How to Make Biscoff Cheesecake

Prepare the Crust

Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper and set aside. Crush the Biscoff cookies using a food processor or place them in a Ziploc bag and crush with a rolling pin until very fine. Transfer the crumbs to a medium bowl, stir in melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand, and press it into the bottom (and slightly up the sides) of the prepared pan. Chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the cheesecake filling.

Make the Cheesecake Filling

Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sugar, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Beat until very smooth and creamy, with no lumps of cream cheese. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated.

Pour the cheesecake batter over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Bake in a Water Bath

Place an empty pan or tray on the bottom oven rack and add about 1 inch of hot water. Place the cheesecake on the middle rack and bake for 65–70 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly. Allow the cheesecake to cool completely at room temperature before transferring to the refrigerator. Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best texture.

Add Toppings and Serve

Release the cheesecake from the pan using an offset spatula or skewer. Pour warmed, runny Biscoff spread over the top and smooth it evenly. Crumble a few Biscoff cookies and sprinkle on top as garnish. Slice and serve chilled.

Tips for Success

• Use room-temperature ingredients to ensure a smooth, lump-free cheesecake.
• Don’t skip the water bath—it prevents cracking and keeps the texture silky.
• Chill the cheesecake thoroughly before adding the Biscoff spread topping.
• Use an offset spatula for smooth, professional-looking ganache or spread layers.
• Crumble cookies just before serving to maintain a crisp texture.

Equipment Needed

• 9-inch springform pan
• Parchment paper
• Electric hand mixer or stand mixer
• Rolling pin or food processor (for crushing cookies)
• Medium mixing bowls
• Offset spatula or regular spatula

Recipe Variations

• Double Biscoff Cheesecake: Swirl Biscoff spread into the filling before baking for extra flavor.
• Chocolate Biscoff Cheesecake: Add a layer of chocolate ganache over the Biscoff spread topping.
• Mini Cheesecakes: Bake in muffin tins for single-serve portions.
• Crunchy Biscoff Topping: Mix crushed Biscoff cookies with a touch of melted butter and sprinkle over the spread for extra texture.

Serving Suggestions

Serve chilled with a drizzle of extra Biscoff spread, crumbled cookies, or a dollop of whipped cream. Pairs beautifully with coffee, tea, or a cold glass of milk.
