Ingredients

For the perfect NO-BAKE BISCOFF CHEESECAKE, you'll need these ingredients:

• 200g Biscoff cookies (for the crust)
• 80g melted butter
• 500g cream cheese (softened at room temperature)
• 200g Biscoff spread (plus extra for topping)
• 100g powdered sugar
• 300ml heavy cream
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Caramel sauce (optional, for drizzling)

Ingredient Tips & Substitutions

• If you can't find Biscoff cookies, speculoos or ginger snaps make a good substitute.
• For a lighter version, swap heavy cream with coconut cream (ensure it's chilled for proper whipping).
• A dairy-free cream cheese alternative works well for a lactose-free version.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your NO-BAKE BISCOFF CHEESECAKE:

1. Crush the Biscoff cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin.
2. Mix the cookie crumbs with melted butter until evenly coated.
3. Press the mixture firmly into a heart-shaped (or round) springform pan to form the base. Place in the fridge to set for 15 minutes.
4. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, Biscoff spread, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
5. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
6. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
7. Spread the filling over the chilled cookie base and smooth the top with a spatula.
8. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to let it set.
9. Before serving, warm a few tablespoons of Biscoff spread and drizzle it over the cheesecake.
10. Decorate with extra crushed Biscoff cookies and a caramel sauce drizzle.

Pro Tips

• Ensure your cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps.
• A chilled bowl helps whip the cream faster.
• For clean slices, dip a knife in hot water before cutting.
