How to Make Easy Lotus Biscoff Dessert Cups
Creating these dessert cups involves just a few steps, making it an easy treat to prepare. Below, you’ll find everything you need to know to make these yummy cups.
Ingredients:
- 12 Lotus Biscoff cookies
- ½ cup of unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup of cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup of powdered sugar
- 1 cup of whipped cream or Cool Whip
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4-6 additional Biscoff cookies for garnish
- Optional: chocolate or caramel sauce for drizzling
Directions:
Prepare the Cookie Base: Start by placing the 12 Lotus Biscoff cookies into a food processor. Blend them until they become fine crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, you can place the cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
Combine with Butter: In a mixing bowl, combine the cookie crumbs with the melted unsalted butter. Mix well until all the crumbs are moistened. This will serve as the base for your dessert cups.
Set the Base: Next, take small dessert cups and evenly distribute the cookie mixture into the bottom of each cup. Press down gently to form a solid base.
Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese using an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and continue to mix until well combined.
Add Vanilla: Stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
Fold in the Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream; you want to keep it light and fluffy.
Fill the Cups: Spoon or pipe the cream cheese filling over the cookie bases in the dessert cups, filling them generously.
Chill: Cover the dessert cups with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let the flavors meld and to firm up the filling.
Garnish: Just before serving, crush a few Biscoff cookies to sprinkle on top of the dessert cups. If you like, drizzle with chocolate or caramel sauce for an extra touch of sweetness.
Serve: Serve these delightful Lotus Biscoff Dessert Cups to your guests, and watch their faces light up with joy!

How to Store Easy Lotus Biscoff Dessert Cups
If you have leftover dessert cups (though they will likely disappear quickly), you can store them in the refrigerator. Cover them with plastic wrap or transfer them to an airtight container.
