(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
Directions
- Prepare the crust: Finely crush the Biscoff cookies using a food processor or place them in a sealed bag and smash with a rolling pin. Once crushed, evenly press the crumbs into the base of mini silicone molds or a lined tray to form a compact crust layer.
- Make the cheesecake filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the vegan cream cheese, coconut cream, maple syrup (or agave nectar), and vanilla extract. Blend the mixture thoroughly with a hand mixer or whisk until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Assemble the bites: Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling evenly over the cookie crusts. Smooth the tops gently with a spatula. For extra texture and visual appeal, you can sprinkle some crushed Biscoff crumbs on top.
- Chill to set: Refrigerate the cheesecake bites for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow them to firm up for easy removal and serving.
- Serve and enjoy: Once set, carefully remove the bites from the molds or tray and arrange them on a serving plate. Garnish with any desired toppings, such as crushed Biscoff cookies, melted dark chocolate, or fresh berries.
