Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Make the Biscoff Crust

  1. Place the Biscoff cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely ground.
  2. Stream in the melted butter and pulse again until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  3. Spray two mini cheesecake pans (or two 12-count muffin pans with liners) with non-stick spray.
  4. Press approximately 1 tablespoon of the cookie mixture into each cavity to form the crust.
  5. Refrigerate or freeze the crusts while you prepare the filling.

2. Whip the Heavy Cream

  1. In a chilled mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment to beat the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  2. Be careful not to overbeat, as this can turn the cream grainy.
  3. Place the whipped cream in the refrigerator while you prepare the rest of the filling.

3. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

  1. In a medium-large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, Biscoff cookie butter, sour cream, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and fully combined.
  2. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until no white streaks remain.

4. Assemble the Mini Cheesecakes

  1. Transfer the cheesecake filling to a piping bag fitted with a round 1A tip (or use a spoon).
  2. Pipe or spoon the filling onto the chilled crusts, smoothing the tops with a spatula or the back of a spoon.

5. Chill to Set

  1. Cover the mini cheesecakes loosely and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight. This allows the filling to set properly.

6. Add the Caramel Swirl

  1. Microwave the Biscoff cookie butter for about 20-30 seconds, or until it’s warm and pourable.
  2. Drizzle the melted cookie butter over the tops of the cheesecakes, letting it drip down the sides if desired.
  3. Return the cheesecakes to the fridge for an additional 15-20 minutes to set the topping.

7. Garnish and Serve

  1. Just before serving, add your favorite toppings:
    • A dollop of whipped cream.
    • Crushed or whole Biscoff cookies.
    • A sprinkle of cookie crumbs for texture.
  2. Serve chilled and enjoy every creamy, caramel-swirled bite!

Tips for Perfect Mini Biscoff Cheesecakes

  • Use Full-Fat Ingredients: Full-fat cream cheese and sour cream yield the creamiest texture.
  • Chill the Whipping Bowl: A chilled bowl and whisk attachment make whipping cream faster and more effective.
  • Be Gentle with Whipped Cream: Folding the whipped cream into the filling gently ensures a light, airy texture.
  • Plan Ahead: These cheesecakes need time to chill, so prepare them a day in advance for the best results.

Description

This Sweet and Tangy Lemon Blueberry Boyfriend Bait Dessert combines the zing of fresh lemon with the sweetness of juicy blueberries in a moist, buttery cake. Topped with a luscious lemon glaze, it’s perfect for brunch, dessert, or as a heartwarming treat for someone special.


Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1½ cups granulated sugar
  • ⅔ cup butter, softened
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs, separated
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 3 cups fresh or thawed blueberries (coated lightly in flour)

For the Lemon Glaze:

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9″ x 13″ baking pan and set aside.
  • Prepare the Blueberries:
    If using frozen blueberries, thaw and drain them well. Coat all blueberries in a light dusting of flour to prevent them from sinking into the batter.
  • Mix the Base Mixture:
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, and softened butter. Use an electric mixer to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Reserve ¾ cup of this mixture for the topping.
  • Create the Batter:
    Add the salt, baking powder, milk, vanilla extract, egg yolks, and lemon zest to the remaining crumb mixture. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  • Beat the Egg Whites:
    In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter to create a light and airy texture.
  • Assemble the Cake:
    Pour the batter evenly into the greased baking pan. Scatter the blueberries evenly over the top, followed by the reserved crumb mixture.
  • Bake the Dessert:
    Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
  • Prepare the Lemon Glaze:
    While the cake bakes, whisk together the lemon juice and confectioners’ sugar until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more sugar or lemon juice if needed.
  • Drizzle the Glaze:
    Once the cake is out of the oven and slightly cooled, drizzle the glaze evenly over the top.
  • Serve and Enjoy:
    Slice the cake and serve warm or at room temperature. Pair with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
