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 mixed through ice cream.
My favorite way to use it, though, is in my famous (and award-winning!) biscoff cheesecake recipe. This may look fancy, but it’s so easy to make.

Why I love this recipe
- Pantry staple ingredients. No eggs are needed, but you’d never tell.
- Incredible texture and flavor. The cheesecake is ultra smooth and silky, which is almost mousse-like. It’s 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.
- 6 ingredients. Seriously, count them yourself.
★★★★★ REVIEW
“This was sensational.” – Ally
Ingredients needed
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 a rolling pin.
- 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 as it yields a creamier and richer texture. Also, you must use full fat cream cheese or else there is no real stability (and it won’t taste as rich!).
- Superfine sugar. Also known as caster sugar. If you can’t find this at your grocery store, just blend white sugar for a few seconds until it’s broken down.
- Biscoff cookie butter. Lotus Biscoff spread. You can use any kind, provided it is smooth, not crunchy!
- Heavy cream. Also known as double cream or thickened cream. Avoid heavy whipping cream as it’s a little too airy to provide structure to the cheesecake.
- Topping. Biscoff cookie crumbs and extra melted biscoff, to garnih.
How to make a Biscoff cheesecake
I’ve included step-by-step photos below to make this recipe easy to follow at home. For the full printable recipe instructions and ingredient quantities, scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of this post.
Step 1- Make the crust. In a mixing bowl, combine your crushed cookies with the melted butter and mix until combined. Transfer the cookie base to an 8-inch spring-form cake pan and refrigerate.
Step 2- Make the 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. Transfer the cheesecake filling into the pan and spread out in an even layer. Cover the cheesecake and chill it overnight in the fridge.
Step 4- Decorate. Microwave the extra Biscoff and spread it over the top of the firm cheesecake. Sprinkle extra crushed cookies and refrigerate for another hour to firm up.
Recipe tips and variations
- Always use a sharp knife to slice the cheesecake, as it can be a little fragile.
- Use room-temperature dairy so that the mixture is void of any lumps throughout.
- To make it vegan, use vegan cream cheese and vegan double cream.
- For an even more intense Biscoff flavor, fold through 1/2 cup crushed cookies into the cheesecake batter.
Storage instructions
To store: Leftovers should be stored in the fridge in an airtight container. It will keep well for up to 2 weeks.
To freeze: Place the set cheesecake in a shallow container and store it in the freezer for up to 6 months.
Frequently Asked Questions
No, I don’t recommend making this without a crust. The filling is a little too soft to hold up by itself.

There is no other way to describe this recipe other than PERFECTION. This is my second time making it, and this recipe has been not only one of the quickest and easiest prep desserts, but it has been genuinely one of the BEST I’ve ever made! Perfect consistency, rich, and has been so resoundingly complimented from everyone who has tried it. I prepared and piped a simple vanilla whipped cream with the extra heavy whipping cream to the top prior to adding the biscoff crumbs and think it really leveled the entire recipe up! Flawless, amazing, truly phenomenal. Cannot recommend this recipe enough and fully plan on gatekeeping it from everyone – it is that good!
Katie- this comment means the world to me- This is one of my favorite dessert stories, because it took SO much testing to get it just right because I wanted it to be both easy and delicious. I love that you pipped some vanilla cream around the edges- vanilla works so well with Biscoff. Thank you so much!
Quick & easy
And the taste is supurb
What size spring pan should I use if recipe is 2X?
Hi Dawn- I did this over Christmas, and found 13 x 9-inch pan to work beautifully.
Wow what a hit ! Delicious and unique I couldn’t stop eating it my family still talks about it to this day I’m making it again for Christmas and moving forward this will be my go to dish when I’m invited to get togethers / parties !
Aw, thank you so much, Tayler- that means the world!
All stores in my area are out of smooth biscoff spread – but I realllly want to make this. I was able to get my hands on crunchy. Wi it be ok?
I have been faced with this exact same dilemma! It will technically still work, but you won’t get the smooth creaminess you would normally get in the cheesecake filling as the crunchy spread contains little pieces of Biscoff. It definitely comes down to a personal preference. Hope this helps!
Made two of these for Thanksgiving and they were such a big hit and SO simple to make that I’m making another one for Christmas! Creamy cheesecake filling + the cookie crust + the cookie butter topping…. Muwah…. Chef’s kiss!
Thank you so much, Alison- we really appreciate that!
