Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 8 oz (226 g) cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups Biscoff cookie crumbs (from about 30 cookies)
- 6 tbsps (85 g) unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated white sugar
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 6 oz (170 g) frozen whipped topping, thawed (plus more for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare Base: Pulverize Biscoff cookies into fine, uniform crumbs using a food processor, then meld with melted butter until the mixture mimics wet sand, pressing firmly into serving vessels to create a robust foundation.
- Craft Cheesecake Filling: Whip cream cheese and sugar until silky, then integrate pumpkin puree and pie spice, ensuring a harmonious blend that captures the essence of autumn’s warmth.
- Incorporate Lightness: Delicately fold whipped topping into the pumpkin mixture, maintaining an ethereal, cloud-like consistency that promises a luxurious mouthfeel.
- Layer and Assemble: Artfully construct the dessert by alternating between the crisp cookie base and velvety pumpkin cheesecake filling, creating an elegant symphony of textures and flavors.
- Chill and Set: Refrigerate the assembled cups for a minimum of 2 hours, allowing the filling to stabilize and flavors to meld into a decadent, spice-infused delight.
- Finale and Garnish: Crown each cup with a billowing cloud of whipped cream and a sprinkle of crushed Biscoff cookies, transforming the dessert into a visual and gustatory masterpiece ready to enchant.
Notes
- Crumb Consistency Matters: Ensure cookie crumbs are finely ground for a smooth, uniform base that binds perfectly with melted butter.
- Temperature Control: Keep cream cheese at room temperature to prevent lumps and achieve a silky-smooth cheesecake mixture.
- Chilling is Crucial: Refrigerate desserts for minimum 2 hours to allow flavors to meld and filling to set properly, enhancing overall taste and texture.
- Garnish Strategically: Add whipped cream and cookie crumbs just before serving to maintain crisp texture and prevent soggy toppings.
