Ingredients for No-Bake Biscoff Cheesecake
For the Base
- 300g Biscoff biscuits (about 30 cookies), crushed
- 150g unsalted butter, melted
For the Filling
- 600g full-fat cream cheese (room temperature)
- 300ml double cream (heavy cream)
- 300g Biscoff spread
For the Topping
- 150g Biscoff spread (melted)
- 2–3 Biscoff biscuits, crushed
Ingredient Notes
- Cream Cheese: Use full-fat cream cheese for the best texture and stability. Reduced-fat versions may result in a softer set.
- Double Cream: Also labeled as heavy cream. It must be cold before whipping to thicken properly.
- Biscoff Spread: Creamy Biscoff spread works best for a smooth finish. Crunchy can be used if you prefer texture.
- Butter Substitute: You may use a dairy-free butter alternative if needed.
- Healthier Option: For a slightly lighter version, replace ⅓ of the cream cheese with Greek yogurt, though the cheesecake will be slightly softer.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1 – Prepare the Base
Crush the Biscoff biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing with a rolling pin. Mix the crumbs with melted butter until evenly coated.
Press the mixture firmly into the base of a 9-inch springform pan. Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a glass to compact it tightly. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Step 2 – Make the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and lump-free. Add the Biscoff spread and mix until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the cold double cream until it forms soft peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the Biscoff cream cheese mixture. Continue folding until thick, smooth, and fully incorporated.
Step 3 – Assemble and Chill
Spoon the filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until fully set.
Once firm, gently melt the remaining Biscoff spread in the microwave for about 10–15 seconds until pourable. Spread over the cheesecake and sprinkle crushed biscuits on top.
Return to the fridge for another 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
Pro Tips for Success
- Always use room-temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps.
- Whip the cream separately before folding — this creates a lighter texture.
- Chill overnight for the cleanest slices.
- Run a warm knife under hot water before slicing for neat edges.
- Use a springform pan for easy removal.
- Do not overmix once the cream is added — it can deflate the mixture.
Flavor Variations
- Chocolate Biscoff Cheesecake: Add 100g melted dark chocolate to the filling.
- White Chocolate Swirl: Swirl melted white chocolate through the top before chilling.
- Salted Caramel Twist: Drizzle caramel sauce with a pinch of sea salt over the top.
- Nutty Crunch: Sprinkle chopped toasted hazelnuts for extra texture.
- Mini Cheesecakes: Divide into cupcake liners for individual portions.
Serving Suggestions
This cheesecake is delicious served chilled straight from the refrigerator. Pair it with:
- Fresh strawberries or raspberries

It makes a wonderful dessert centerpiece for birthdays, holiday meals, or weekend gatherings.

FAQ About No-Bake Biscoff Cheesecake
Why didn’t my cheesecake set properly?
The most common reason is under-whipped cream or low-fat cream cheese. Make sure the cream forms soft peaks before folding, and allow enough chilling time — preferably overnight.
Can I make this cheesecake ahead of time?
Yes, this is an excellent make-ahead dessert. It can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance and stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Can I use a different cookie for the base?
Absolutely. Graham crackers or digestive biscuits work well, but they will change the flavor slightly. Biscoff biscuits give the signature caramelized taste.
How do I get clean slices?
Dip a sharp knife in hot water, wipe it dry, and slice. Repeat between cuts for professional-looking pieces.
Can I make this dairy-free?
Yes. Use dairy-free cream cheese, plant-based butter, and coconut cream whipped until thick. The texture may be slightly softer, but it will still be delicious.
