Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups Biscoff cookies (crumbled)
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
  • 16 oz cream cheese (room temperature)
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ cup Biscoff spread
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Crush the Biscoff cookies finely using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and rolling with a pin.
  2. Step 2: Combine the crushed cookies with melted butter and press the mixture firmly into the base of serving glasses or a pan. Chill for 10 minutes to set.
  3. Step 3: Beat the cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth and fluffy. Add powdered sugar and mix until fully incorporated.
  4. Step 4: Gently fold in the Biscoff spread, swirling it through the cream cheese mixture without fully blending to maintain flavor pockets.
  5. Step 5: Whip heavy cream with granulated sugar until soft peaks form. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to keep the texture light and airy.
  6. Step 6: Spread or spoon the cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled crust. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to set.
  7. Step 7: Before serving, garnish with extra Biscoff cookie crumbs or a drizzle of Biscoff spread for added texture and flavor.

Tips & Variations

  • Use room-temperature cream cheese for a smooth, lump-free filling.
  • Fold whipped cream gently to maintain a light and airy texture.
  • For a firmer cheesecake, add gelatin or agar-agar to the cream cheese mixture before folding in the whipped cream.
  • Substitute Biscoff cookies with graham crackers or digestive biscuits if desired, though the flavor profile will differ.
  • Add a tablespoon of espresso powder to the filling for a coffee-flavored twist.

Storage

Store the cheesecake covered tightly in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to maintain freshness. For longer storage, wrap individual servings in plastic wrap and foil, then freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving to preserve creaminess and avoid sogginess.

FAQs

Can I use regular cookies instead of Biscoff for the crust?

Yes, graham crackers or digestive biscuits are good substitutes but will lack the signature caramelized spice flavor of Biscoff cookies.

How do I know when the cheesecake filling is set enough?

The filling should be firm at the edges and slightly jiggly in the center but still hold its shape when scooped. If uncertain, refrigerate longer until it firms up.

Can I add coffee flavor to this cheesecake?

Absolutely. Adding a tablespoon of espresso powder to the filling enhances the flavor for coffee lovers.

Description

This No-Bake Biscoff Cheesecake offers a quick and delicious dessert that combines the rich caramelized spice flavor of Biscoff cookies and spread with a creamy, airy cheesecake filling. Perfect for hot days or when you want a fuss-free indulgence without turning on the oven.


Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 ½ cups Biscoff cookies, finely crushed
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Filling

  • 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, room temperature
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ cup Biscoff spread

Whipped Cream

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Crush 1 ½ cups of Biscoff cookies finely using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and rolling with a rolling pin. Mix the cookie crumbs with 5 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter until the mixture is evenly combined. Press this mixture firmly into the base of your serving glasses or a pan. Chill the crust in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to set and ensure firmness.
  2. Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat 16 oz of room temperature cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Add ½ cup powdered sugar and continue mixing until fully incorporated and creamy. Gently fold in ½ cup Biscoff spread, swirling it through the mixture rather than fully mixing to keep distinct pockets of flavor.
  3. Add whipped cream: Whip 1 cup of heavy cream with 1 tablespoon granulated sugar until soft peaks form. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to retain airiness and create a light, silky texture.
  4. Assemble and chill: Spoon or spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled crust. Refrigerate the assembled cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the filling to set completely and develop firm texture.
  5. Serve and garnish: Before serving, top with extra Biscoff cookie crumbs or drizzle additional Biscoff spread over the cheesecake to add texture and enhance flavor. Serve chilled and enjoy the creamy, airy dessert.

Notes

  • Use room-temperature cream cheese for smooth beating and a lump-free batter.
  • Fold whipped cream gently to avoid deflating and ensure a light texture.
  • Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours; insufficient chilling results in a loose, runny filling.
  • For a firmer cheesecake, you can incorporate gelatin or agar-agar into the cream cheese mixture before folding in whipped cream.
  • Store refrigerated, tightly covered, for up to 3 days for best flavor and texture.
  • Freeze individual servings wrapped tightly for up to 1 month; thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
