FAQs
Can I make these cheesecake cups ahead of time?
Yes, these are perfect for making a day ahead. Chill until ready to serve.
Can I use a different cookie for the crust?
You can use graham crackers or digestive biscuits, though the unique flavor of Biscoff will be missing.
Can I freeze the cheesecake cups?
While possible, freezing may affect the texture. It’s best to enjoy them fresh from the refrigerator.
What can I use instead of Biscoff spread?
Peanut butter or Nutella can be used for a different flavor profile, but it will change the taste.
Can I make this without whipped cream?
The whipped cream gives the cheesecake a light texture. Without it, the filling will be denser.
Is it possible to use light cream cheese?
Yes, but the texture may be slightly less creamy. Avoid fat-free varieties for best results.
Do I have to use glasses?
No, you can also layer the dessert in small bowls, ramekins, or jars.
How long should I chill the cups?
At least 1 hour is recommended, but overnight chilling enhances the flavor and firmness.
Can I double the recipe?
Yes, simply double all the ingredients to make 8 servings instead of 4.
Is it safe to eat unbaked cheesecake?
Yes, since this recipe contains no raw eggs and is kept refrigerated, it is safe to eat without baking.
