Kitchen Gear Checklist

• Electric mixer or hand whisk: Essential for whipping the cream to soft peaks and mixing the cream cheese filling smoothly.

Stepwise Method: No-Bake Lotus Biscoff Cheesecake Dome Cups

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

Start by crushing 12 Lotus Biscoff cookies into fine crumbs. You can do this by placing them in a sealed plastic bag and crushing with a rolling pin or pulsing in a food processor. Transfer the crumbs to a bowl and mix in 4 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Divide this crust mixture evenly among your serving cups, pressing it firmly into the bottom to create a compact base layer. Set these aside while you prepare the filling.

Step 2: Whip the Cream

In a chilled mixing bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy whipping cream using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. This will add the light, airy texture that balances the richness of the cream cheese.

Step 3: Make the Cheesecake Filling

In another bowl, beat 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy. Once combined, gently fold in the whipped cream to keep the mixture light. Finally, fold in 1/4 cup of Lotus Biscoff spread to infuse the cheesecake with that unmistakable Biscoff flavor.

Step 4: Assemble the Dome Cups

Spoon the cheesecake filling over the crust layer in your cups, filling them almost to the top. Use the back of a spoon or a small spatula to smooth the surface. For a dome shape, you can slightly mound the filling in the center.

Step 5: Chill and Garnish

Place the assembled cups in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the filling to set firmly. Before serving, garnish the domes with chocolate shavings or sprinkle additional crushed Lotus Biscoff cookies on top for extra crunch and visual appeal.

Health-Conscious Tweaks

• Use reduced-fat cream cheese and heavy cream alternatives to lower fat content without sacrificing texture.
• Swap powdered sugar for a natural sweetener like powdered erythritol or coconut sugar for a lower glycemic index.
• Incorporate Greek yogurt into the filling for added protein and a tangy depth.
• Choose organic or naturally sourced Lotus Biscoff cookies and spread to avoid additives.

Problems & Prevention

One common issue with no-bake cheesecakes is a filling that doesn’t set properly. To prevent this, ensure your cream cheese is fully softened before mixing, and whip the heavy cream to soft peaks only—not too stiff. Over-whipping can cause the filling to break down.

If the crust is too crumbly and doesn’t hold together, add a touch more melted butter to bind the crumbs better. Press the crust firmly into the cups to create a stable base.

For best results, keep the cheesecake cups refrigerated until serving. Leaving them out too long can cause the filling to soften excessively.

Prep Ahead & Store

These No-Bake Lotus Biscoff Cheesecake Dome Cups are fantastic for prepping ahead. Assemble the crust and filling, then refrigerate overnight to let the flavors meld and the texture set perfectly. Store them covered with plastic wrap or in airtight containers for up to 3 days.

If you want to prepare even earlier, you can freeze the dome cups for up to a month. Just thaw them in the refrigerator for several hours before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these cheesecake dome cups without heavy cream?

Yes! You can substitute heavy whipping cream with coconut cream for a dairy-free alternative. Just chill a can of full-fat coconut milk, scoop out the thick cream, and whip it as you would heavy cream. This adds a subtle coconut flavor that pairs nicely with the Biscoff.

How do I get the dome shape perfect every time?

The dome shape comes from slightly mounding the cheesecake filling in each cup. Use a spoon to pile the filling a bit higher in the center, then gently smooth the edges to form a rounded top. Chilling helps the dome hold its shape firmly.

Can I use regular peanut butter instead of Lotus Biscoff spread?

While peanut butter can work as a substitute, it will alter the flavor significantly. Lotus Biscoff spread has a unique caramelized, spiced taste that’s central to this recipe. If you don’t have Biscoff spread, consider using cookie butter or a similar spiced cookie spread instead.

What can I serve alongside these cheesecake dome cups?

These cups pair wonderfully with fresh berries, a drizzle of caramel sauce, or a light fruit compote. For more dessert inspiration, check out Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Bar Cookies or Pink Strawberry Cheesecake Crumble Cookies for complementary flavors and textures.
