How to Make No-Bake Biscoff Cheesecake Recipe
Step 1: Create the Perfect Biscuit Base
First things first, blitz your Lotus or Biscoff biscuits until they’re fine crumbs—this is key for a sturdy yet tender crust. Mixing with melted unsalted butter helps the crumbs stick together perfectly when you press them into your 8” springform tin. Press firmly and evenly so you’ll have a solid base that holds up well to the creamy filling. Don’t skip chilling it a bit if your kitchen is warm; it helps firm the base up.
Step 2: Whip Up Your Silky Cheesecake Filling
Now, using an electric mixer (my KitchenAid is a lifesaver here), combine the cream cheese, Biscoff spread, icing sugar, and vanilla. Beat until super smooth and lump-free. This step ensures your filling is just the right texture—any lumps can throw off that perfect creamy mouthfeel. I discovered slow and steady mixing works best to keep the mix silky.
Step 3: Whip the Cream and Fold It In
Lightly whip 300 ml of double cream until it holds firm peaks—be patient and don’t rush this part. I always find whipping too fast means you risk over-whipping or lumpy texture. Once whipped, gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture to keep the filling airy and light. Alternatively, you can mix the double cream straight into the filling while whipping with your mixer carefully on a slow speed.
Step 4: Assemble and Chill
Spread your luscious cheesecake mixture evenly over the biscuit base. Smooth the top with a spatula and cover with cling film. Chill it in the fridge for at least 5-6 hours, but honestly, overnight is best if you can wait. This resting time lets the cheesecake set perfectly firm yet soft enough to slice beautifully.
Step 5: Decorate and Enjoy
Once chilled, remove your cheesecake from the springform tin carefully. I like to whip the remaining double cream with icing sugar and pipe it on top, then add a Biscoff biscuit per slice and drizzle melted Biscoff spread over everything for a stunning finish. It’s the perfect balance of rich creaminess and that signature caramel crunch.
Pro Tips for Making No-Bake Biscoff Cheesecake Recipe
- Use room temperature cream cheese: It blends more smoothly and prevents lumps in your filling.
- Go slow whipping cream: Slow speeds help build stable peaks without turning butter.
- Press crust firmly: A compact base keeps your cheesecake slicing neatly.
- Chill thoroughly: Don’t rush the chilling time or the cheesecake won’t set properly.
How to Serve No-Bake Biscoff Cheesecake Recipe
Garnishes
I love topping mine with whipped double cream and a whole Biscoff biscuit on each slice because it adds that perfect crunch and extra caramelized flavor. Sometimes, I drizzle through some melted Biscoff spread for a glossy, uber-indulgent finish. For a fresh twist, a sprinkle of toasted nuts or a dusting of cocoa powder can add a lovely touch.
Side Dishes
This cheesecake pairs wonderfully with a simple fresh fruit salad or a cup of strong espresso to cut through the richness. I’ve also served it alongside salted caramel sauce for guests who love extra indulgence. Light, crisp sparkling wines or dessert wines also elevate the experience beautifully.
Creative Ways to Present
For special occasions, I’ve made this No-Bake Biscoff Cheesecake Recipe in mini jars, layering crushed biscuits, Biscoff cream, and whipped cream for a delightful individual dessert. Another fun idea is swirling melted chocolate into the filling before chilling for a marbled effect that wows every time.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
Whenever I have leftovers (which is rare!), I store the cheesecake tightly covered in the fridge. This keeps it fresh and creamy for up to 3 days. Make sure to cover it well so it doesn’t absorb any fridge odors or dry out on the edges.
Freezing
I’ve frozen slices wrapped well in plastic wrap and foil, and they thaw beautifully overnight in the fridge. The texture holds up well, though I recommend enjoying them within 1 month for the best flavor and creaminess.
Reheating
Because this cheesecake is best served chilled, I don’t recommend reheating. Just bring frozen slices to the fridge the night before and serve cold for the best texture and flavor.
FAQs
-
Can I use crunchy Biscoff spread in this No-Bake Biscoff Cheesecake Recipe?
Absolutely! Using crunchy Biscoff spread adds delightful texture with little cookie bits in the creamy filling. It’s a personal favorite twist that adds some surprise crunch throughout the cheesecake.
-
How long does it take for the cheesecake to set?
For best results, the cheesecake needs at least 5 to 6 hours chilling in the fridge, but I highly recommend leaving it overnight. This ensures the filling firms up nicely and slices cleanly.
-

-
What if I don’t have a springform tin?
You could use a regular cake tin lined with parchment paper or a loose-bottom pan. Just be extra gentle removing the cheesecake to keep it intact.
