Ingredients You’ll Need
This recipe celebrates simplicity—just a handful of easy-to-find ingredients, each chosen for their starring roles. You’ll be amazed by how these individual flavors and textures combine to create pure No-Bake Biscoff Cheesecake magic.
- Biscoff cookies: These are the secret to a uniquely spiced, crunchy crust that holds everything together.
- Unsalted butter: Melted and mixed with cookies, it creates the ultimate base for our cake.
- Cream cheese: Choose full-fat, softened cream cheese for a silky, rich filling that lets every flavor shine.
- Biscoff spread: This cookie butter gives both the filling and the topping their signature warmth and caramel notes.
- Powdered sugar: Adds a gentle sweetness that blends effortlessly into the creamy filling.
- Vanilla extract: A small splash rounds out the flavors and adds a bakery-fresh aroma.
- Heavy cream or whipping cream: Whipped to soft, luscious peaks, this lightens the filling beautifully.
- Crushed Biscoff cookies (for decoration): For that irresistible crunch and classic look on top.
How to Make No-Bake Biscoff Cheesecake
Step 1: Prepare the Cookie Crust
Start by crushing the Biscoff cookies into fine crumbs, either with a food processor or by popping them into a zip-top bag and bashing with a rolling pin for some kitchen therapy. Mix these golden crumbs with melted butter until the texture looks like wet sand—this is your foundation. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create a sturdy, even base. Pop it in the fridge for about 30 minutes, which helps the crust set and makes slicing the finished cheesecake so much easier.
Step 2: Whip Up the Dreamy Filling
While your crust is chilling, grab a large mixing bowl and combine the cream cheese, Biscoff spread, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Beat until you get a velvety-smooth filling that makes you want to dive in with a spoon. In a separate bowl, whip the cream until stiff peaks form—it should be fluffy but not overbeaten. Gently fold the whipped cream into the Biscoff mixture in two or three additions; this keeps the filling light and airy, like a cloud with each bite.
Step 3: Assemble and Chill
Spoon the filling over your chilled crust, using a spatula to spread it nice and even, right up to the edges. Smooth the top, then slide the whole pan back into the fridge. Let it chill for at least 6 hours (overnight is ideal) to set completely—that wait is what gives No-Bake Biscoff Cheesecake its perfect, sliceable texture.
Step 4: Top and Serve
When you’re ready to serve, melt a bit of Biscoff spread until pourable and drizzle it in swoops and swirls over the cheesecake. Finish with a scattering of crushed Biscoff cookies for a combo of crunch and cookie beauty. Now all that’s left is to slice generously and savor each bite!
How to Serve No-Bake Biscoff Cheesecake
Garnishes
This is the moment to get a little artistic! Try drizzling extra melted Biscoff spread on top and roughly crumbling more cookies over the cheesecake for added texture and flair. You can even pipe whipped cream along the edges or add a sprinkle of cinnamon for a warm finish.
Side Dishes
For a balanced dessert plate, pair a slice of No-Bake Biscoff Cheesecake with a small bowl of fresh berries or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The fruit adds a burst of freshness, while the ice cream amps up the decadence. A hot cup of coffee or spiced chai also makes a dreamy companion.
Creative Ways to Present
You don’t have to stick to the classic round pan! Try making individual servings in jars or ramekins for a party, or cut the cheesecake into bars for easy grab-and-go treats. Feeling extra? Swirl a bit of Biscoff through the filling before chilling for a marbled look that wows everyone at the table.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
If you somehow manage to have leftovers, store your No-Bake Biscoff Cheesecake in the fridge, tightly covered. It will stay fresh and delicious for up to four days. Just remember to cover the surface to keep it from absorbing any fridge odors.
Freezing
This cheesecake freezes beautifully! Chill it fully first, then wrap slices (or the whole cake) tightly in plastic wrap and foil. Freeze for up to a month. When ready to enjoy, thaw overnight in the fridge—just hold off on the decorative toppings until serving for ultimate freshness.
Reheating
Since this is a no-bake dessert, reheating isn’t needed (or recommended). Simply slice straight from the fridge or let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes if you like it a touch softer. The flavors and texture are at their best when served chilled.
FAQs
Can I make No-Bake Biscoff Cheesecake ahead of time?
Absolutely! In fact, making it a day ahead gives it plenty of time to set, so you end up with tidy slices and bold flavors. Prepare and chill it overnight for best results.
Do I have to use a springform pan?
While a springform pan makes for easy release and neat presentation, you can use a regular baking dish or pie plate. Just be sure to line it with parchment paper for easy lifting.
Can I substitute the cream cheese or Biscoff spread?
If you’re out of cream cheese, mascarpone works in a pinch, but the flavor and body are a bit different. For the Biscoff spread, you could swap in another cookie butter, but the unique spiced taste of Biscoff is the star here.
How do I prevent the cheesecake from sticking to the pan?
Lining the base and sides of your pan with parchment paper is a great technique to ensure your cheesecake slides out effortlessly when serving.
Is No-Bake Biscoff Cheesecake suitable for vegetarians?
Yes! All the ingredients are vegetarian-friendly—just double-check your specific brands, particularly the cookies, to make sure they fit your dietary needs.
