    What You Need

    The hero ingredients in this cheesecake are, of course, the Biscoff cookies and spread!

    Note: Scroll to the recipe card at the bottom for the ingredients quantities and full detailed method.

    The ingredients for a Biscoff flavoured dessert.

    For The Base

    • Biscoff cookies - use the regular Biscoff cookies (not the sandwich cookies) for the base.
    • Butter - use salted or unsalted butter.

    For The Filling

    • Thickened cream - use heavy, thickened or whipping cream.
    • Gelatine powder - to be dissolved in boiling water. I generally use McKenzies brand which is popular here in Australia. Gelatine helps the cheesecake to set and hold it's shape when served.
    • Cream cheese - softened to room temperature. I use blocks of full fat Philly cream cheese as it's perfect for the creamiest cheesecake, but you can swap for the 'light' version too, if you prefer.
    • Icing Sugar - you can use either icing sugar mixture or pure icing sugar.
    • Biscoff Spread - your choice of smooth or crunchy Biscoff spread.

    To Decorate

    • Biscoff Spread - your choice of smooth or crunchy Biscoff spread.
    • Biscoff Sandwich Cookies - two Biscoff cookies sandwiched with a creamy Biscoff filling.

    Note: Biscoff cookies, sandwich cookies and spread are available from all major supermarkets.

    Equipment Required

    To make no-bake Biscoff cheesecake, you will need:

    • 20cm round springform tin (8 inch).
    • Hand held beaters, a stand mixer or a Thermomix.
    • Jug/Kettle - for boiling water.
    • Microwave, stove-top or Thermomix for melting the butter.
    • Food processor or rolling pin or Thermomix - for crushing the biscuits.

    Step By Step Instructions

    Don't be fooled... this dessert may look impressive, but it's actually SO simple to make!

    Note: Scroll to the recipe card at the bottom for the ingredients quantities and full detailed method.

    Expert Tips

    Follow my top tips for the perfect no-bake Biscoff Cheesecake!

    • For the smoothest, lump-free cheesecake, ensure all of your ingredients are at room temperature before using.
    • If you don't have time to wait for the cream cheese to soften to room temperature, place it in the microwave for 30-60 seconds or until soft.
    • Biscoff - you can buy Biscoff spread, Biscoff cookies and Biscoff sandwich cookies from any major supermarket.
    • Cream cheese - for best results, use full fat (not light) cream cheese.
    • If you don't have a food processor, you can crush the biscuits by placing them in a ziplock bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.
    • Use a greased and lined (with baking paper) springform tin with a removable base for easy removal of the cheesecake.
    • Chill Biscoff cheesecake overnight (or for a minimum of 4 hours).
    • Store cheesecake in the fridge and consume within 3 days.
    • Freeze - you can freeze Biscoff cheesecake, either as a whole or in individual portions. Wrap in a layer of plastic wrap and then a layer of foil and freeze for up to 1 month.

    FAQs

    What is Biscoff?

    Biscoff is made by the brand Lotus. Biscoff cookies were originally created by a Belgian baker in 1932. The name itself combines 'biscuit' and 'coffee', which lends itself to the fact that Biscoff cookies are best served with coffee. Biscoff is now available as cookies, a spread and ice-cream bars.

    What does Biscoff taste like?

    Based on the Belgium biscuits you may know as Speculaas, Biscoff cookies and spread are like spiced shortcrust biscuits with a sweet, spicy flavour that is unique and bold. Using spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and all spice, I would describe the flavour of Biscoff biscuits and spread as a combination of spice, caramel and malt flavours. Totally irresistible!

    Do I need to use gelatine?

    The gelatine helps this cheesecake to hold it's shape. We only use a small amount of gelatine, which results in a smooth and creamy soft cheesecake.

    Should I use smooth or crunchy Biscoff spread?

    Either option can be used in this recipe! If you like a little bit of crunch, then use the crunchy spread. If you want an entirely smooth cheesecake, use the smooth spread! The choice is yours...
