Ingredients
All of the ingredients should be softened to room temperature for easy mixing. Once the filling is poured into the crust
- Biscoff Cookies – Also known as Lotus cookies or biscuits, these buttery spiced cookies are crisp and delicious, with a caramel flavor and a unique blend of warm spices. If you can’t find them at your grocery store, Target, and Costco usually have them.
- Cream Cheese – Really important to use a full-fat brick of cream cheese. It’s really the base of the cheesecake and the fat is necessary to create that ultra creamy and indulgent filling.
- Biscoff Cookie Butter – This creamy spread is a great alternative to nut butter because it has the same texture but is still nut-free. You can also find this at Target.
- Cool Whip – Be sure to thaw this first by leaving it out on the counter to thaw for about an hour. You can choose to make your own whipped cream as an alternative; there are instructions in the recipe notes.
- Additional Ingredients – Butter, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract.
How To Make Biscoff Cheesecake
This Biscoff Cookie Cheesecake takes under 30 minutes to prep before a chill in the fridge.
See recipe card below for ingredient quantities and full instructions.
Crush Cookies. Crush up the Biscoff cookies into a fine crumb in a food processor or a Ziplock bag.
Make Crust. Mix the crumbs with melted butter and press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, coming up the edges a little bit. Pop in the fridge or freezer to chill while you make the filling.
Mix. Using a hand mixer, beat the softened cream cheese, cookie butter, sugar, salt, and vanilla in a medium bowl until smooth, then gently fold in the Cool Whip.
Refrigerate. Spread the filling over cookie crust and chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours or even overnight until firm.
Serve. When you’re ready to serve, you can run a thin knife around the edge to loosen then carefully release the spring and remove the ring. To make it presentation ready for a party I like to drizzle it with melted cookie butter or even caramel before sprinkling with crushed Biscoff cookies.
Cool Whip Substitute
To make your homemade whipped cream for this recipe, you need 1 ½ cups of heavy whipping cream, ½ cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Cream together the cookie butter, cream cheese, and salt, then make the whipped cream in a separate bowl.
Beat heavy cream until foamy, then add powdered sugar and vanilla. Beat until stiff peaks form, then fold gently into the cream cheese mixture.
Recipe FAQs
You can find cookie butter at most grocery stores near the nut butters and jams.
Biscoff cookies are shortbread cookies that have a deep caramel flavor.
Cookie butter is great spread on graham crackers, on toast, with apple slices, or even by the spoonful!
Storage
- Storage – It can be stored in the fridge covered for up to 4 days.
- Freezing – The cheesecake can be frozen for up to 3 months. I recommend double wrapping. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.
Helpful Tips
- Refrigerate until ready to serve – Make sure to keep in the fridge until you are ready to slice and serve. If it warms up at room temperature, it will be trickier to get clean slices.
- Crushing the Cookies – To quickly crush up the cookies you can pulse them in a food processor. Or you can add to a bag and use a rolling pan to crush up into a fine crumb.
- Use a Measuring Cup to Flatten – When pressing the cookie crust into the pan you can use the flat bottom of a measuring cup to press it into a flat, even layer and press it against the sides.
- No springform pan? If you don’t have a springform pan, you can use a pie plate, but it will need to be served from the plate as it won’t be easily removed.
- Room Temperature Cream Cheese – It needs to be softened to room temperature in order to make a smooth filling. If you forget to set the cream cheese out, you can unwrap and remove the foil wrapping and microwave for 10-15 seconds.

The fact that this does not require baking is a real bonus but it does not compromise the taste at all. This recipe was easy and turned out delicious. It was a huge hit at my Christmas party. My only regret was tasting the cookie butter out of the jar, it’s so delicious I could eat the entire jar.
