Making the Most of Your Biscoff Cheesecake
Preparing this cheesecake in advance is an excellent way to save time on the day of your event.

Just be sure to let it chill for at least four hours before serving to achieve that perfectly set texture.
When serving, slice the cheesecake with a warm knife for clean cuts, and consider pairing it with a cup of coffee or tea to complement its flavors. The Biscoff cheesecake makes a fantastic conversation starter, as guests won't be able to resist asking for your secret ingredient.
Ingredients
For the Crust
- 2 cups Biscoff cookies, crushed
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Filling
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Biscoff spread
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
For the Topping
- 1/2 cup Biscoff spread, melted
- Whipped cream (optional)
Mix the ingredients well for a smooth consistency.
Instructions
Prepare the Crust
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Biscoff cookies and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan.
Make the Filling
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the Biscoff spread, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Bake the Cheesecake
Pour the filling over the crust and smooth the top. Bake for 1 hour or until the center is set. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door ajar for 1 hour.
Add the Topping
Once cooled, spread the melted Biscoff topping evenly over the cheesecake. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
Storing Your Cheesecake
To keep your Biscoff cheesecake fresh for longer, store it in an airtight container or cover it tightly with plastic wrap. This will prevent any unwanted odors from other foods in your fridge from affecting the cheesecake's flavor. Ensure that the cheesecake is adequately cooled before storing it.
If you plan on making the cheesecake ahead of time, it can be frozen for up to three months. Just be sure to wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. When you’re ready to enjoy it, allow it to thaw in the refrigerator overnight for the best texture.
Tips for Success
To ensure a smooth and creamy cheesecake filling, always use softened cream cheese. Allow it to sit at room temperature for at least an hour before mixing. This will prevent any lumps and help you achieve that velvety texture that makes this dessert so appealing.
Be mindful of overmixing once you add the eggs. Mix on low speed and just until combined to prevent incorporating too much air, which can lead to cracks in the cheesecake as it bakes.
Healthier Alternatives
For those looking to make a lighter version of this delightful cheesecake, consider substituting reduced-fat cream cheese and Greek yogurt for the fillings. While the taste may vary slightly, these alternatives can significantly decrease the overall calorie count while still providing a deliciously satisfying dessert.
You can also explore making a no-bake version of this cheesecake by setting the filling with gelatin or simply chilling it until firm. This method reduces oven time and keeps the kitchen cooler, especially during hot summer months.
Questions About Recipes
→ Can I use a different cookie for the crust?
Yes, you can use Graham crackers or Oreos if you prefer.
→ How can I store leftovers?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
