What you will need
This Biscoff Cheesecake recipe needs just 7 ingredients to make the three components (the crust, filling, and topping). Here is the lineup:
- Biscoff cookies: You’ll need an 8.8-ounce package of Biscoff cookies. Lotus is a common brand of speculoos cookies available at most grocery stores. If you plan to garnish the cheesecake with more cookies, be sure to buy an extra package!
- Biscoff spread: Also known as speculoos spread or cookie butter, is a spread made from crushed speculoos biscuits. The texture is similar to peanut butter but with a spicy cinnamon flavor.
- Cream cheese: We recommend using the full-fat variety for a rich creaminess reminiscent of traditional cheesecake. Don’t forget to let the cream cheese soften to room temperature, so it mixes easily and there aren’t any clumps in the filling.
- Heavy whipping cream: Adds a light and airy texture to the filling.
- Confectioner sugar: aka powdered sugar, to perfectly sweeten the cheesecake filling.
How to make this recipe
Prep: Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper and set it aside.
Make the crust: In a food processor or Ziploc bag, add the Biscoff cookies and crush them to fine crumbs. Add the cookie crumbs and melted butter in a bowl. Mix them with a spoon. Transfer the mixture to the springform pan and press it firmly. Freeze for 10-15 minutes while you make the filling.
Make the filling: In a medium bowl, beat heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Set aside. In another medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese, confectioners sugar, and vanilla until creamy and smooth. Add the Biscoff spread and blend for a couple more minutes. Gently fold the prepared whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture
Assemble & chill: Spread the cheesecake mixture over the crust in the springform pan, smoothing the top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Top & serve: Microwave ½ cup of Biscoff spread for 15 seconds and spread it over the cheesecake on top, slightly dripping over the sides. Decorate the cheesecake by adding some cookie crumbs around the cheesecake top. Gently slice and serve!
Expert Tips
Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing, so it combines easily with the other filling ingredients and there is no clumping.
Use cold heavy whipping cream. Whip the cream until soft peaks form.
When combining the cream cheese and the whipped cream, gently fold them together to maintain a light, airy texture.
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, but overnight is better. Do not freeze the cheesecake to set it. The filling won’t slice and you’ll lose the creamy texture!
Use a clean, sharp knife to cut into slices for serving. For extra neat slices, wipe your knife clean with a paper towel between each cut.
