How to Make No-Bake Biscoff Cheesecake
Ready to get started? Let’s dive into the steps!
- Prepare the crust: Crush the Biscoff cookies into fine crumbs and mix with the melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.
- Make the cheesecake filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
- Add the Biscoff spread: Fold in the Biscoff spread until the mixture is uniform in color and texture.
- Assemble the cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow it to set completely.
- Serve: Once set, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Top with additional Biscoff cookies if desired, slice, and enjoy!
Substitutions & Additions
If you want to get creative, consider these swaps:

Tips for Success
Here are some helpful tips to ensure your cheesecake turns out perfectly:
- Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
- Don’t skip the chilling time; this is crucial for the cheesecake to set properly.
- Be gentle when folding in the whipped cream to maintain that light and airy texture.
