Ingredients
Creating these mini cheesecakes requires a few simple ingredients that come together to form a masterpiece. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 1/2 cups Biscoff cookie crumbs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce, plus extra for drizzling
If you’re feeling adventurous, you can substitute gingersnap cookies for the Biscoff, adding a different spice profile. And if caramel isn’t your thing, a dash of chocolate sauce can provide a delightful alternative.
Instructions
Follow these steps to bring these delightful mini cheesecakes to life:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a small bowl, combine the Biscoff cookie crumbs and melted butter. Press about a tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each lined muffin cup.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add in the sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Stir in the sour cream and heavy cream until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the Biscoff crusts, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
- Spoon a teaspoon of caramel sauce onto each cheesecake and use a toothpick to swirl it into the batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the centers are set and slightly jiggly.
- Allow the cheesecakes to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, drizzle additional caramel sauce over the top for an extra touch of sweetness.
Remember to let them chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours before serving. This step is crucial for setting the flavors and ensuring the creamy texture we all love.
