Full steps and ingredients in recipe card below.
- Biscoff cookies: You can also use speculoos cookies instead if you can't find biscoff.
- Biscoff spread: You'll need about 1.5 jars of biscoff spread.
- Cream cheese: Use full fat, brick style cream cheese for best results. Low fat cream cheese has too much water and won't let the cheesecake set properly.
- Heavy whipping cream: Use a whipping cream that's at least 35% milk fat to ensure that it whips up properly.

👩🍳 How to make biscoff cheesecake
Step 1: Line the bottom of an 8” or 9” springform round baking pan with parchment paper. This will help slide the cheesecake onto a serving plate.
Crush biscoff cookies in a food processor or in a zippered bag with a rolling pin. Make sure it’s crushed very finely. Add melted butter, salt, and stir.
Step 2: Pour crust mixture into the springform pan and spread it out to make it even. Press down with the bottom of a glass tightly.
Step 3: Whip cream to stiff peaks and set aside in the fridge for later. Use a chilled bowl and whisk for best results.
Beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and beat again until creamy.
Step 4: Scrape down the bowl and beat again. Add cookie butter and beat until smooth.
Step 5: Fold the chilled whipped cream in two additions into the cheesecake mixture. Fold gently with a spatula to not deflate the filling.
Step 6: Add half of the cheesecake filling on top of the crust and spread smooth.
Sprinkle crushed biscoff cookies on top of the filling. Melt ¼ cup of biscoff spread in the microwave (10 second intervals, stirring between each). Drizzle spread on top of crushed biscoff.
Step 7: Top with remaining cheesecake filling and spread the top smooth. Chill for at least 8 hours or overnight.
Step 8: Run a knife or thin spatula along the edge of the cheesecake to help release it. Take the ring off and slide the cheesecake onto a serving plate with the help of a spatula and/or knife.
Melt biscoff spread in the microwave (10 second intervals, stirring between each). Pour on top of cheesecake and spread to the edges. Slice and serve!
✔️ Expert no bake cheesecake tips
- Use softened cream cheese: Have the cream cheese very soft so that it blends much easier and smoother.
- Whip the cream to medium stiff peaks. Gently fold it in two additions to prevent it from deflating. The whipped cream helps the cheesecake set to the perfect creamy, smooth texture.
- Chill the cheesecake. Make sure the cheesecake has enough time to chill to set. This will develop the cheesecake flavor and help it firm up enough to slice.
🥄 Make ahead and storage
Since it needs to chill overnight, it's the perfect make ahead cheesecake.
Keep cheesecake in the refrigerator for up to 4 days (covered) or in an airtight container/bag in the freezer for up to 2 months. Use a cake carrier to store the cheesecake in the refrigerator. This prevents the top from getting damaged and keeps it sealed pretty well.
❔ Biscoff VS Speculoos
Biscoff and speculoos have very similar flavor profiles and can work interchangeably. I do prefer biscoff, it has a brighter golden hue and tastes more caramelized than speculoos. You can find both of them as cookie butter spreads to make this recipe! Check in your local grocery store or online.
✔️ What makes this the easiest cheesecake
This is the easiest, fanciest cheesecake you’re ever going to make! The cookie butter spread throughout the middle and top really elevate it.
The cheesecake filling consists of just cream cheese, powdered sugar, biscoff spread, and whipped cream. Simple ingredients and it helps it come together really quick.
The hardest part will be whipping the cream which is so easy to do! I prefer whipped cream over whipped spread because it tastes 100 times better and gives the cheesecake a perfect, fluffy texture. You can whip the cream by hand, just make sure that your bowl and wire whisk are chilled to help it whip up faster.
It’s a no bake cheesecake so you don’t have to worry about baking it which makes it that much easier! No water baths needed.

📖 Recipe FAQs
Pour hot water into a bowl and place jar with biscoff spread inside. Stir occasionally and it will melt within a few minutes. This is actually my go to method for melting biscoff spread.
I use smooth biscoff to get the beautiful shiny finish on top. The cheesecake has plenty of crushed biscoff cookies inside and on top for crunch.
Make sure to crush the cookies really finely. I had a couple of larger chunks in mine and it didn't hold its shape as well as if the pieces were more fine. Still delicious though!
Yes! Make sure the cream cheese is very soft so it blends easier. Chill the bowl and whisk for whipping the cream in the freezer for a few minutes to help it whip up faster. All you really need is a regular wire whisk and a little bit of patience.

I've made this multiple times and it is such a showstopper! This is now a staple dessert in my lineup
Dee
Really Easy to make and it was my first Cheesecake recipe I have ever made! Everyone LOVES this and requests it all the time--always a favorite 🙂
Haley
Amazing recipe which I have now made at least 6 times, think that speaks for itself and is also Also requested by my friends. I made the your Baileys cheesecake last weekend which was also delicious. Next on my list is your Lemon Curd cheesecake. All your recipes are delicious, so many thanks from Scotland for all your hard work and making us extremely happy.
Mary
Aw thank you so much for all your love and for making my recipes! I'm so happy that you're enjoying my recipes 🙂
Martha
Thanks for a great recipe, I made it for a birthday and everyone loved it. I picked this recipe because the middle layer of cookies looked awesome and that was my favourite part! The fluffy texture of the cream cheese works so well with the cookies. The only change I made was reducing the powdered sugar (from 240g to 150g) because I prefer my cheesecakes on the tangy side, and it worked out great.
Carol
Everyone who tasted this was blown away! Loved it!
Haley
I have made your delicious Biscoff cheesecake at least 4 times now to rave reviews from all. I was a bit jubious on my first attempt (as not a fan of salted caramel flavour at all and thought it may be similar) I don't have a microwave, so found that melting the spread in a jam jar place in a bowl of boiling water worked well and took no time at all. Going to make your Baileys cheesecake tomorrow. Any chance of a white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake recipe? I know that's being greedy, but I seriously yearn for this cheesecake and the many more to come 😋. Many thanks for all your hard work and the gift of sharing to all.

Ah so glad you love it! A white chocolate raspberry cheesecake has been on my mind - I need to publish a recipe for that soon!
Monika
Hey, I was wondering if I could use this cheesecake mixture to layer my vanilla cake? Would it hold the shape?
Mary
Hi, you can definitely try but I'm not sure that it will. It definitely isn't as stiff and stable as frosting is. You can check out my biscoff cake recipe which has biscoff cream cheese frosting: https://flouringkitchen.com/biscoff-cake/

This recipe is amazing! Super easy to make and it tastes so good. I honestly don't know how to describe the texture, out of all the cheesecakes I've made, this one definitely stands out. I'll most certainly make this again. My whole family loved it! Thank you for this amazing recipe Mary!
