Ingredients

  • 2 cups Biscoff cookie crumbs (from about 30 cookies)
  • 6 Tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree NOT pumpkin pie mix
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 6 ounces frozen whipped topping thawed (plus more for topping)

Instructions

  • In a small mixing bowl, combine the Biscoff cookie crumbs and melted butter. Mix until combined. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice, and mix until completely combined. Fold in the thawed whipped topping.
  • Transfer the cheesecake mixture to a piping bag to make it easier to add to the cups, if desired. This is optional, but makes filling the cups easier and cleaner!
  • Assemble the the cups by adding a layer of cookie crumbs, a layer of pumpkin cheesecake, and repeating with another layer of cookie crumbs and pumpkin cheesecake. Refrigerate until ready to serve (the cheesecake will thicken while it refrigerates.)
  • If desired, you can top with additional whipped cream and leftover cookie crumbs before serving.

Notes

  • Toppings: I like to top my pumpkin pie in a cup parfaits with whipped cream (I added some whipped topping to a piping bag for the ones in the photos) and a sprinkle of the biscoff cookie crumbs. You could also use fall colored sprinkles, candy corn, or crushed nuts like pecans or walnuts to decorate them.
  • What kind of cups to use: Feel free to use small glass cups, 1/2 pint mason jars, or plastic 9 oz cups to serve your pumpkin pie in a cup parfaits. You can also dress them up by using wine glasses or champagne flutes.
  • Make it into a trifle: You can also layer the pumpkin spiced cheesecake filling and cookie crumbs in a large trifle bowl instead of making it into individual cups.
  • Prepare up to 1 day in advance. These can be made up to one day in advance and stored in the refrigerator. I don’t recommend making them any sooner than that as the cookie layers can soften up too much and get soggy. Also, don’t add the toppings until right before you are ready to serve for this same reason.
  • Storing leftovers. Any leftovers can be stored in the fridge covered with plastic wrap. As I mentioned, the cookie layers will soften over time.
