HOW TO MAKE BISCOFF CHEESECAKE?
Step 1: Crush digestive biscuits until they're as crumbly as your weekend plans.
Step 2: Combine the crumbs with the melted butter, mixing until you've got the texture of a wet, sandy beach.
Step 3: Press this mixture into the bottom of your springform pan, packing it down tightly. Pop it in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes while you move on to the Biscoff cream cheesecake filling.
Step 4: In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese with sugar and eggs till it’s smooth as your favorite dance move.
Step 5: Now add cream, flour, and vanilla extract, blending everything gently with a spatula. Whisk in Biscoff spread, giving your lotus cheesecake filling the perfect amount of spice and everything nice.
Step 6: Pour over the baked Biscoff cheesecake crust, smoothing it to iron out any air bubbles.
Step 7: Lower the temperature of your oven and then bake this masterpiece of a Biscoff cheesecake recipe for 50 to 60 minutes until it's set on top but slightly jiggly in the center.
Step 8: Turn off the oven and crack the door open a bit, letting your cheesecake cool down slowly. Patience is key here (just like in life).
Step 9: Once your cheesecake has cooled to room temperature, chill it in the fridge for 6 to 8 hours, or preferably overnight. Do not skip this step.
Final step: Slice, serve, and savor the plot twist from the Lotus Biscoff spread!
HOW TO SERVE THE LOTUS CHEESECAKE
Yes, you can absolutely serve the cookie butter cheesecake plain. Because it’s not just a cheesecake. It’s a way of life. But trust me, it warrants calling for a drizzle of melted Lotus Biscoff spread or maybe some dark chocolate.
NOTES FOR EASY BISCOFF CHEESECAKE
- Use room-temperature ingredients. They don’t lump up, forcing you to overbeat.
- If you’re pressed for time, nuke the cream cheese in the microwave to soften it.
- Don’t over-mix the biscoff cheesecake filling. The minute it’s smooth and homogenous, stop. Too much mixing adds air.
- Ditch the whisk or stand mixer and use the spatula to combine the ingredients, and you’ll have a dense, creamy cheesecake.
- Line the base and sides of the spring form cake pan with foil for mess-free baking, in case of any leaks.
- Bake the crust to keep it from getting soggy.
- The trick to velvety Biscoff cheesecake recipes is baking at low temperatures.
- Let the cake bake undisturbed. Resisting the urge to peek prevents cracking; trust the process! Check for doneness at about 50 minutes.
- Let the cheesecake cool gradually. Don’t take it out of the oven or open the door wide. The drastic drop in temperature will crack it.
- If your cheesecake does crack, don't panic. It will still taste as good and you can always hide the cracks with some topping!
- Embrace patience. Chill it for as long as you can for a creamier consistency.
COOKIE BUTTER CHEESECAKE SWAPS & SUBS
Biscuit: Marie biscuits are my go-to for cheesecake recipes. For this Biscoff cheesecake recipe, I used digestive cookies.
Graham Crackers or Lotus Biscoff will do too. Or you can mix and match.

Tried this Biscoff cheesecake recipe and it turned out absolutely delicious! The texture was super creamy and smooth, and that rich caramelized flavor from Biscoff spread really makes it stand out. I also loved how well the biscuit base complemented the filling—everything just worked together perfectly. It honestly tasted like something you’d get from a good bakery.
One quick question—did you use Lotus Biscoff biscuits for the base, or would any similar caramel biscuit work just as well?

Thank you Ishan! So glad you enjoyed this cheesecake! I used digestive cookies, but you can easily use Graham crackers, Lotus Biscoff cookies, or Marie biscuits.
This Biscoff cheesecake looks absolutely irresistible! The flavor combination of creamy cheesecake and those crunchy Biscoff cookies is genius. Do you think this recipe would work well with a gluten-free crust, or would that change the texture too much?
