Biscoff Cookies (Optional) -  also called Biscoff biscuits. If you can't get Lotus Biscoff biscuits you can use any other brand of speculoos biscuits.

Pro Tip: Be sure to have your ingredients at the proper temperatures. Keep heavy cream chilled in the refrigerator until you are ready to use them. You’ll want to soften the cream cheese for 1 ½ hours at room temperature so you don’t get lumps in your creamy cheesecake.

Step by Step Instructions

Create the Crust

  1. Put the cookies and salt into a food processor. Blitz until they are a fine crumb. Add the melted butter and blitz again until combined. The mixture should have the consistency of wet sand.

  1. Line a 9-inch springform baking pan with acetate (alternative you could use parchment paper - this is optional however you way want to run a offset spatula around the edge before releasing the no bake cheesecake). Tip the biscoff crumb mixture into the pan and use the bottom of measuring cup or a mug to push the crumbs into the bottom. Put the pan into the refrigerator while you make the cheesecake filling.

Expert Tips

Temperature is Key - Use room temperature full fat cream cheese and cold heavy whipping cream thats whipped to stiff peaks. This is key to helping the cheesecake set since this recipe doesn't use gelatin.

Allow Enough Time to Set - Set the cheesecake in the refrigerator for AT LEAST 7 hours - overnight. Making this recipe a great make ahead dessert.

Cut Clean Slices - When it's time to serve, start with a sharp chef's knife. Have a large glass or plastic quart container of very hot water and a clean dish towel nearby. Before each slice dip your knife into the hot water and allow the blade to heat up for a few seconds. Dry it quickly with your towel completely and slice. Repeat with each slice.

Filling Tweaks - This is a thick, thick cheesecake. There's 32 ounces of cream cheese ( or 4 blocks of cream cheese) in the filling. You can obviously cut this measurement in half or three fourths.

  • ½ Filling Recipe = 16 ounces of cream cheese ( 2 bricks) + ¾ cup biscoff spread + 1 cup of powdered sugar + 1 & ¼ cup of heavy whipping cream + 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • ¾ Filling Recipe = 24 ounces of cream cheese ( 3 bricks) + 1 & ⅛ cup of biscoff spread + 1 & ½ cups of powdered sugar + 1 & ⅞ cups heavy whipping cream + 1 & ½ teaspoons vanilla extract

Recipe FAQ

Can I bake this cheesecake?

Absolutely NOT! It will melt into a watery creamy MESS. I do not recommend this at all.

What is the difference between this no bake cheesecake filling and regular cheesecake?

No bake cheesecake filling firms up in the fridge, and baked cheesecake firms up in the oven. There are no eggs in the no bake cheesecake filling hence it doesn't need to be baked.

Do I have to make the crust or can I use store-bought?

You can definitely use store-bought if you prefer.

What is an acetate collar and do I have to use one?

If you are unsure what acetate is, acetate is the clear plastic that you often find wrapped around cakes. This helps to create a smooth edge to mousse cakes that need to set. Understandably acetate is not in everybody's pantry so parchment paper is a great alternative from what I've read.
