Ingredients You’ll Need

This Biscoff Cheesecake uses simple, accessible ingredients, but each one plays an essential role in creating that perfect indulgent texture and signature cookie butter taste. Don’t skip any—the magic really is in the mix!

• Biscoff Cookies: These caramelized spiced cookies form the sweet, crunchy base for the cheesecake and add irresistible flavor throughout.
• Unsalted Butter: Just enough to bind the cookie crumbs into a buttery crust—always melt it for easy mixing.
• Cream Cheese: The star of any cheesecake! Use full-fat and make sure it’s well softened for the creamiest, smoothest result.
• Brown Sugar & Granulated Sugar: Brown sugar deepens the caramel notes, while a splash of granulated keeps the sweetness balanced.
• Sour Cream: Adds a subtle tang and super luxe creaminess to the filling—don’t skip it!
• Biscoff Cookie Butter: The essential ingredient that infuses every bite with pure cookie delight. Use smooth Biscoff spread for best results.
• Vanilla Extract: Amplifies all the flavors and rounds out the richness.
• Salt: Just a pinch perks up the whole cheesecake and keeps it from tasting too sweet.
• Eggs: These provide structure and richness—bring them to room temperature for the smoothest batter.
• Extra Biscoff Spread & Crumbled Cookies (for decorating): For that luscious topping and a final flourish that wows every time.

Variations

Cheesecake is the ultimate canvas for creativity! Don’t hesitate to make this Biscoff Cheesecake your own by playing with flavors or adjusting it for dietary needs—it’s so easy to adapt.

• Chocolate Swirl: Add melted dark chocolate in dollops to the batter and swirl with a knife for a chocolatey twist that pairs perfectly with Biscoff.
• No-Bake Version: Try skipping the oven entirely—use a no-bake cheesecake filling and chill overnight for a quick and cool treat.
• Mini Cheesecakes: Use a muffin tin for bite-sized cheesecakes, perfect for parties or gifting.
• Dairy-Free Adaptation: Swap in dairy-free cream cheese, butter, and sour cream—Biscoff spread is naturally vegan!

How to Make Biscoff Cheesecake

Step 1: Make the Crunchy Biscoff Crust

Start by preheating your oven to 325ºF. Crush those Biscoff cookies in a food processor until you get fine, sandy crumbs. Stir in your melted butter until the mixture looks like wet sand, then press it firmly into the bottom of a deep 8″ or 9″ springform pan. Give it a quick 10-minute trip in the oven—this sets the base so it stays perfectly crisp under all that luscious filling! Let it cool while you work on the next step.

Step 2: Mix the Creamy Biscoff Cheesecake Batter

Beat your softened cream cheese until it’s ultra smooth and fluffy—no lumps! Add in the brown and granulated sugars, beat again, then blend in sour cream and that heavenly Biscoff cookie butter. Stir in the vanilla and salt (don’t forget to scrape the bowl several times for an even mix). Finally, add your eggs one at a time, mixing just until incorporated to keep the batter creamy and prevent cracks.

Step 3: Bake in a Water Bath

Pour the batter over your baked (and cooled!) crust, making sure to grease the sides of the pan if needed. Wrap the pan securely with foil to prevent leaks, then place it in a larger roasting pan. Carefully pour hot water around it to create a gentle water bath—this is the secret to a crack-free, ultra-creamy cheesecake. Bake for 60-70 minutes, until the edges look set but the center has a little wobble when you give the pan a nudge.

Step 4: Cool & Chill

Once baked, simply turn off the oven but leave the cheesecake inside with the door closed for an hour—this helps prevent cracks by avoiding sudden temperature changes. Then refrigerate for at least 6 hours (or overnight if you can stand the wait!) for the flavors and texture to develop into pure Biscoff perfection.

Step 5: Decorate & Enjoy

When you’re ready to serve, gently heat Biscoff spread until it’s pourable. Drizzle it generously over the chilled cheesecake, spreading it smoothly from edge to edge. Scatter lots of crushed Biscoff cookies around the top for that extra crunch and wow factor. Slice and watch the layers reveal themselves—then dig in!

How to Serve Biscoff Cheesecake

Garnishes

Turn your Biscoff Cheesecake into a true centerpiece with a glossy pour of melted Biscoff spread on top, a scattering of crushed Biscoff cookies, and maybe a hint of whipped cream or a few shards of white chocolate for an extra-special touch. The more textures and layers, the better!

Side Dishes

This cheesecake is rich and satisfying on its own, but if you want to serve it with something on the side, fresh berries or a tart fruit compote are perfect for cutting through the sweetness and adding a little brightness to each slice.

Creative Ways to Present

Try serving individual slices in mason jars for picnics, piping mini-circles of whipped Biscoff spread on top for a modern look, or layering cubes of cheesecake with whipped cream and crumbs in parfait glasses for a stunning, deconstructed dessert.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

Any leftover Biscoff Cheesecake keeps beautifully in the fridge. Just cover it tightly with plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container—you’ll have four to five days to sneak extra helpings whenever the craving strikes!

Freezing

To freeze, first chill your cheesecake in the fridge until set, then wrap it well in plastic wrap (either whole or by the slice), and store inside an airtight container. It’ll keep for up to 2 months—the perfect make-ahead dessert for busy weeks or surprise guests.

Reheating

No reheating needed—Biscoff Cheesecake is best enjoyed cold! Simply thaw in the refrigerator overnight or for a few hours before serving, so the texture and flavor stay just right.
