Ingredients

Ingredient	Quantity
Biscoff cookies (for crust)	200g (about 20 cookies)
Unsalted butter (melted)	80g (5 ½ tbsp)
Cream cheese (softened)	450g (16 oz)
Granulated sugar	100g (½ cup)
Vanilla extract	1 tsp
Large eggs	2
Sour cream	120g (½ cup)
Biscoff spread	150g (¾ cup)

Notes on Ingredients:

• Biscoff Cookies: If unavailable, substitute with graham crackers or digestive biscuits mixed with a teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
• Sour Cream: Greek yogurt can be used for a slightly tangier flavor.
• Biscoff Spread: Ensure it’s slightly warm and pourable for easy swirling.

Equipment Needed

• Food processor: To crush the Biscoff cookies into a fine crumb for the crust.
• 12-cup muffin tin: Perfect for creating individual portions.
• Cupcake liners: Prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the cheesecakes.
• Electric hand mixer or stand mixer: Essential for achieving a smooth and creamy cheesecake batter.
• Spatula: Helps scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl for an even batter.

Each piece of equipment plays a vital role in making these cheesecakes foolproof, ensuring both simplicity and professional results.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Biscoff Crust

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
2. In a food processor, pulse the Biscoff cookies until finely ground. Add melted butter and blend until the mixture resembles wet sand.
3. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the crust mixture into each liner. Use the back of a spoon or a small glass to press it firmly into the base. Bake for 5 minutes, then set aside to cool.

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
2. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
3. Gently fold in the sour cream using a spatula for a luscious texture.

Step 3: Assemble and Bake

1. Spoon the cheesecake batter evenly over the cooled crusts, filling each liner about three-quarters full.
2. Warm the Biscoff spread in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to make it pourable. Drizzle a small amount over each cheesecake and swirl using a toothpick or skewer for a marbled effect.
3. Bake the cheesecakes for 18-20 minutes, or until the centers are just set. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 2 hours to set fully.

Tips and Variations

• Avoid Cracks: Do not overbake; the cheesecakes should jiggle slightly in the center when removed from the oven.
• Flavor Variations: Add a hint of cinnamon or nutmeg to the cheesecake batter for extra warmth.
• Dietary Adjustments: For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free cookies for the crust.

Serving Suggestions

For an elegant presentation, top each cheesecake with a dollop of whipped cream and a whole Biscoff cookie for garnish. Pair with a drizzle of caramel sauce for added decadence. Serve on small dessert plates with a dusting of powdered sugar for a sophisticated touch. These mini cheesecakes are a delightful standalone treat but pair beautifully with a hot espresso or cappuccino for a European café-inspired experience.

Pairings

Beverages

• Coffee: A strong espresso or a creamy latte balances the sweetness of the cheesecake.
• Dessert Wines: A chilled glass of Moscato or late-harvest Riesling complements the caramelized flavors.

Enhancing Flavors

• Tea: Spiced chai brings out the warm, spiced notes in the Biscoff cookies.
• Cocktails: A classic espresso martini elevates the indulgence.

Storage and Reheating

Store leftover mini cheesecakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze them individually wrapped in plastic wrap and foil for up to 2 months. To enjoy from frozen, thaw in the refrigerator overnight. These cheesecakes are best served cold and do not require reheating.
