The buttery Biscoff biscuit base, silky cheesecake filling, and extra drizzle of spread make it a showstopper—without needing your oven at all. I make this for birthdays and family potlucks and it disappears every time.
This cheesecake won over my friends the first time I made it as an easy Sunday treat and it quickly became my go-to when I want maximum impact with minimum fuss.
Ingredients
- Biscoff biscuits: provide a deep caramel and spice base for the crust Look for crisp cookies for the best texture
- Unsalted butter: brings richness and helps bind the crust Pick a fresh block with no fridge aromas
- Full fat cream cheese: gives structure and tang Drain any excess liquid for the creamiest result
- Icing sugar: blends in smoothly for gentle sweetness Sift if clumpy
- Biscoff spread: infuses both the filling and toppings with signature flavor Use smooth or crunchy according to your preference
- Vanilla extract: adds a hint of warmth Choose pure extract for the best flavor
- Double cream: whips up beautifully for a luscious filling and creamy decorations Look for high-fat content for best setting
- Extra Biscoff biscuits and whipped cream: optional but bring crunch and visual flair Reserve some unbroken cookies for topping
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Biscuit Base:
- Blitz Biscoff biscuits in a food processor until finely crumbed then blend with melted butter Mix thoroughly so every crumb is coated Press mixture firmly and evenly into the base of an 8 inch or 20 centimeter springform pan Ensure the layer is tightly compacted and smooth for easy slicing Chill base while you prepare the filling
- Mix the Cheesecake Filling:
- Add full fat cream cheese vanilla extract icing sugar and Biscoff spread to the bowl Beat with an electric mixer or sturdy spoon until smooth and creamy Scrape down the sides to catch every bit of spread Whisk in the double cream slowly until the mixture thickens and holds its shape Make sure not to overwhip or the mixture can split
- Fill and Chill:
- Spread the cheesecake mixture gently over the chilled biscuit base Smooth the top with a spatula or the back of a spoon for a clean finish Cover with wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least five hours overnight gives best results The long chill sets the filling and intensifies flavor
- Decorate and Serve:
- Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan Whip additional double cream with icing sugar until soft peaks form Pipe or spoon cream on top if desired Use a hot knife for clean slices Crush or halve more Biscoff biscuits for garnish and finish with a generous drizzle of melted spread Warm Biscoff spread gently to pour easily

My absolute favorite part is swirling extra melted Biscoff on top just before serving It feels like dessert art and always brings out smiles at the table especially with a crunchy biscuit piece on each slice
Storage Tips
Store leftover cheesecake covered in the fridge for up to three days The flavors get even deeper by day two Cut and portion the cheesecake before chilling if serving over multiple days For longer keeping freeze individual slices wrapped tightly and then in a sealed container Thaw in the fridge overnight before serving
Ingredient Substitutions
If you cannot find Biscoff biscuits use another spiced cookie like Speculoos or even gingersnaps For the spread any brand of cookie butter will work In a pinch swap half Biscoff biscuits for plain digestive biscuits in the crust Only use full fat cream cheese for the proper creamy texture
Serving Suggestions
Serve this cheesecake straight from the fridge with coffee or tea For celebrations add fresh berries or a sprinkling of chocolate shavings on top For a little extra indulgence swirl in melted chocolate or caramel with the Biscoff drizzle Try assembling in mini jars for a picnic or single serve treat

Lightly whipped cream with icing sugar piped on top, extra biscuits, and a gentle drizzle of melted Biscoff spread add appealing texture and aroma.
