Everyday Culinary Delights 👩‍🍳

 

Okay, I need to tell you something upfront—I am a huge fan of anything Biscoff. The way that sweet, spiced cookie butter just melts in your mouth? It’s the kind of thing dreams are made of. So when I discovered how easy it is to turn that cookie magic into a no-bake cheesecake, it quickly became one of my go-to desserts. It’s rich, creamy, perfectly spiced, and you don’t even have to turn on your oven. What’s not to love?

If you’re anything like me, you’re always looking for a crowd-pleasing dessert that doesn’t involve complicated steps or too much fuss. This No-Bake Biscoff Cookie Butter Cheesecake checks all the boxes. It starts with a buttery Biscoff cookie crust (yes, double the Biscoff, because why not?), then gets filled with a luscious whipped cheesecake mixture flavored with cookie butter, and finally topped with even more Biscoff goodness. And the best part? You can make it ahead of time, chill it in the fridge, and impress everyone without breaking a sweat.

This is the kind of dessert that works perfectly for everything from holidays and dinner parties to cozy nights in when you’re craving something sweet. I’ve made it for family birthdays, Friendsgiving get-togethers, and even once just because it was Tuesday. Trust me, it’s that kind of recipe.

Alright, let’s dive into how to make this creamy, dreamy treat from start to finish.

STEP 1: MAKE THAT GOLDEN BISCOFF CRUST

Let’s start with the foundation—our crust. This part is so simple, but it really sets the tone for the whole dessert. You’ll need about 2 cups of crushed Biscoff cookies, which is roughly 20 cookies. You can blitz them in a food processor or pop them in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin (a great stress reliever, by the way).

Once you have your crumbs, mix them in a bowl with ¼ cup of granulated sugar and 6 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter. Stir everything together until it starts to look like wet sand—that’s when you know you’ve got it right. Then press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan or pie dish. I like using the bottom of a glass to make sure everything is packed in nice and even.

After the crust is nice and smooth, pop it into the fridge to chill while you work on the filling. This helps it firm up and makes the final dessert hold its shape better.

STEP 2: WHIP UP THAT BISCOFF-INFUSED FILLING

Now comes the fun part—the filling! This is where all the creamy magic happens. Start with 16 oz of cream cheese, softened to room temperature. You want it nice and smooth so it blends easily. Beat it together with ½ cup of Biscoff cookie butter (don’t be shy here—the flavor is amazing), ½ cup of powdered sugar, and a teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Once that mixture is creamy and silky, it’s time to lighten things up by folding in a cup of whipped cream that’s been whipped to stiff peaks. Be gentle here—use a spatula and fold it in slowly to keep the filling light and airy. This step gives the cheesecake that mousse-like texture that makes it feel so luxurious without being too heavy.

Once your filling is fully combined and fluffy, it’s ready to be poured into the chilled crust. Go ahead and spread it out evenly with a spatula, making sure to smooth the top. If you want to be extra careful, tap the pan gently on the counter to release any trapped air bubbles.

STEP 3: THE CHILL—LET IT SET TO PERFECTION

Once you’ve assembled your cheesecake, it’s time to let it chill and firm up. This part is absolutely key because it transforms that soft, fluffy filling into a sliceable, creamy masterpiece.

Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4–6 hours. If you’re planning ahead (which I always recommend), leaving it overnight is even better. It gives the flavors time to meld together and results in that beautiful, clean slice when it’s time to serve.

In a rush? You can pop it into the freezer for about 2–3 hours to speed things up. Just keep in mind that if you do freeze it, you’ll want to let it sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before serving to make slicing easier.

STEP 4: ADD THOSE DECADENT TOPPINGS

Here’s where you can really have some fun and get creative. Toppings aren’t just a visual bonus—they add texture and an extra layer of flavor that takes this cheesecake to the next level.

I personally love to drizzle extra melted Biscoff cookie butter over the top. Just scoop out a couple of tablespoons, microwave it for about 15–20 seconds, and drizzle it over the chilled cheesecake. You can go simple with a zigzag pattern, or get a little fancy and swirl it around. It’s totally up to you.

Next, top it with whipped cream—either piped along the edges or in little dollops. Finish it off with a sprinkle of crushed Biscoff cookies for that signature crunch, or, if you’re feeling a little extra, a drizzle of caramel sauce really compliments the spiced cookie flavor beautifully.

These toppings not only make your cheesecake look bakery-worthy, but they also add layers of flavor and texture that will have everyone asking for seconds.

STEP 5: SLICE AND SERVE

Once your cheesecake is fully set and beautifully topped, it’s ready to serve. If you’re using a springform pan, release the sides carefully to avoid breaking the edges. For a pie dish, use a thin knife to gently loosen the edges before slicing.

Use a warm knife (just run it under hot water and wipe it dry) for clean slices. It helps cut through the creamy filling without dragging, especially if you’ve added any sticky toppings like cookie butter or caramel.

Serve your cheesecake chilled for the best texture. It’s smooth, rich, and velvety—like a cross between a mousse and a cheesecake. And the best part? You made it all without ever turning on the oven.

TIPS FOR A FLAWLESS BISCOFF CHEESECAKE

This recipe is super straightforward, but here are a few tips I’ve learned along the way to make it even easier and more foolproof:

  • Use room-temperature cream cheese. It blends more easily and creates a smoother filling. Cold cream cheese tends to clump, which no one wants in a cheesecake.

  • Whip your cream to stiff peaks. This is key for giving the filling its light, airy texture. If you under-whip it, your cheesecake won’t hold its shape as well.

  • Pack the crust tightly. A loose crust can fall apart when slicing. Use the bottom of a glass to press it in firmly and evenly.

  • Chill thoroughly. As tempting as it is to dig in early, don’t rush the chilling time. It’s worth the wait for that perfect creamy consistency.

VARIATIONS TO TRY

Want to switch things up? Here are a few fun twists you can try:

  • Mini Cheesecakes: Use a muffin tin with cupcake liners to create individual servings. Great for parties and portion control.

  • Chocolate Drizzle: Swap the caramel or cookie butter drizzle for melted chocolate for a richer flavor.

  • Swirl It: Mix a few spoonfuls of Biscoff into the filling before pouring it into the crust to create a gorgeous swirl effect.

  • Add a Crunchy Layer: Sprinkle some crushed toffee bits or chopped nuts on top for added crunch and contrast.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1. Can I use another type of cookie for the crust if I don’t have Biscoff?

Absolutely! Graham crackers work well, or even Oreos if you want a chocolate twist. But keep in mind, Biscoff cookies add a unique spiced flavor that complements the cookie butter filling perfectly.

2. What’s the best way to melt Biscoff cookie butter for drizzling?

Place a few tablespoons in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for about 15–20 seconds. Give it a quick stir and it’ll be the perfect consistency for drizzling over the top of your cheesecake.

3. Can I make this cheesecake ahead of time?

Yes! In fact, it’s even better when made a day in advance. Prepare the cheesecake the night before and let it chill overnight. Add the toppings just before serving for the best presentation.

4. How long will leftovers keep in the fridge?

This cheesecake will stay fresh for about 4–5 days when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Just be sure to keep it chilled at all times.

5. Can I freeze the cheesecake?

Yes, it freezes well. You can freeze the whole cheesecake or individual slices. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and then foil, and store in the freezer for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.

6. Do I need to use a springform pan?

It’s highly recommended for easy removal and clean slices, but not essential. A regular pie dish works just fine too—you’ll just need to serve it directly from the dish.

7. Can I use store-bought whipped topping instead of whipping cream?

You sure can. If you’re short on time, whipped topping (like Cool Whip) is a great substitute and still gives you a light, fluffy filling.

FINAL THOUGHTS: THE NO-BAKE DESSERT YOU’LL MAKE AGAIN AND AGAIN
