You melt, stir, chill, and that's it. The Biscoff spread does the heavy lifting, giving you that spiced caramel cookie flavor without any fuss. No oven, no crust drama, just pure creamy texture and crunch.
I've tested this until it's foolproof. The result? A dense, silky cheesecake that sets firm enough to slice but stays luscious on the fork. Perfect for weeknights when you need dessert without the circus.
Why You'll Love This Recipe
About the Ingredients
1 ½ cups (360g) Biscoff cookie spread, divided
Use smooth Biscoff spread for the base and swirl. You can substitute with Speculoos cookie butter if needed.
8 oz (226g) cream cheese, softened
Full-fat cream cheese gives the best texture. Low-fat works but may be less creamy.
1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
Heavy cream is essential for richness. You can use coconut cream for a dairy-free version.
½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
Adjust to taste; if your Biscoff spread is very sweet, reduce to ⅓ cup.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pure vanilla adds depth. Use vanilla bean paste for extra specks.
1 cup (about 12) Biscoff cookies, crushed
Crush them coarsely for the base and topping. You can use any speculoos cookie.
2 tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter, melted
Binds the cookie crust. Use salted butter if you like a sweet-salty contrast.
Tips & Tricks
- Soften cream cheese fully to avoid lumps; let it sit at room temp for 30 minutes.
- Don't overmix the cream; stop when stiff peaks form to keep the texture light.
- Chill for at least 4 hours, but overnight is best for clean slicing.
Pro Tips
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Crush the cookies
Place Biscoff cookies in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin until you have coarse crumbs. You want a mix of fine and small chunks for texture.
2. Make the crust
In a medium bowl, combine crushed cookies with melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish or springform pan. Chill while you prepare the filling.
3. Melt the Biscoff
In a large pot over low heat, melt 1 cup of Biscoff spread with cream cheese and sugar. Stir constantly until smooth and fully combined, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
4. Whip the cream
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Fold the cream cheese mixture into the whipped cream gently until no streaks remain.
5. Assemble the cake
Pour the filling over the chilled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Warm the remaining ½ cup Biscoff spread slightly and drizzle over the top, then swirl with a knife.
6. Chill to set
Refrigerate uncovered for 10 minutes to let the swirl set, then cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until firm.
7. Slice and serve
Remove from the pan, slice with a hot knife, and serve chilled. Top with extra crushed Biscoff if desired.
Delicious Variations
Chocolate Biscoff
Add 2 tablespoons cocoa powder to the filling or drizzle with melted dark chocolate.
Salted Caramel
Swirl in ¼ cup salted caramel sauce instead of extra Biscoff spread.
Vegan Option
Use vegan cream cheese and coconut cream; skip the butter and use a vegan cookie crust.
