⭐️ A delicious easy-to-make dessert for a party or crowd.
⭐️ Very low effort.
⭐️ Reasonably affordable.

SO… here is my Biscoff Cheesecake, which ticks all of those boxes and more!

About Biscoff Cheesecake

Biscoff cookies are delicate, small-crumb delights that were created in 1932 and continue to be made in Belgium by a family business to this day.Meanwhile the spread with the same flavour has taken the internet by storm.

When testing this recipe, we decided to use Lotus Biscoff spread to not only sweeten it (so no need for more sugar), but also decorate it. This means fewer ingredients and processes = WIN!

After a few trials, we also refined the ingredients list to use one full jar of Biscoff so there’s also no waste. Hurrah for 5 ingredient recipes!

This cheesecake is also slightly shallower than some of my other ones (to keep it affordable), but still has the perfect ratio of biscuit base vs cream filling vs topping.

Biscoff Cheesecake Ingredients

For the base:

• Biscoff biscuits – We’re going to crush these up
• Unsalted butter – Melt this quickly in a mug in the microwave

For the cheesecake filling:

• Double cream – See tips below on the required whipping consistency
• Full fat cream cheese – I like to use Philadelphia brand cream cheese for this recipe. You can use other brands, but I find they are SLIGHTLY more difficult to combine.
• Biscoff spread – OBVIOUSLY!

For the topping:

• Biscoff spread – This will be very slightly melted
• Biscoff biscuits – Again, to be crushed

How to make Biscoff Cheesecake

1. Mix together the crushed biscuits and melted butter.

2. Press the mixture into a tin and pop into the fridge to chill.

3. Whisk the cream cheese, double cream and Biscoff spread together until very thick.

4. Add the mixture to the base that’s been in the fridge. Refrigerate as per the recipe below.

5. When almost ready to serve, melt the Lotus Biscoff spread gently in a pan or microwave. While still warm, pour over the cheesecake while in the tin. Smooth evenly.

6. Crumble remaining biscuit over and pop back into the fridge as per the recipe below.

Hint: Whip the cream straight from the fridge (this helps to keep it stable) and whip enough so it holds its shape (to the texture of ice cream).

Storing the cheesecake

Chilling the biscuit base while you’re making the cheesecake filling will allow it to set and firm up a bit, making it a bit less crumbly when you add the topping.

You can store the cheesecake in the fridge (without the topping) for a MINIMUM of 4 hours and up to 3 days from preparation. The results will be much better if it’s had time to chill overnight.

Leave it in the tin in the fridge and cover with a dinner plate of cling film (but make sure it doesn’t touch the surface of your beautiful cheesecake!)

Can cheesecake be frozen?
You can also put the undecorated cheesecake in the freezer in the tin if you want to make it further in advance. Just make sure you defrost it properly in the fridge (again, in the tin) for 24 hours or until completely thawed, then decorate.

Top tips for making Biscoff Cheesecake

Whipping the cream

Make sure you whip the cream straight from the fridge as room temperature cream doesn’t whip as well. Be sure to whip it enough so that it holds its shape – more like the texture of ice cream. HOWEVER, don’t over-whip it or it can split! (Use an electric whisk if you have one.)

Removing the no bake cheesecake from the tin

Use a tin with either a springform (unclippable sides) or removable base (I like these Masterclass 7″ Removable Base tins that I’ve had for years). Warm a regular dinner knife under a hot tap and then dry it. Use this to run around the outside of the cake, inside the tin, before removing it. Remove the knife and wipe as you work your way around the cake.

If you have a removable base, sit the tin on a tall glass and carefully press down so the sides of the tin can slip down lower than the cheesecake and you can easily remove it.

Melting your Biscoff spread

Melt this very gently in the pan so it loosens up. Don’t let it get too hot but warm enough to pour over the top of the cheesecake until it’s covered all over.
