Ingredients

  • Speculoos Cookies
  • Melted Unsalted Butter
  • Full-Fat Cream Cheese
  • Cookie Butter
  • Powdered Sugar (Confectioners' Sugar)
  • Vanilla Extract
  • Heavy Cream
  • More Cookie Butter (for topping)
  • Whipped Cream (for topping)
  • Extra Speculoos Crumbs (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prepare the Cookie Crust
  2. 1. First, line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper or foil liners.
  3. 2. In a food processor, pulse the speculoos cookies until they form fine crumbs.
  4. 3. Transfer the cookie crumbs to a medium bowl. Pour in the melted unsalted butter and stir with a fork until all the crumbs are moistened and evenly coated.
  5. 4. Distribute the buttery crumbs evenly among the 12 prepared muffin liners, about 1-2 tablespoons per cup.
  6. 5. Using the back of a spoon, or a small tart tamper, firmly press the crumbs into an even layer at the bottom of each liner.
  7. 6. Place the muffin pan in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling to allow the crust to firm up.
  8. Step 2: Make the Creamy Cookie Butter Cheesecake Filling
  9. 1. In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the softened full-fat cream cheese on medium speed until it’s completely smooth and creamy.
  10. 2. Add the cookie butter and powdered sugar to the cream cheese. Continue beating on medium speed until the mixture is well combined, smooth, and fluffy.
  11. 3. Stir in the vanilla extract until just combined.
  12. 4. In a separate, clean, cold bowl, whip the very cold heavy cream on high speed until stiff peaks form.
  13. 5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese and cookie butter mixture using a spatula until just combined.
  14. Step 3: Assemble and Chill
  15. 1. Retrieve your muffin pan with the chilled crusts from the refrigerator.
  16. 2. Evenly spoon the cookie butter cheesecake filling over the prepared crusts in each liner.
  17. 3. Gently tap the muffin pan on the counter a few times to release any air bubbles.
  18. 4. Cover the muffin pan loosely with plastic wrap.
  19. 5. Refrigerate the cheesecake cups for a minimum of 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  20. Step 4: Garnish and Serve
  21. 1. Once the cheesecake cups are thoroughly chilled and set, carefully remove them from the muffin pan.
  22. 2. Gently peel off the paper or foil liners.
  23. 3. If desired, warm a little extra cookie butter in the microwave and drizzle it over the top of each cheesecake cup.
  24. 4. Pipe a swirl of whipped cream on top, or sprinkle with additional crushed speculoos cookies.
  25. 5. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Cookie Butter Cheesecake Cups!

Nutrition

Keywords: Ensure your cream cheese and cookie butter are at room temperature for a smooth filling. Don't overmix the cheesecake filling to maintain its density, and remember to chill the cups for at least 4 hours for the best results.
