Instructions
- Create a delectable base by thoroughly combining crushed cookies with melted butter, ensuring an even, compact layer at the bottom of each individual serving cup.
- Whisk cream cheese, cookie butter, and powdered sugar until achieving a velvety, homogeneous texture that is free of lumps.
- Separately whip heavy cream to soft, billowy peaks, then gently incorporate into the cream cheese mixture, maintaining its light and airy consistency.
- Construct layers by carefully spreading the cookie crust as the foundation, followed by a generous portion of the creamy cheesecake filling.
- Enhance the dessert with a delicate drizzle of caramel sauce, creating elegant swirls across the surface.
- Repeat layering process to build visual and flavor complexity within each cup.
- Crown the mini cheesecakes with a dollop of freshly whipped cream, sprinkle of cookie crumbs, and a whole Biscoff cookie as an elegant garnish.

Notes
- Customize the crust by substituting different cookie types like graham crackers or chocolate cookies for varied flavor profiles.
- Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature to achieve a smoother, lump-free filling with perfect consistency.
- For a lighter version, use low-fat cream cheese and replace some heavy cream with Greek yogurt to reduce overall calories.
- Create gluten-free options by using gluten-free cookie crumbs and checking all ingredient labels carefully.
