Tips & Variations

• For a gluten-free version, substitute regular Biscoff cookies with gluten-free cookies for the crust.
• Make these cheesecakes a day ahead to allow flavors to meld and save time.
• Use room temperature cream cheese to ensure a smooth filling without lumps.
• Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the crust for extra warmth in flavor.

Storage

Store leftover mini Biscoff cheesecakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat slightly, let them sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving, but they are best enjoyed chilled.

FAQs

Can I use regular peanut butter instead of Biscoff spread?

Biscoff spread has a unique caramelized flavor that complements the cookies, so substituting with peanut butter will change the taste significantly. However, if you prefer peanut butter, you can try it but expect a different flavor profile.

Do I need to use cupcake liners in the muffin tin?

Using cupcake liners makes it easier to remove the mini cheesecakes and keeps them neat. If you don’t have liners, you can grease the muffin tin well, but removal might be trickier.
