Biscoff Cheesecake Recipe with Chocolate Variation
Author: Jessica Haggard
A buttery spiced cookie crust holds a silky no-bake Lotus Biscoff cheesecake filling finished with a glossy cookie butter drizzle, no oven required. This easy Biscoff cheesecake recipe is made ahead of time, so it is ready and chilled for your next holiday or gathering without any stress.
Mix the crushed Biscoff cookies with the melted butter.
Tress the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan. Pop it in the fridge while you make the filling.
Beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Add the Biscoff spread and vanilla, then mix until it's all combined.
In another bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture. Going for the chocolate version? Fold in the melted chocolate now too.
Layer the filling in two parts over the chilled crust: spread half the filling, sprinkle on the remaining cup of cookie crumbs, then spread the rest of the filling on top.
Smooth it out and refrigerate for at least 6 hours (overnight is even better) until it's fully set.
Warm the heavy cream and Biscoff spread together in a saucepan or microwave until smooth. Let it cool a bit before pouring it over the chilled cheesecake.
Finish with crushed Biscoff cookies and chocolate shavings on top. Slice it up and serve cold.
Notes
Use a measuring cup to pack the crust down tight so it doesn't crumble when you slice it. Chill your bowl and beaters for 10 minutes so the whipped cream holds up better. Wait to add the cookie crumbs until right before serving so they stay crunchy.Serve: Pair with coffee or a mocktail. It’s the perfect make-ahead dessert to follow a holiday dinner of ham, cornbread, and mashed potatoes.Store: Refrigerate the cheesecake covered for up to 4 to 5 days. To freeze, wrap it tightly in plastic and foil for up to 1 month. Add the toppings and cookie garnish just before serving so they stay crunchy.
