Every time I fly, I get so geeked out that humans can go into a small metal tube, be blasted into the sky above the clouds, and land all the way across the world. The concept of flying is just so crazy to me. Am I alone in this? I hope not.
Air travel has sure changed in my lifetime. I remember by dad dropping me off right at the jetway to hop my first solo flight to visit my best friend in West Palm Beach. I remember airlines used to serve meals on longer flights for everyone. I remember the days you didn't have to pay more for more legroom, more luggage, exit rows, etc. And while so many things have changed, one thing that remains constant is my love for Biscoff cookies.

- unsalted butter
- cream cheese (get full fat cream cheese)

As for equipment, you need some good bowls, a hand mixer or a stand mixer, and a springform pan.
How to Make Biscoff Cheesecake: A Step-by-Step Guide
I've taken my No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake recipe and altered the filling to include Biscoff cookie butter to not only get the caramelized goodness of Biscoff in the crust, but in the filling and in the top layer as well. Every bite will have all the notes of these cookies.
Let's dive into the steps and indulge in the decadent world of Biscoff!
Step 1: Prepare the crust
Place the cookies in a food processor and pulse until the cookies crumble. Add melted butter until it feels like sand. Pour the mixture into the springform pan, pressing it onto the bottom and about 1" up the sides of the pan. Place in the freezer for about 20 minutes to firm up.
Step 2: Prepare the filling
Whip cream cheese and granulated sugar in a stand mixer until it becomes light and fluffy (#1 in picture below). Add the sour cream and set aside (picture #2). In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form (picture #3). Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture (picture #4), being careful not to stir so you maintain a fluffy texture.
Step 3: Pour filling into crust & refrigerate
Remove the crust from the freezer and pour the mixture into it (picture #5), smoothing the top using a offset spatula for an even layer (picture #6). Please the cheesecake in the refrigerator to cool for 5-6 hours or overnight.
Step 4: Prepare top layer of cookie butter
Microwave the Biscoff cookie spread until melted. You want it to be slightly warm so it moves easily but not hot where it will melt your cheesecake. Pour the cookie butter over the cheesecake, spreading it evenly. Return the cheesecake to the refrigerator to firm up for about 30 minutes.
Step 5: Decorate, garnish, and serve!
Whip up heavy whipping cream until peaks start to form. Slowly add the powdered sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Transfer the whipped cream to a pastry bag fitted with your favorite tip, and pipe onto the cheesecake. Garnish with some Biscoff cookie crumbles, then enjoy!
Shortcuts When You're Worn Slap Out
There aren't a ton of shortcuts with this cheesecake TBH. I know...that's a rareity. Consider garnishing with just whole Biscoff cookies arranged in a circular pattern on top of the cheesecake if you don't have time to make another batch of whipped cream. This is already decently simple.
Storage Information
- To store: Leftovers should be stored in a container in the refrigerator. The leftover slices will be good for about 5 days.
- To freeze: Place the cheesecake in a container and place in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
Other Useful Tips
- With the exception of the heavy whipping cream, you'll have a smoother, creamier filling if you start with all of your ingredients at room temperature.
- You can't over beat your cream cheese and sugar. Make sure you whip a lot of air into this mixture at the very beginning. This will make your cheesecake thicker instead of flat.
Frequently Asked Questions
In 1932, Jan Boone, Sr. developed the cookie and named it Lotus, after the flower. Just as lotus flowers represent purity, the original cookies only contained natural ingredients.
Biscoff is a combination of biscuit and coffee -- meaning you better go make yourself some coffee right now and savea few cookies to be eaten, too! Hence, why some people refer to the cookie as a Lotus Biscoff cookie to represent both names.
I'm guessing you could substitute for vegan ingredients, but I have never tried it myself, so I can't guarantee it'll work.
I bought mine at our local Safeway. It's the most annoying grocery store that never seems to have anything, but they have Biscoff cookies in the cookie aisle and the cookie spread/butter near the peanut butter.
It's a crunchy cookie that has some caramel notes, along with cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. It's closer to a gingersnap than anything but with less ginger and more caramel notes.
No, the crust keeps all of the filling where it needs to be. This is not a good cheesecake to do crustless.

Biscoff Cheesecake
Ingredients
For the crust
- 1 250 gram package Biscoff cookies crushed
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
For the filling
- 24 oz. cream cheese softened to room temperature
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup Biscoff cookie butter spread
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
For the top layer
- ¾ cup Biscoff spread melted
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 Tablespoon powdered sugar
Instructions
- Place Biscoff cookies in a food processor. Pulse until cookies turn into crumbles. Add melted butter and pulse until mixture feels sandy. (You can also do this by hand by placing in a plastic bag and mashing with something heavy). Pour crumbs into an 8" or 9" springform pan and press crumbs onto the bottom and 1" up the sides of the pan. Place in freezer for about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a stand mixer with paddle attachment, mix cream cheese and sugar together until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes...you can't over mix this). Add in sour cream and Biscoff cookie spread until just combined. Place bowl aside.
- In another bowl, beat whipping cream until still peaks form. Gently fold whipping cream into cream cheese mixture with a spatula until combined (don't just fix because you want to keep it light and fluffy). Pour filling into crust and smooth out the top. Place in the refrigerator to cool for 5-6 hours or overnight.
- Once set, melt Biscoff cookie spread in the microwave and pour over the top of the cheesecake (you want spread to be melted but not hot). Place back int he refrigerator to firm up, about 30 minutes.
- With a whisk attachment, beat whipping cream until it starts to thicken. Add powdered sugar and mix until stiff peaks form. Add whipped cream to a pastry bag with a favorite tip and pipe on the cheesecake. Alternatively, you could garnish with extra Biscoff cookies.
