Biscoff cookies or Biscoff cookie crumbs.

8. Place the Biscoff no bake cheesecake cups into the refrigerator and chill for 1 hour for best results. Enjoy the chilled cheesecake straight from the jar with a spoon. Place a Biscoff cookie into the top layer of whipped cream to garnish for presentation.
