Easy Homemade Biscoff Cheesecake Recipe
Biscoff cookies are a type of shortbread cookie with a hint of caramel. They are sometimes referred to as cookie butter cookies because they have a similar taste to Trader Joe’s famous Speculoos cookie butter.
I’ve always enjoyed eating Biscoff cookies with a cup of hot coffee or tea in the morning, and now I’ve taken this delicious flavor and created a real showstopper of a dessert. This Biscoff Cheesecake recipe is creamy, decadent, and full of cookie butter flavor.
Tips for Beginners
- Beat the cream cheese well at the beginning to ensure it is smooth. If you still have lumps when the cheesecake batter is complete, press them against the side of the bowl using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula.
- Do not overmix the batter. This adds air and results in uneven baking, and can cause it to crack at the end.
- Leave the cheesecake in the oven for an hour after baking. This allows the cheesecake to set, thus preventing or at least lowering the chances that the top cracks.
- Graham cracker crust works too. Though you will lose the amazing Biscoff cookie flavor, you can make a graham cracker crust.
- To make Biscoff cookie crumbs. Place the cookies in a sandwich bag and roll them over with a rolling pin. You can also pulse them in a food processor.

- Place the springform pan into a larger baking pan or broiler pan. Fill the larger pan with enough hot water to come 1 inch up the sides of the springform pan. Place both pans into the oven to bake for 90 minutes. To prevent the cheesecake from browning excessively, you may want to tent a piece of foil over the surface of the cheesecake after 45 minutes of baking, ensuring that the foil does not touch the cheesecake surface.

- Place the cheesecake into the refrigerator to chill for 8 hours.
- Once chilled, remove the foil from the cheesecake. Run a butter knife around the inside edge of the springform pan to release the cheesecake from the pan. Release the springform and remove the sides from the cheesecake. Place the cheesecake onto a serving platter or cake stand, cut into 12-15 slices and serve.

How to Make Biscoff Cheesecake Step by Step

Gather the crust ingredients: Pull out the crust ingredients, preheat the oven to 350°F, and line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper and gently spray the sides of the pan with baking spray. Set aside.

Make the crust: Combine 3 cups crushed Biscoff cookies, ½ cup unsalted butter, and ¼ cup granulated sugar, and mix until it looks like wet sand.

Press the mixture into the bottom of the springform pan and bake for 15 minutes. Let the crust cool on a cooling rack while you make the filling.

Gather the ingredients for the cheesecake filling.

Make the filling: Combine 32 oz. cream cheese with 1 cup sugar in the bowl of the stand mixer. Beat for 2 minutes.
Then add 1¼ cups heavy cream, ½ cup Biscoff cookie butter, ⅓ cup sour cream, and 1 tsp kosher salt.
Finally, add 4 eggs, beat again, and then add 2½ tbsp all-purpose flour, mixing all ingredients before pouring the batter into the pan over the crust.

Bake the cheesecake: Place foil around the sides and bottoms of the springform pan and set it in a larger baking dish filled with an inch of water, and then place it in the oven to bake for 90 minutes.

To prevent the cheesecake from browning, tent a piece of foil over it. After it’s finished baking, let it sit in the oven with the oven turned off, and the door closed for an hour to set.

Make the Biscoff layer and chill: Heat ⅔ cup Biscoff cookie butter for 30 seconds, pour it over the cheesecake, and spread it to the edges.
Place your cheesecake in the fridge to chill for eight hours.

Serve: Serve the cheesecake and enjoy.
How to Store
Store leftover cheesecake in the fridge, wrapped tightly, for 3-4 days.
Wrap the cheesecake in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil before putting it in the freezer. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before enjoying again.

Serving Suggestions
This Biscoff cheesecake is the perfect way to end a meal. When I serve it for the holidays, I usually prepare a honey glazed ham with a side of garlic mashed cauliflower, and for something green, I love making these green beans almondine.

Was very egg tasting and nothing like cheesecake. Like a doughy custard cake.
What did you use to decorate the top of the cake? Is it icing of some sort? Or some of the cheesecake filling in a piping bag?
Hi Maureen, we used our favorite vanilla frosting recipe (click here!) with some Biscoff cookie butter folded in!
Absolutely delicious, this is the first cheesecake I’ve ever made and everyone was so impressed!
That looks great, Mikayla! Thanks so much for sharing!
what did you use for the swirls on top? i dont see any directions for them
We added some Biscoff spread to our favorite vanilla frosting recipe!
I changed the recipe up a little bit by doing Nutella in the cheesecake instead of the cookie butter and did a combo topping, but this is so good! Turned out nice a creamy, and it’s rich so it only needs a small piece to satisfy my sweet craving. Will def make again and try variations in flavors.
Delicious! Made this for a family member’s birthday and a mini for me to taste. Next time, I’ll use confectioners sugar in the crust. The granulated sugar gave the crust a grainy texture. Mixed Biscoff butter in Italian meringue buttercream for decoration. Definitely a keeper!! Thank you.
That looks wonderful, Freda! Thanks so much for sharing what worked for you!
OMG simply the best cheesecake ever. Not as sweet as I feared. Even those who are not Biscoff fans devoured it. My go-to dessert for company from now on! Thank you thank you!!
I followed the recipe pretty strictly (I do the first time I bake a new recipe then I meddle). I wanted to add cookies to the body (batter) like I do w/an oreo cheesecake, so I broke up into medium sized pieces 15 biscoff cookies and stirred them into the batter just before filling the pan. I wanted that “dripped wax” look with the glaze so I waited until the next day when the cake had been in the fridge overnight before I added it. I used more cookie butter for glaze than called for (about a cup) and poured it onto the middle then tilted the cake around to get the glaze to run to the edges. I had to pour a bit more in several spots at the cake edge to get it to drip down the sides. After plating it, I added the whipped cream and a half cookie to each piece for presentation. Overall I’m pretty happy with it. It’s incredibly rich so I cut smaller pieces than I usually do. Everyone who has tasted it has raved about this.
WOW! That looks amazing, Matt!
What is piped on the top? More Biscoff spread in piping bag? Or is that whipped Creme with some spread mixed in?
It’s buttercream frosting with biscoff! We started with this recipe: https://www.thecookierookie.com/chocolate-buttercream-icing-recipe/
Do you just replace the cocoa with cookie butter?
We used 1 cup butter and 1 cup cookie butter. Just leave the cocoa powder out!
This is the best cheese cake I have ever tasted in my life 😋!
Wow, what a compliment!
