Ingredients List

Here’s exactly what you’ll need to make this Biscoff Cheesecake. Be sure to use full-fat versions for the best texture and flavor.

The base:

250g Biscoff biscuits (about 20 biscuits), crushed
100g unsalted butter, melted

The filling:

500g full-fat cream cheese, room temperature
250ml double cream, cold
200g Biscoff spread (smooth or crunchy both work)

The topping:

3 tablespoons Biscoff spread, gently melted
2–3 Biscoff biscuits, crumbled for garnish

Ingredient Notes:

Biscoff biscuits – These spiced cookies provide that signature caramel-ginger flavor. Crushing them finely helps the base hold together beautifully.
Unsalted butter – This binds the biscuit base and adds richness.
Cream cheese – Use full-fat for structure and that classic tangy richness.
Double cream – Whips up thick and luxurious, creating a light yet creamy texture.
Biscoff spread – The star of the show, it infuses the filling and topping with that irresistible cookie butter flavor.

Step-By-Step Cooking Instructions

Follow these easy steps to make a flawless no-bake Biscoff Cheesecake:

1. Prepare the biscuit base

Start by placing the Biscoff biscuits in a food processor and blitz until you have fine crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, you can pop them in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
Pour the melted butter over the crushed biscuits and stir until fully combined. The mixture should resemble wet sand and hold together when pressed.
Transfer the mixture to an 8-inch springform tin or a loose-bottom cake tin.
Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a glass to firmly press the crumbs into an even layer. Press slightly up the sides if you like.
Place the tin in the fridge to chill while you prepare the filling.

2. Make the filling

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and lump-free using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer. This step is important for achieving a silky filling.
Add the Biscoff spread and continue to beat until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whip the cold double cream until it forms soft peaks. Be careful not to over-whip; it should be thick and hold its shape but still smooth.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese and Biscoff mixture. Take your time and use a spatula to maintain the airy texture.
Once combined, spoon the mixture onto the chilled biscuit base and smooth out the top with an offset spatula or the back of a spoon.

3. Chill the cheesecake

Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap or foil and place it in the fridge.
Chill for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to set fully.

4. Add the topping

Just before serving, gently melt the Biscoff spread in the microwave for about 15–20 seconds until pourable.
Drizzle the melted spread over the chilled cheesecake and use a spoon to spread it gently.
Sprinkle the crumbled Biscoff biscuits on top for extra texture and visual appeal.

5. Serve and enjoy

Carefully remove the cheesecake from the tin. If using a springform tin, release the sides gently.
Slice with a hot knife (run it under hot water and wipe dry between slices) for clean cuts.
Serve cold and enjoy the compliments!

How to Serve

Here are a few ways to serve this cheesecake that will take it to the next level:

Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg on top for extra spice.
Garnish with a few whole Biscoff biscuits for a decorative finish.
Drizzle with extra melted Biscoff for even more indulgence.

Pairing Suggestions

Wondering what to serve alongside this decadent dessert? Try these ideas:

Hot drinks: Pair with a cup of black coffee or chai tea to complement the warm spices.
Cold drinks: A glass of oat milk or almond milk adds a lovely contrast to the richness.
Fruit: Fresh berries or a light fruit compote can balance the sweetness.

Storage, Freezing & Reheating Instructions

Storage:
Keep the cheesecake in the fridge in an airtight container or covered with plastic wrap. It stays fresh for up to 3 days.

Freezing:
To freeze, skip the topping and wrap the cheesecake tightly in foil or cling film, then place it in a freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the fridge before topping and serving.

Reheating:
This cheesecake is best served chilled, so reheating isn’t necessary. Just bring it out of the fridge 10–15 minutes before serving to soften slightly.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Using low-fat cream cheese – This can cause the filling to be too soft and not set properly.
Over-whipping the cream – Whipped too far, the cream can turn grainy or split.
Skipping chill time – This step is essential for setting the cheesecake. Don’t rush it.
Not crushing the biscuits finely enough – A too-chunky base won’t hold together well.
Using warm cream – Always whip cream straight from the fridge for the best results.

Pro Tips

Use a springform tin for easy removal and a perfect shape every time.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the filling to keep it light and fluffy.
For ultra-smooth cheesecake, make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing.
Chill the cheesecake overnight if possible for the best texture and flavor.
Run a knife around the edges before releasing the cheesecake from the tin to avoid cracks or tears.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What if I don’t have a springform tin?

Is this cheesecake overly sweet?
