Biscoff Cheesecake (Award Winning Recipe) (1)

For those who don’t know what Biscoff is, it is a spread made of ground-up Biscoff cookies. While it isn’t the kind of spread you’d have on your toast (unless you are my family, in which case it’s like peanut butter), it’s perfect for desserts or drizzled over ice cream.

Now, this Biscoff cheesecake may look incredibly fancy, but I promise you, it is so easy to make and needs just six ingredients!

Why this recipe works

  • Pantry staple ingredients. No eggs and no dairy are needed, but you’d never tell.
  • Incredible texture and flavor. The texture of the cheesecake is ultra smooth and silky, which is almost mousse-like. The taste is sweet and full of cookie butter flavor, so you won’t stop at one slice!
  • No baking is required. This is the kind of dessert I make during both the warmer and cooler months.

Oh, and if you want to try some other cheesecakes we love, try an award-winning keto cheesecake or a magic vegan cheesecake.

Ingredients needed

This recipe needs just 6 ingredients to make, and if you’ve made any of my vegan recipes before, you probably have everything on hand! If not, you can find these at your local grocery store. Here is what you’ll need:

Biscoff cookie crust

  • Biscoff cookies (biscuits).Also known as speculoos cookies. Crushed up Biscoff cookies to make a crust similar to a graham cracker crust.I use a food processor but you can use a ziplock bag and
  • Butter OR vegan butter. Melted and unsalted. If you use vegan butter, choose ones from a block, not a spread/tub.

Filling

  • Cream cheese. Always use room temperature cream cheese for cheesecakes.
  • Superfine sugar. Also known as caster sugar. This is not the same as powdered sugar, so do not substitute this for it.
  • Lotus Biscoff spread. A must for a Biscoff cheesecake! Use the smooth variety, not the crunchy one.
  • Double cream.Also known as heavy cream or thickened cream.
  • Topping. Cookie crumbs and extra melted biscoff.

I’ve includedstep-by-step photosbelow to make this recipe easy to follow at home. For the full printable recipe instructions and ingredient quantities, scroll to therecipe cardat the bottom of this post.

Step 2- Make the filling. Next, prepare the cheesecake filling. In a large mixing bowl, add the cream cheese and superfine sugar and beat until creamy. Add the Biscoff spread and beat until smooth. Add the double cream and beat until thick and glossy.

Step 3- Assemble the cheesecake. Now, transfer the cheesecake filling into the pan and spread out in an even layer. Cover the cheesecake and chill it overnight in the fridge.

Recipe tips and variations

  • If you choose to make this vegan, use good quality vegan cream cheese and vegan butter, both of them preferably from a block. The block varieties contain less/no fillers or added liquid and yield a smoother filling.
  • Always use a sharp knife to slice the cheesecake, as it can be a little fragile.
  • For an even more intense Biscoff filling, fold through 1/2 cup crushed cookies into the cheesecake batter.
  • When preparing the cheesecake filling, ensure the mixture is stable and fluffy, otherwise, the cheesecake won’t set properly.

Storage instructions

To store: Leftovers should be stored in the fridge, covered. It will keep well for up to 2 weeks.

To freeze: Place the set no bake cheesecake in a shallow container and store it in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Frequently Asked Questions

What to serve with this cheesecake?

While delicious on its own, you can take it up a notch by adding a scoop of ice cream, some whipped cream, or a drizzle of caramel syrup.

Can I make this crustless?

No, it is not recommended to make this a crustless cheesecake. The filling is a little too soft for it to hold up itself.
