Directions

1. Prepare the Cookie Dough

• Start by preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C).
• In a food processor, crush the 200 g of Biscoff cookies until finely ground.
• Melt the butter and combine it with the crushed cookies until the mixture forms a sandy texture.
• Press the mixture into the base of a mini muffin tin or small cupcake liners, pressing down firmly to form a crust. Bake for about 10 minutes until golden brown and slightly firm. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.

2. Make the Raspberry Mixture

• In a small saucepan, combine the raspberries and granulated sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries have broken down and the sugar has dissolved (about 5-7 minutes).
• Once the mixture has thickened slightly, remove from heat and let it cool completely. Set aside.

3. Prepare the Cheesecake Batter

• In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and crème fraîche until smooth and creamy.
• Add the granulated sugar and vanilla sugar, and continue mixing until fully combined.
• Gradually mix in the cornstarch, followed by the eggs, one at a time, until the batter is smooth and fluffy.

4. Assemble the Cheesecake Bites

• Spoon a small amount of the cheesecake batter over the cooled cookie crust in the muffin tin, filling about two-thirds of each cup.
• Add a small spoonful of the raspberry mixture on top of the cheesecake batter, and then swirl it lightly with a toothpick or skewer.
• Crush the remaining 50 g of Biscoff cookies and sprinkle them over the top of each cheesecake bite.
• Bake the cheesecake bites in the preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly.
• Let the cheesecake bites cool in the tin, then transfer them to the fridge to chill for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight.

5. Coat the Cheesecake Bites

• Once the cheesecake bites are fully chilled, melt the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in the microwave.
• Dip each cheesecake bite into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it is completely coated. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet to set the chocolate.

6. Garnish and Serve

• Once the white chocolate coating has set, drizzle a little extra melted white chocolate over the top of each cheesecake bite for decoration.
• Garnish with dried raspberries for a pop of color and added texture.
• Serve and enjoy these deliciously indulgent Biscoff Cheesecake Bites!

Servings and Timing

• Servings: 12-16 bites
• Total Time: 4-5 hours (including chilling time)

Variations

1. Berry Mixture: Use other berries like blueberries or strawberries for a different fruity twist.
2. Chocolate Coating: For a chocolate version, dip the bites in dark or milk chocolate instead of white chocolate for a richer flavor.
3. Gluten-Free: Substitute the Biscoff cookies with gluten-free cookies or use a gluten-free cookie crust option for a gluten-free version.
4. Add Nuts: For added crunch, sprinkle chopped pistachios, almonds, or hazelnuts over the cheesecake bites before the final chocolate coating.

Storage/Reheating

• Storage: These cheesecake bites can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
• Freezing: You can freeze these bites for up to 1 month. To freeze, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, then transfer to an airtight container or freezer bag. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.

FAQs

Can I make these cheesecake bites ahead of time?

Yes, these cheesecake bites can be made up to a day in advance, as they need time to chill and set. Just be sure to keep them in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve.

Can I substitute the raspberries with another fruit?

Absolutely! You can use any fruit you like, such as strawberries, blueberries, or blackberries. Just cook the fruit and sugar mixture until it thickens before adding it to the cheesecake batter.

Can I use regular cream cheese instead of crème fraîche?

Yes, you can use only cream cheese if you prefer. Crème fraîche adds a slight tangy flavor, but it can be omitted without significantly altering the texture or taste.

How do I know when the cheesecake bites are done?

The cheesecake bites are done when the edges are firm and set, but the center still has a slight wobble. They will continue to set as they cool.

Can I use other types of cookies for the crust?

Yes! You can use graham crackers, Oreos, or any other cookie of your choice as a base for the crust.

Do I need to bake the cheesecake bites in a muffin tin?

While using a muffin tin helps create individual bites, you can also bake them in a regular baking pan and cut them into squares after they’ve chilled and set.

Conclusion

Biscoff Cheesecake Bites are an indulgent and flavorful dessert that combine the richness of cheesecake with the spiced sweetness of Biscoff cookies and a tangy raspberry twist. With their creamy texture, crunchy cookie crust, and decadent white chocolate coating, they are the perfect treat for any occasion. Make them ahead of time, and enjoy these delightful bites whenever the mood strikes!
