Directions

In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the Biscoff-cream cheese mixture until smooth and airy.
Pour the filling over the crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or overnight, until fully set.

FAQs

What is Biscoff made of?

Biscoff cookies are made from caramelized sugar, flour, and spices like cinnamon. Biscoff spread is a creamy version of these cookies, blended into a smooth, sweet butter.

Can I make this cheesecake without a springform pan?

Yes, you can use a deep pie dish or an 8×8-inch square pan, though it may be more difficult to slice and remove cleanly.

Is this cheesecake overly sweet?

It’s sweet but balanced by the tanginess of the cream cheese and the bitterness of the spices in the Biscoff cookies.

Can I use whipped topping instead of heavy cream?

Yes, store-bought whipped topping can be used for convenience, though homemade whipped cream gives a richer flavor.

How long does this need to chill?

At least 6 hours, but overnight chilling is ideal for the best texture and firmness.

Can I use other cookies for the crust?

While Biscoff cookies add a distinct flavor, graham crackers or digestive biscuits can be substituted if needed.

What can I serve with Biscoff cheesecake?

Serve with whipped cream, fresh fruit like strawberries, or a drizzle of caramel for an extra indulgent touch.

Does Biscoff cheesecake freeze well?

Yes, it freezes beautifully. Just wrap it well and thaw it in the fridge before serving.

Can I add a gelatin or thickener to help it set?

This cheesecake sets well without gelatin, thanks to the whipped cream. However, gelatin can be added for extra firmness if preferred.

How do I prevent the topping from cracking?

Since this is a no-bake cheesecake, cracking isn’t usually an issue. Just make sure it’s fully chilled before slicing for clean cuts.
