*This post may contain affiliate links. Please see my disclosure for more details!* A no-bake biscoff cheesecake recipe with a lotus biscoff biscuit base, creamy biscoff cookie butter cheesecake topping, whipped cream swirl and biscoff drizzle…. With only a 10 minute prep time , and make ahead friendly , you can blitz, press, whisk, chill and slice. What is Biscoff? Biscoff (also called speculoos/speculaas) is a spiced caramelised biscuit, and biscoff is the spreadable cookie butter version made from those biscuits. Commonly found in supermarkets (I am based in the UK, but it is available in many other counties) near other spreads and jams, it’s a delicious and very versatile in baking. If you can’t find Biscoff where you are, look for a speculoos cookie butter, or spiced biscuit spread, as it does come under various other names as well, depending on the brands. Making a no-bake cheesecake The full recipe and method can be found in the recipe card below The lotus biscuit base The simplicity of mixing the blitzed biscuits and melted butter to make the base, is incredibly simple, but you do still need to make sure that biscuits are blitzed very finely with no lumps, and to make sure to press it down very firmly into the tin so it doesn’t crumble. I press mine into the base of an 8″ springform cake tin so that the cheesecake is easier to remove from the tin after setting. I do not line the base, but you can add a piece of parchment paper if you are worried. The no-bake cheesecake filling When you whisk the mix up, it really doesn’t take too long at all – it takes me about 45 seconds to make the mixture. This is, of course, dependant on a few things – the temperature of the ingredients, brand of ingredients etc. Cream cheese – pretty much ANY full-fat soft cheese works. I would drain any liquid you see on top. Mascarpone is naturally sweeter if you want to use that, and others such as Philadelphia are thick and classic cheesecake Cream – use double cream (I’m in the UK – elsewhere it can be called ā€˜heavy cream’). Our double cream is typically 47% fat content so is very high. If yours is less, you may want to whip the cream separately and then fold through to help it set better Sugar – I like to use icing sugarĀ  Biscoff – smooth, or crunchy – it’s up to you.Ā  I switch between using my stand mixer and my electric hand whisk – but both work very well. You can use either, or neither. When you make a cheesecake without an electric mixer you just have to work a lot harder. Optional toppings for a cheesecake You don’t have to decorate a cheesecake like this at all, but you can try a variety of toppings. I generally like to stick to a drizzle of biscoff (as it’s the flavour theme), and some sweetened whipped cream drizzled on top. If you are to whip your own cream, I would suggest a whipping cream/double cream, so that it sets firmly, using a squirty cream can won’t work as the cream deflates quite quickly. I use a 2d closed star piping tip for my whipped cream. Tin sizes, scaling and options The best tin to use for any cheesecake is an 8″ springform cake tin , which is at least a couple inches deep (so the deeper ones that you can buy). This is the tin I use for all of my cheesecakes for consistency in developing recipes. If you wanted to make a smaller cheesecake, you can halve the recipe and use a 6″ tin – this could serve 6-8 people. If you wanted to increase the cheesecake serving, and use a 9″ tin, you can increase the recipe by about third. I have a recipe in my third book, Jane’s Patisserie Everyday for mini biscoff cheesecakes, which serves 12 individual cheesecakes. FAQs Why hasn’t my cheesecake set? The use of low fat ingredients, or under-whipping Is there an alternative to Biscoff? You can use any other brand of spiced biscuit spread that you want – or even switch to a different spread such as Nutella. Can this cheesecake be frozen? Yes! See more storage tips below the recipe card. We don’t have double cream, what can I use? Double cream is readily available in the UK. If you do not have it, you need to use the fattiest liquid cream you have, commonly called Heavy Cream in other countries. My cheesecake has gone lumpy? This means the mixture has split. You can try blending it until smooth, and then adding a setting agent such as gelatine to help it set. This usually occurs from over mixing. Biscuit Base 300 g Lotus/Biscoff biscuits 125 g unsalted butter (melted) Cheesecake Filling 500 g cream cheese (full fat) 100 g icing sugar 250 g Biscoff spread (smooth/crunchy) 1 tsp vanilla extract 300 ml double cream Optional Decorations 150 ml double cream 2 tbsp icing sugar 75 g Biscoff spread (melted) Biscoff biscuits Blitz the biscuits for the base in a food processor until they're a fine crumb. Mix with the melted butter and press down firmly into an 8"/20cm deep springform tin. In a new bowl, mix the cream cheese, vanilla, icing sugar and Biscoff spread until smooth. Mix in the double cream and whisk until its thick and holds itself completely! (Don't whip it too fast, slow and steady wins the race). Alternatively, you can whip the cream separately to stiff peaks and fold through! Spread the mixture evenly over the biscuit base and chill in the fridge for at least 5-6 hours, but preferably overnight. Remove from the tin and decorate how you like. I whipped together the double cream and icing sugar and piped it on, adding a biscoff biscuit per slice and drizzled over some melted biscoff! For this recipe you can use either mascarpone or soft cheese, both work perfectly. However, either MUST be full fat You might find it easier to melt the spread for 10 seconds before you try and decorate with it This cheesecake will last for 3 days in the fridge, once set.Ā  This cheesecake can be frozen for 3+ monthsĀ  Recipe updated May 2017 I’ve updated this recipe quite few times, due to ingredient changes and to improve the overall recipe. The original recipe was: 150g of digestives 150g of Lotus biscuit 150g unsalted butter And 2x 280g of the Philadelphia cream cheese The method for the recipe remained the same otherwise. Storage and freezing This cheesecake is a fresh product, so must be stored in the fridge. If the fresh ingredients used had a good date, the cheesecake will last for 3+ days. You can freeze this cheesecake for 3+ months – I would suggest freezing in the tin first, then removing, and storing. SaveSave Related recipes Biscoff is genuinely one of my favourite things.

I have a question about the base some have said that the base has been very hard to cut through am I just over pressing the base or is it maybe too much butter? Or is this just the way it should be?

Please see my [disclosure](https://www.janespatisserie.com/2015/05/01/no-bake-speculoos-cookie-butter-cheesecake/%E2%80%9Dhttps://www.janespatisserie.com/privacy-policy/%E2%80%9C) for more details!\** A **no-bake biscoff cheesecake** recipe with a lotus biscoff biscuit base, creamy biscoff cookie butter cheesecake topping, whipped cream swirl and biscoff drizzle…. With only a **10 minute prep time**, and **make ahead friendly**, you can blitz, press, whisk, chill and slice. ![](https://www.janespatisserie.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/IMG_0827_1-533x800.jpg) ## What is Biscoff? Biscoff (also called speculoos/speculaas) is a spiced caramelised biscuit, and biscoff is the spreadable cookie butter version made from those biscuits. Commonly found in supermarkets (I am based in the UK, but it is available in many other counties) near other spreads and jams, it’s a delicious and very versatile in baking. If you can’t find Biscoff where you are, look for a speculoos cookie butter, or spiced biscuit spread, as it does come under various other names as well, depending on the brands. ![](https://www.janespatisserie.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/IMG_0869_1-533x800.jpg) ## Making a no-bake cheesecake *The full recipe and method can be found in the recipe card below* ### The lotus biscuit base The simplicity of mixing the blitzed biscuits and melted butter to make the base, is incredibly simple, but you do still need to make sure that biscuits are blitzed very finely with no lumps, and to make sure to press it down very firmly into the tin so it doesn’t crumble. I press mine into the base of an [8″ springform cake tin](https://amzn.to/3n5rALR) so that the cheesecake is easier to remove from the tin after setting. I do not line the base, but you can add a piece of parchment paper if you are worried. ### The no-bake cheesecake filling When you whisk the mix up, it really doesn’t take too long at all – it takes me about 45 seconds to make the mixture. This is, of course, dependant on a few things – the temperature of the ingredients, brand of ingredients etc. - Cream cheese – pretty much ANY full-fat soft cheese works. I would drain any liquid you see on top. Mascarpone is naturally sweeter if you want to use that, and others such as Philadelphia are thick and classic cheesecake - Cream – use double cream (I’m in the UK – elsewhere it can be called ā€˜heavy cream’). Our double cream is typically 47% fat content so is very high. If yours is less, you may want to whip the cream separately and then fold through to help it set better - Sugar – I like to use icing sugar - Biscoff – smooth, or crunchy – it’s up to you. I switch between using my stand mixer and my electric hand whisk – but both work very well. You can use either, or neither. When you make a cheesecake without an electric mixer you just have to work a lot harder. ![](https://www.janespatisserie.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/IMG_0877_1-533x800.jpg) ### Optional toppings for a cheesecake You don’t have to decorate a cheesecake like this at all, but you can try a variety of toppings. I generally like to stick to a drizzle of biscoff (as it’s the flavour theme), and some sweetened whipped cream drizzled on top. If you are to whip your own cream, I would suggest a whipping cream/double cream, so that it sets firmly, using a squirty cream can won’t work as the cream deflates quite quickly. I use a [2d closed star piping tip](https://amzn.to/3EW55qC) for my whipped cream. ![](https://www.janespatisserie.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/IMG_0857_1-533x800.jpg) ## Tin sizes, scaling and options The best tin to use for any cheesecake is an [8″ springform cake tin](https://amzn.to/3n5rALR), which is at least a couple inches deep (so the deeper ones that you can buy). [This is the tin](https://amzn.to/3n5rALR) I use for all of my cheesecakes for consistency in developing recipes. If you wanted to make a smaller cheesecake, you can halve the recipe and use a 6″ tin – this could serve 6-8 people. If you wanted to increase the cheesecake serving, and use a 9″ tin, you can increase the recipe by about third. I have a recipe in my third book, [Jane’s Patisserie Everyday](https://amzn.to/4g4nzlG) for mini biscoff cheesecakes, which serves 12 individual cheesecakes. ![](https://www.janespatisserie.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/IMG_0847_1-533x800.jpg) ## FAQs **Why hasn’t my cheesecake set?** The use of low fat ingredients, or under-whipping **Is there an alternative to Biscoff?** You can use any other brand of spiced biscuit spread that you want – or even switch to a different spread such as Nutella. **Can this cheesecake be frozen?** Yes! See more storage tips below the recipe card. **We don’t have double cream, what can I use?** Double cream is readily available in the UK. If you do not have it, you need to use the fattiest liquid cream you have, commonly called Heavy Cream in other countries. **My cheesecake has gone lumpy?** This means the mixture has split. You can try blending it until smooth, and then adding a setting agent such as gelatine to help it set. This usually occurs from over mixing. ![](https://www.janespatisserie.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/IMG_0815_1-300x300.jpg) #### Biscuit Base - 300 g Lotus/Biscoff biscuits - 125 g unsalted butter (melted) #### Cheesecake Filling - 500 g cream cheese (full fat) - 100 g icing sugar - 250 g Biscoff spread (smooth/crunchy) - 1 tsp vanilla extract - 300 ml double cream #### Optional Decorations - 150 ml double cream - 2 tbsp icing sugar - 75 g Biscoff spread (melted) - Biscoff biscuits - Blitz the biscuits for the base in a food processor until they're a fine crumb. - Mix with the melted butter and press down firmly into an 8"/20cm deep springform tin. - In a new bowl, mix the cream cheese, vanilla, icing sugar and Biscoff spread until smooth. - Mix in the double cream and whisk until its thick and holds itself completely\! - (Don't whip it too fast, slow and steady wins the race). Alternatively, you can whip the cream separately to stiff peaks and fold through\! - Spread the mixture evenly over the biscuit base and chill in the fridge for at least 5-6 hours, but preferably overnight. - Remove from the tin and decorate how you like. - I whipped together the double cream and icing sugar and piped it on, adding a biscoff biscuit per slice and drizzled over some melted biscoff\! - For this recipe you can use either mascarpone or soft cheese, both work perfectly. However, either MUST be full fat - You might find it easier to melt the spread for 10 seconds before you try and decorate with it - This cheesecake will last for 3 days in the fridge, once set. - This cheesecake can be frozen for 3+ months ![](https://www.janespatisserie.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/IMG_0834_1-533x800.jpg) ## Recipe updated May 2017 I’ve updated this recipe quite few times, due to ingredient changes and to improve the overall recipe. The original recipe was: - 150g of digestives - 150g of Lotus biscuit - 150g unsalted butter - And 2x 280g of the Philadelphia cream cheese The method for the recipe remained the same otherwise. ## Storage and freezing This cheesecake is a fresh product, so must be stored in the fridge. If the fresh ingredients used had a good date, the cheesecake will last for 3+ days. You can freeze this cheesecake for 3+ months – I would suggest freezing in the tin first, then removing, and storing. SaveSave ## Related recipes Biscoff is genuinely one of my favourite things.
