How to make Biscoff Cheesecake
You can jump to the recipe card for full ingredients & instructions!
- Prepare the crust by combining the Biscoff cookie crumbs with sugar and then adding the melted butter, mixing until you have a wet sand consistency.
- Press the crust into the bottom of the pan, bake for 15 minutes, and then let it cool on a rack while you prepare your cheesecake filling.
- Make the cheesecake by combining cream cheese with sugar in a bowl of the stand mixer, beating for about two minutes before tossing in the Biscoff butter, sour cream, heavy cream, and salt.
- Beat these ingredients for a minute, add your eggs, beat again, and then add flour, mixing all your ingredients together before pouring the batter into your pan and smoothing it over the crust.
- Place foil around the sides and bottoms of the pan and set it in a larger baking dish filled with an inch of water, and then place in the oven to bake for 90 minutes.
- Tent a piece of foil over the cheesecake to keep it from browning. After you’ve baked it, let it sit in the oven with the oven turned off and the door closed for an hour to set.
- Next, prepare your Biscoff layer by heating the cookie batter for 30 seconds, pouring it over the cheesecake, and spreading it to the edges.
- Place your cheesecake in the fridge to chill for eight hours.
Recipe Notes
- Sour Cream: In the cheesecake batter, plain yogurt (Greek or regular) can be used in place of sour cream.
- Flour: In the cheesecake batter, 1¾ tablespoons of cornstarch may be used in place of 2½ tablespoons of flour.
Biscoff cookies are a type of shortbread cookie with a hint of caramel added to them. Biscoff cookies are sometimes referred to as cookie butter cookies because they have a similar taste to the Trader Joe’s famous Speculoos cookie butter!
You can buy Biscoff cookies and cookie butter at most local grocery stores. If not, you can order them on Amazon.
The best pan to use is a 9-inch springform pan.
Wrap the cheesecake in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil before putting it in the freezer to store it.
Cookie butter is similar to Nutella in texture, but tastes like a crushed up cookie. It is sweet and creamy and it’s easy to see why it’s such a popular treat!
Tips!
- When making the cheesecake, be sure to beat the cream cheese well at the beginning to ensure that it is smooth. If, when the cheesecake batter is complete, you still have lumps, simply press them against the side of the bowl using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula.
- Do not overmix the cheesecake batter as it will add air and result in uneven baking and can cause it to crack at the end.
- Be sure to leave the cheesecake in the oven for the hour after baking to rest. This allows the cheesecake to set, thus preventing or at least lowering the chances that the cheesecake top cracks.
This cheesecake incorporates the delicious flavor of cookie butter in the batter as well as the crust. If you know someone who is a fan of cookie butter or Biscoff cookies, they will love this cheesecake!
Can I make this cheesecake with a graham cracker crust?
Yes, you can do that if you’d prefer, but then it won’t have the same taste that the Biscoff cookies add to it.
What is the best way to crush up Biscoff cookies for the crust?
Place the cookies in a sandwich bag and roll over them with a rolling pin. You can also pulse them in a food processor.
What toppings go well with Biscoff cheesecake?
Crushed nuts, sliced strawberries, fresh raspberries, and even a caramel drizzle would all pair well with the Biscoff Cheesecake.

Did you make this? Leave a comment!
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!
