Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by placing the Biscoff cookies in a food processor and pulsing until you achieve fine crumbs.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the crushed cookies with butter. This mixture creates a delightful crust.
  3. Using a spoon or your fingers, take a small amount of the cookie crumb mixture and press it gently into the bottom of each cup to form a solid crust.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it becomes smooth and creamy.
  5. Gradually add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the cream cheese, beating until fully combined.
  6. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  7. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
  8. Add the Biscoff spread and brown sugar to the mixture, stirring until smooth.
  9. Spoon the cheesecake filling generously over the crust in each cup.
  10. Cover the cups with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or overnight if possible.
  11. Just before serving, crush extra Biscoff cookies and sprinkle them over the tops of each cup.

Notes

Ensure your cream cheese is well-softened to avoid lumps. For enhanced flavors, chilling overnight is recommended. Feel free to experiment with different toppings!
