What is Biscoff?

The first time I tasted a Biscoff cookie was on a plane. Delta Airlines started serving the cookie in 1986, basically introducing the treat to the world. 

But this variety of cookie isn’t new. The crispy cinnamon flavored Belgian cookie has actually been around since 17th century, and has always been a popular treat to give children on St. Nicholas Day.

From someone who flies quite a bit, I think it’s safe to say travel is not as much fun as it used to be. More people are traveling than ever before and delays often happen. 

Sometimes I get on a flight and I’m tired and aggravated, but then that pretty red and white wrapper hits my seat tray. Once my coffee is also delivered, all is right with the world. At least for a few minutes.

I love the flavor of the Biscoff cookie and it’s perfect with a cup of coffee. There was a time when we only had them on flights, but now they seem to magically appear in our pantry. This happens when you’re married to a cookie monster.

Why We Love this Biscoff Cheesecake

First of all, who doesn’t love delicious cheesecake? That bite of creamy goodness usually poured into some kind of graham cracker or cookie crust is irresistible.

Now, imagine that bite in a crust of Biscoff flavors. The cinnamon, butter, and brown sugar, all caramelized together, take this no bake cheesecake to a whole new level. And trust me. You want to taste this.

The best thing about this cheesecake recipe is that it’s indescribably delicious, but that it’s super easy to make, with no water bath and no baking, is a close second!

Variations and Substitutions

If you’re not a fan of sour cream, simply replace it with a whipped topping, either homemade, Cool Whip, or your favorite variety.

Adding crumbled cookies into the batter is a way to give you even more of that Biscoff flavor and adds a bit more texture.

There is a crunchy variety of Biscoff spread, too, but we liked the smooth look of the topping. Feel free to use it inside or outside the cheesecake if you prefer.

Love fruit with your cheesecake? We’re not judging! This dessert would be good topped with raspberries or strawberries.

How to Make Biscoff Cheesecake

Melt butter and set it aside to cool. 

Spray a 9-inch springform pan lightly with Pam or your favorite cooking spray. Line the bottom of the pan with a round of parchment paper. Use parchment cake pan side liners to line the sides of the pan.

Add Biscoff Cookies into a food processor and run on pulse until you have a fine crumb.

Once you’re happy with the crust, place the pan into the freezer for about ten minutes to set.

Add the cream cheese to a large mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer set to medium high speed, beat the cream cheese until it’s creamy and smooth.

Take the crust out of the freezer. Slowly pour the cheesecake batter over the crust, spreading evenly with a spoon or spatula. Press the cheesecake mixture into the crust to make sure there are no air pockets.

Chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight. This is the best way to make sure the creamy Biscoff cheesecake filling is set.

Checking to make sure the cheesecake is set, remove it from the fridge. Carefully remove the parchment paper sides of the springform pan.

Add 2/3 cup of Biscoff cookie butter spread into a small microwave-safe bowl. Using low or defrost, melt in 20-second increments, stirring often.

Once the spread is completely melted, let it cool for a few minutes before pouring over the cheesecake, spreading lightly with the back of a spoon.

Don’t rush this as the spread really should not be put on the cheesecake while it’s hot.

Push the spread close to the edge, allowing it to trickle down the sides of the cheesecake. Look at the photo for inspiration.

Refrigerate the cheesecake again, for about 30 minutes, to set the topping.

Decorate the top of the cheesecake with stabilized whipped cream made with heavy cream. Make sure you know the difference between whipped cream vs whipping cream. Our recipe is included and it’s easy!

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does this Biscoff Cheesecake keep?

Cheesecake generally keeps for 3-4 days in the refrigerator. It’s probably fine to eat after that, but the texture will not be as good.

Can I freeze Biscoff Cheesecake?

You can freeze this cheesecake, but it will change the texture. This freezes for about 3 months in an airtight container. If you’re planning to freeze the whole cheesecake, adding the topping and decorations when you’re ready to serve it might be a better option as the cookies will lose their crunch in the freezer.

Do Biscoff cookies contain nuts?

No. Biscoff Cookies do not contain nuts. Perhaps this is one of the reasons they are so popular with airlines.

Top Tips

You can also use a high speed blender to crumb the cookies if you don’t have a food processor.

As much as you’ll want to show off this creamy cheesecake, it really shouldn’t sit out at room temperature for too long. Two hours is the maximum, but it’s best to stick it back in the fridge just after everyone has grabbed a serving.

Cheesecake is all about the texture, and though you can freeze it, the longer it’s kept in the freezer, the more the texture will change. Wrap it in plastic wrap before storing it in an airtight container for best results.

You may freeze it but it will change the texture. If you’re planning to freeze the entire cheesecake, wait until the day you’re planning to serve it to add the topping, cookies, and whipped cream.
