• Mixing bowls (a couple will do)
• Hand mixer or stand mixer

Let’s Talk Ingredients

Alright, it’s time to line up our delicious cast. Every ingredient plays a role in making this Biscoff Cheesecake the dreamy dessert it is.

For the Cookie Crust:

• 1 package (250g) Biscoff cookies – crushed to crumbly perfection
• 1/3 cup (75g) unsalted butter – melted and ready to bind all that cookie magic

For the Biscoff Cheesecake Filling:

• 4 blocks (907g total) cream cheese – softened to dreamy smoothness
• 1 cup (200g) brown sugar – adds warmth and depth
• 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar – for that balanced sweetness
• 1/2 cup (120g) sour cream – for a tangy twist and silky texture
• 1 cup (240g) Biscoff cookie butter – the heart of this beauty
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract – just enough to round it all out
• 1/4 teaspoon salt – because salt in sweets is a quiet hero
• 4 large eggs – room temp, please (they mix better and keep your batter smooth)

To Decorate (Optional but So Worth It):

• 1/2 cup Biscoff spread – gently melted for drizzling
• 1/4 cup Biscoff cookies – crushed into golden, crunchy sprinkles

Let’s Make the Biscoff Cheesecake (Step-by-Step Magic)

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

First things first—preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Place the oven rack in the middle position. Wrap the outside of your springform pan with a couple of layers of heavy-duty foil. This will help keep the water bath from seeping in later. Trust me, no one wants a soggy crust.

Step 2: Make That Buttery Cookie Crust

In a food processor (or with a rolling pin and a zip-top bag if you’re feeling rustic), crush your Biscoff cookies until they’re fine crumbs. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the melted butter until the mixture feels like damp sand.

Pour it into your pan and press it down evenly—don’t forget to push up the sides a bit for that full-on cookie hug around your Biscoff Cheesecake. Use the bottom of a glass to help pack it in nice and tight. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then let it cool while you move on to the star of the show.

Step 3: Whip Up the Dreamy Biscoff Cheesecake Filling

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. No lumps here—we’re aiming for cloud texture. Blend in the brown and white sugars, mixing until the texture is smooth and everything is well incorporated.

Fold in the sour cream, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Next, add the rich Biscoff cookie butter, blending it all together until you have a smooth, luscious batter.

Crack in the eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition. Don’t overmix here—just blend until it’s incorporated. Mixing too much can lead to cracks – and we’re keeping things stress-free today.

Step 4: Assemble and Bake

Pour that luscious batter over your cooled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula and gently tap the pan on the counter to release any air bubbles.

Place the foil-wrapped springform pan inside a larger baking dish and fill the outer dish with hot water halfway up the sides of your Biscoff Cheesecake pan. This is your water bath—your cheesecake’s cozy sauna. It keeps things creamy and prevents cracking.

Bake for 60 to 70 minutes, until the center is just slightly jiggly. Think: set edges, soft middle.

Step 5: Cool it Down, Chill it Out

Once done, crack the oven door open slightly and let the Biscoff Cheesecake sit inside for an hour. This gentle cool-down helps prevent sudden temperature shock (because cheesecakes are a little… delicate).

After an hour, transfer it to the counter and cool completely. Then cover and chill in the fridge for at least 6 hours, but overnight is even better. Good things come to those who wait.

Step 6: Add the Sweet Finishing Touch

Before serving, warm your Biscoff spread just enough so it’s pourable but not hot. Drizzle it over the top of your Biscoff Cheesecake in lovely swirls—or just pour it on thick. No judgment.

Sprinkle the crushed Biscoff cookies over the top for a final crunch. And there it is—your masterpiece!

Pro Tips from My (Crumb-Filled) Kitchen

• Room temp is key – cold ingredients won’t blend smoothly, and we want velvet here, not bumps.
• Water bath = lifesaver – yes, it’s an extra step, but it’s the difference between bakery-level cheesecake and a cracked science experiment.
• Chill time matters – don’t skip or skimp. The texture transforms after a good night’s rest in the fridge.
• No food processor? No problem. A zip bag and a rolling pin are therapeutic and effective.

A Little Biscoff Cheesecake Story…

I made this Biscoff Cheesecake for the first time on a rainy Sunday when the kids were bouncing off the walls, and I desperately needed something sweet (and silent). They were skeptical—“What’s Biscoff?”—but after one bite, they were hooked.

Now, it’s become our celebration cake. Birthdays? Cheesecake. Good report card? Cheesecake. Just made it through a Tuesday without chaos? Cheesecake.

And the best part? It’s the one dessert I don’t mind making again and again—because it always turns out great, and it always brings smiles. (Also, I get the first slice. Chef’s rights.)

How to Store Your Biscoff Cheesecake (If There’s Any Left…)

Looks like a couple of pieces made it through untouched, huh? First of all—impressive restraint!

Here’s how to keep your Biscoff Cheesecake fresh and fabulous:

In the Fridge:

To store your Biscoff cheesecake, either keep it whole in the pan or cut into portions, then cover well with cling film or seal in a container. It’ll stay fresh in the refrigerator for about five days. The taste gets even better after a day or two, turning those leftovers into something special.

In the Freezer:

Want to save some for later? No problem! Wrap individual slices in plastic wrap, then again in foil, and place them in a freezer-safe bag. Freeze for up to 2 months.

To serve, just thaw in the fridge overnight. It tastes just as decadent—maybe even better, because you didn’t have to make it again.

Quick Tip: Skip freezing it with the topping—wait until after it’s thawed to add that, so the texture stays just right.

Nutrition Breakdown: What’s Inside This Slice of Sweetness?

Okay, let’s be real: this isn’t a salad. But if you’re going to indulge (and oh, you should), it’s nice to know what you’re working with. This Biscoff cheesecake is creamy, rich, and made from scratch using simple, honest ingredients—no artificial stuff, just deliciousness in every bite.

While this treat is definitely on the indulgent side, it also packs a little protein, some calcium, and a touch of iron from the cream cheese and eggs. And since it’s homemade, you control the quality of the ingredients.

Whether you savor a small slice or dive fork-first into a generous wedge (no judgment!), you’re getting a dessert that satisfies both your sweet tooth and your soul.

Nutritional values are calculated per piece, assuming the dessert is divided into 12 equal portions:

Note: These values are approximate and can vary depending on your specific ingredients.

Let’s Talk Time: How Long Does Biscoff Cheesecake Take?

Okay, we’re not going to sugarcoat it—this isn’t a 30-minute dessert. But oh honey, it’s so worth the wait. Think of this as your “make-ahead magic” dessert. It’s perfect for prepping the night before a birthday, brunch, or “just because it’s Tuesday” celebration.

Here’s how the time breaks down:

• Prep Time: 25 minutes
  (That includes crushing cookies, whipping up the batter, and sneaking a few spoonfuls. Totally part of the process.)
• Cook Time: 70 minutes
  (Your oven handles this while you scroll, sip coffee, or catch up on your shows.)
• Cooling Time (in oven + countertop): 2 hours
  (Slow and steady keeps your Biscoff Cheesecake from cracking—trust the process.)
• Chilling Time (fridge): 6 hours minimum
  (Overnight is ideal. The flavors mingle, the texture sets, and it all becomes sliceable perfection.)
• Total Time: Around 9 hours
  (Yes, it’s a long game, but most of that time? Hands off. Your fridge is doing the hard work.)

Yield & Cuisine

• Yield: 12 generous slices (or 16 smaller ones if you’re sharing with extra friends—or kids who think they want a “small piece”)
• Cuisine: American with a European twist
  (Thanks to those irresistibly spiced Biscoff cookies from Belgium—it’s an international dessert dream.)

Whether it’s a weekend treat or a midweek pick-me-up, this Biscoff Cheesecake has a way of making everything feel just a little more special. It’s the kind of dessert that doesn’t just satisfy your sweet tooth—it brings a moment of calm, a little indulgence, and a whole lot of joy. So the next time life gets messy (hello, peanut butter hair moments), remember you’ve got a creamy, spiced, cookie-laced slice of comfort just a few steps away. Go ahead—make it, share it, and savor every bite. You’ve earned it.

Frequently Asked Questions About Biscoff Cheesecake

Is there an alternative I can use instead of Biscoff spread?

Sure! While Biscoff cookie butter brings that signature spiced caramel flavor, you can swap it with another cookie spread or even peanut butter in a pinch. Just know it’ll change the flavor profile a bit—but it’ll still be delicious.

What if I don’t have a springform pan?

You can use a deep pie dish or a regular cake pan lined with parchment. Just be sure to grease well and adjust your baking time slightly. A springform pan just makes serving this easy cheesecake recipe a little neater.

Can I bake this Biscoff cheesecake without needing a water bath?

You can bake your Biscoff Cheesecake without a water bath, but you may notice some cracks on the top. If you’re okay with that (and planning to drizzle Biscoff spread on top anyway), go for it! The flavor will still be amazing.

Can I freeze the whole Biscoff Cheesecake?

Yes! Wrap the entire (cooled) cheesecake tightly in plastic wrap and foil, then freeze. Before serving, let it defrost in the refrigerator overnight to bring it back to the perfect texture. Just wait to add the topping until after thawing for the best texture.

What’s the shelf life for any extras kept in the refrigerator?

Your Biscoff Cheesecake will stay fresh for up to 5 days when stored in an airtight container. In fact, the flavor gets even better after the first day—it’s the magic of a well-rested dessert!
