Why you'll love this recipe!
- Cookie Butter Flavor: this Biscoff cheesecake is packed with Biscoff flavor thanks to a cookie butter filling, crushed Speculoos cookie crust, and Biscoff spread topping!
- No Bake Dessert: this biscoff cheesecake is perfect to make when it's too hot to bake or you want to make a dessert ahead of time!
- Super Creamy: the Biscoff cheesecake filling is super creamy and delicious. It's very similar to my strawberry crunch cheesecake.
- Simple Ingredients: you only need 7 simple ingredients to make this no bake cheesecake, nothing fancy here!
Ingredient Needed
- Cream Cheese: Use full fat cream cheese, I always use the Philadelphia brand. If you're based in Europe and your cream cheese comes in tubs, make sure to squeeze the cream cheese with a paper towel before adding to your bowl. European cream cheese has excess moisture in it that you need to remove.
- Lotus Biscoff Spread: If you don't have Biscoff Speculoos cookie butter where you are, you can use Trader Joes Cookie Butter instead!
- Biscoff Cookies: I used Biscoff Lotus biscuits for the crust though you could use graham crackers or digestive biscuits if you prefer. I have tested this recipe with regular Biscoff cookies and Biscoff sandwich cookies. Either cookie will work!

Step by Step Instructions
Step 1 : In a blender or food processor, crush your biscoff cookies until you have fine crumbs. Pour in your melted butter and mix until the crumbs are evenly moist.
Step 2: Press the crumbs into the bottom of a 9" springform pan. Use a rubber spatula or the bottom of a measuring cup to even out the bottom. Place in the freezer for 20 minutes to firm up.
Step 3: In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or using a handheld electric mixer, whip up your heavy cream on medium-high speed until you have stiff peaks. Set aside.
Step 4: In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat your softened cream cheese until it is smooth on medium speed.
Top Tip
You want the cream cheese to be smooth, so make sure it's at room temperature before you start this recipe or it could be lumpy!
Step 5: Add in your confectioners' sugar, cookie butter, and vanilla extract. Beat again until smooth,
Step 6: Gently fold in the whipped cream. You want to be careful because you don't want to deflate the whipped cream.
Step 7: Pour the cream cheese mixture into your chilled crust. Use a small offset spatula to smooth out the top of the cheesecake batter. Cover it tightly with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 12 hours. You could do just 6 hours but you will get much cleaner slices after 12!
Step 8: The next day, melt your extra cookie butter in the microwave. Take the cheesecake out of the fridge and carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Pour the melted cookie butter on top of the cheesecake. Use a small offset spatula to smooth out the melted cookie butter, then sprinkle over Biscoff cookie crumbs.
Expert Tips & Tricks
- Kitchen Scale: I always recommend using a weighing scale and measuring out your ingredients the metric way. It makes a huge difference to your baking and is the most accurate way to bake!
- Room Temperature: I make sure that all of my ingredients are at room temperature before I start the recipe, so pull out all of the ingredients before you start baking. The only ingredient you don't want at room temperature is the heavy cream, keep that cold.
- Cream Cheese: If you're based in Europe, pat down your cream cheese with a paper towel. The cream cheese in Europe has a lot more moisture than in North America.
- Chill Cheesecake: For best results, chill your cheesecake for 12 hours. I tried slicing it at 6 hours and while it was fine, it was definitely much cleaner after 12.
- White Chocolate: You could substitute the melted cookie butter on top for melted white chocolate.
- Decorating: if you want to make this no-bake Biscoff cheesecake even more indulgent, you can pipe whipped cream all along the sides and then sprinkle more Biscoff cookie crumbs on top of the whipped cream!
- Removing it From the Pan: once you're ready to take the cheesecake out of the springform pan, use a small offset spatula all along the sides of the cheesecake. To make the sides extra clean, you can warm up the offset spatula under hot water, quickly wipe dry, and then use it to run along the edges of the cheesecake.
Frequently Asked Questions
You could use a deep dish pie plate instead, however it means you’ll have to cut the slices in the plate instead of removing the cheesecake from the pan.
I don't recommend freezing this cookie butter cheesecake as it will change the texture too much!
Keep in your fridge for up to 5 days.
First off, make sure your cheesecake has been in the fridge long enough. Then, use a large knife and clean it after each cut. I usually wipe down the knife with a paper towel after every slice.

I made this and it was DELICIOUS, the biscoff base is just so good! I used the chunky version of the biscoff spread as it was the only one stocked in my local supermarket and it worked out fine, just gave a little more texture. Will definitely be making this again!

Hi! I haven't tested it, but if you do half of all the ingredients it should just about work. Please note though, I haven't tested this!
