Ingredients for 18 Cheesecake Jars

8.8 ounces Biscoff cookies (about 25 cookies)
6 Tablespoons melted butter
24 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
1½ cups cookie butter
4.4 ounces Biscoff cookies (about 16 cookies), crushed
1½ cups heavy cream, cold

Assembling the Cheesecake Cups

Soften 24 ounces cream cheese to room temperature.
Crush 8.8 ounces Biscoff cookies into fine crumbs using a blender, food processor, or a zip-top bag and rolling pin.
Mix cookie crumbs with 6 tablespoons melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Spoon about 1½ tablespoons of the crumb mixture into the bottom of each 6-ounce jar and press gently to form an even crust.
If the crust feels oily, chill the jars for a few minutes before adding the filling.
Beat the softened cream cheese in a mixer until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
Slowly pour the 14-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk into the cream cheese in batches, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in 1½ cups cookie butter until the filling is smooth and evenly colored.
Optional: fold in the crushed 4.4 ounces of Biscoff cookies for extra crunch.
With the mixer on medium-low, slowly drizzle in 1½ cups cold heavy cream, then increase speed to high and whip until the filling is light, fluffy, and holds soft peaks.
If you don’t have a stand mixer, whip the cold heavy cream to soft peaks separately and gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture.
Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling evenly over the cookie crust in each jar, leaving a little space at the top.
Refrigerate the filled jars for at least 1 to 2 hours to let the filling set.

Pro Tips for Texture and Serving

Make sure your cream cheese is softened to room temperature; this helps it blend silky smooth without lumps.
Keep your heavy cream cold until you’re ready to whip it—that’s the secret to the fluffiest texture.
If you don’t have a stand mixer, whip the cream separately to soft peaks and gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture for a light, airy filling.
Be careful not to overmix after adding the cream, or you risk losing the fluffiness and ending up with a denser filling.
If you want a polished look, try piping the filling into jars instead of spooning it.
Press the crust firmly enough to hold together but not so much that it gets greasy. You can chill the crust in the jars for a few minutes if it feels oily before adding the filling.
If you prefer fewer cookie chunks, crush the extra cookies more finely or skip adding them into the filling.
When transporting, keep the jars upright in a cooler or flat box with ice packs so they stay chilled and don’t spill.

Serve these jars as individual desserts at dinner parties, potlucks, or holiday gatherings. Their individual portions make serving a breeze.
Add a half cookie or a dollop of warmed cookie butter on top for a pretty finishing touch.
Pair with fresh berries or a sprinkle of sea salt to balance the sweetness.
Bring them to picnics or outdoor events—just keep them chilled in a cooler until ready to eat.

Storage, Make-Ahead, and Thawing

Keep your cheesecake jars covered and refrigerated for up to 2 days—they stay super fresh and creamy this way.
Freezing isn’t the best option since the whipped cream might change texture, but if you need to freeze, cover tightly and freeze up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the fridge and consider rewhipping a bit of fresh cream and folding it in to refresh the filling.
You can make the cheesecake filling ahead of time and keep it in a bowl, then fill the jars 24 to 48 hours before serving. Hold off on delicate toppings until just before you serve.
If you’re bringing these jars somewhere, pack them upright in a cooler or insulated bag with ice packs to keep them chilled and safe during transport.

Keep these no bake Biscoff cheesecake jars stored in the fridge with lids on—they stay creamy and fresh for about 1 to 2 days. For best taste and texture, enjoy them within that time frame. If you need to freeze, wrap tightly to prevent freezer burn, but know the whipped cream may lose some fluffiness. Thaw slowly in the fridge overnight, and consider whipping up a little fresh cream to fold in before serving to perk it back up.

This no bake Biscoff cheesecake recipe is a dream for busy days since you can prep everything ahead. Make the crust and filling separately or all the way through, then fill the jars 1 to 2 days before your event. Keep them chilled and add any delicate toppings, like cookie halves or drizzled cookie butter, right before serving to keep them looking their best.
