Ingredients for Biscoff Cheesecake
Gather these simple ingredients – I promise every single one plays a starring role in creating that perfect Biscoff magic. (Pro tip: Sneak an extra packet of biscuits…you’ll want to snack while you bake!)
For the base:
- 1 ⅓ cups Biscoff biscuits, crushed into fine crumbs (about 16 biscuits)
- ¼ tsp salt – just a pinch to balance the sweetness
- ⅓ cup butter, melted (use the real stuff, trust me)
For the dreamy filling:
- 1 cup heavy cream, chilled (cold cream whips better!)
- 2 ⅓ cups cream cheese, softened (leave it out for 30 minutes first)
- ⅓ cup caster sugar (superfine dissolves like a dream)
- 1 tsp vanilla essence (the good stuff makes all the difference)
- 1 cup smooth Biscoff spread (plus extra for drizzling – no judgment)
For that showstopper finish:
- Extra whipped cream for piping
- Handful of Biscoff biscuit crumbs
- More Biscoff spread, warmed slightly for drizzling
Equipment You’ll Need
Don’t worry – you won’t need any fancy gadgets for this beauty! Here’s what I always grab from my kitchen:
- 22cm springform tin (the sides pop off – lifesaver for clean slices!)
- Food processor (or a zip-top bag and rolling pin if you need to vent some stress)
- Stand mixer or electric beaters (you could whisk by hand…but your arms will hate me)
- Spatula (for scraping every last bit of that glorious filling)
- Measuring cups/spoons (eyeballing works…until it doesn’t)
That’s it! Now let’s make some magic.
How to Make Biscoff Cheesecake
Okay, let’s dive into the fun part! This no-bake beauty comes together in just a few simple steps – but I’ll walk you through each one so your cheesecake turns out perfect. The secret? Patience (I know, I struggle with this too!) and gentle folding to keep that airy texture.
Step 1: Prepare the Base
First, let’s tackle that irresistible crunchy base. Blitz your Biscoff biscuits in the food processor until they’re fine crumbs – you want them almost powdery, with just a bit of texture. Mix in the salt, then drizzle in that melted butter while pulsing until it looks like wet sand. Press it firmly into your lined tin (I use the bottom of a glass to get it nice and even). Pop it in the fridge to set while we work on the good stuff!
Step 2: Make the Filling
Now for the magic! Whip your cold cream until stiff peaks form – but stop just before it looks grainy. In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar and vanilla for a good 5 minutes until super fluffy (scrape down the sides often!). Then add the Biscoff spread and beat just until combined. Pro tip: If your spread is thick, microwave it for 10 seconds first to make mixing easier.
Step 3: Assemble and Chill
Here’s where gentle hands matter. Fold half the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until nearly combined, then add the rest. Don’t overmix – we want to keep all that airiness! Pour it over your chilled base, smooth the top, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours (overnight is even better). I know it’s hard to wait, but trust me – it’s worth it!
Step 4: Decorate
The grand finale! Run a knife around the edge before releasing the springform. Warm some extra Biscoff spread briefly (15-second bursts!) until runny, then drizzle artfully over the top. Add piped cream swirls and sprinkle with crushed biscuits for that bakery-worthy finish. Now try not to eat the whole thing at once!
Tips for the Perfect Biscoff Cheesecake
After making this cheesecake more times than I can count, here are my golden rules:
- Chill that base! 20 minutes in the fridge keeps crumbs from mixing into your filling.
- Cream cheese must be room temp – cold lumps are the enemy of smooth filling.
- Fold gently like you’re handling clouds – overmixing deflates all that airy goodness.
- Slice with a hot knife (dip in boiling water, then dry) for those Instagram-perfect clean cuts.
Variations and Serving Ideas
Don’t be afraid to play with this recipe! For a next-level twist, swap the Biscoff drizzle for salted caramel or melted chocolate. I love serving slices with strong coffee—the bitterness balances the sweetness perfectly. Feeling fancy? Top with crushed pistachios or a dusting of cocoa for extra wow factor.
Storage and Reheating
This beauty keeps like a dream in the fridge for up to 3 days (if it lasts that long!). No reheating needed – just grab a fork straight from the fridge. Pro tip: Cover slices with plastic wrap pressed right against the surface to prevent drying out.

Questions About Biscoff Cheesecake
Got questions? I’ve got answers! Here are the ones I get asked most:
Can I freeze Biscoff cheesecake?
Absolutely! Wrap slices tightly in plastic wrap, then foil, and freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the fridge – the texture stays perfect.
My filling seems runny – what went wrong?
Either the cream wasn’t whipped enough, or it didn’t chill long enough. Pop it back in the fridge for another hour or two – patience fixes most cheesecake woes!
Can I use crunchy Biscoff spread instead?
You can, but the smooth version blends better for that velvety texture. If you love crunch, just sprinkle extra biscuit bits on top instead!

Description
A creamy Biscoff cheesecake with a crunchy biscuit base, topped with whipped cream and extra Biscoff spread.
Ingredients
- Base
- 1 ⅓ cups Biscoff biscuits
- ¼ tsp salt
- ⅓ cup butter, melted
- Filling
- 1 cup cream
- 2 ⅓ cups cream cheese
- ⅓ cup caster sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 1 cup Biscoff spread
- Optional Decoration
- Whipped cream
- Extra Biscoff biscuit crumbs
- Extra Biscoff spread
Instructions
- Prepare the base: Blitz Biscoff biscuits in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Add salt and melted butter, pulsing until the mixture comes together. Press the crumbs firmly into a lined 22cm springform cake tin, smoothing the surface with the back of a spoon. Chill in the refrigerator while you make the filling.
- Make the filling: Whip the cream until stiff peaks form, taking care not to overwhip. Set aside. In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese, caster sugar, and vanilla essence on medium speed for about 5 minutes until light and fluffy, scraping down the bowl as needed. Add the Biscoff spread and continue beating until fully combined.
- Fold and combine: Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, followed by the remaining half, until the mixture is smooth and airy. Pour the filling evenly over the chilled biscuit base, spreading it to the edges. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or, ideally, overnight until set.
- Decorate and serve: Run a sharp knife around the edge of the tin to loosen the cheesecake before releasing the springform. Transfer to a serving plate. Warm some extra Biscoff spread in short bursts in the microwave until runny but not hot, then drizzle over the top. Garnish with whipped cream and extra biscuit crumbs for an elegant finish.
Notes
- Chill the cheesecake for at least 6 hours for best results.
- Use a springform tin for easy removal.
- Decorate with extra Biscoff spread and crumbs for added flavor.
