Biscoff No Bake Cheesecake

Post image for Biscoff No Bake Cheesecake

I think it’s fair to say I am not the best traveler in the world. Big airports give me anxiety. I’m claustrophobic, so the bathrooms on planes are out of the question. And sitting so close to random people in a confined space? Makes me itchy, twitchy, and miserable. Especially when your row mate eats a Caesar salad for dinner and then falls asleep with their mouth agape 6 inches from your face.

It was sort of good that the fellow passed out, though. I was tired of trying to covertly read 50 Shades of Gray on my iPad without him glancing over and catching a glimpse of the naughty words. That book is something else – and that’s the last of my words on that particular subject.

Despite my utter disdain for traveling, my recent trip to Kansas City with Gold Medal Flour did have some amazing positives: fantastic people, incredible food, and I got to tour a factory and get up close and personal with a combine. More on that experience will come later this month. Just know: it was pretty awesome.

While intermittently holding my breath and attempting to breath through my mouth instead of my nose due to said sleeping man, I decided to distract myself with 15 minutes of free internet and Biscoff Cookies – thank you, Delta. I always forget how delightful these crisp, caramelly cookies are. As I munched away, happily distracted from Caesar-breath, the idea for No Bake Biscoff Cheesecakes was born.

Imagine a crisp, cookie crumb foundation topped with a deadly combination of Biscoff Spread, cream cheese and Cool Whip. While it’s an incredible simple dessert to prepare, any crowd you serve it to is going to be wowed by your creativity and Biscoff genius.

The fact that this Biscoff cheesecake isn’t baked makes it perfect for Summer. I don’t know about where you are, but it’s seven shades of Hades here in Ohio today, and just the thought of turning on my oven made me sweat a little. Cold, creamy and full of cinnamon – that is what I’m all about with this cheesecake.

Biscoff No Bake Cheesecake

Yield: 4-6 servings

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

For the Crust

12 Biscoff cookies, crushed into crumbs
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the Filling

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2/3 cup Biscoff Spread
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 (8 ounce) tub frozen whipped topping, thawed

For the Garnish

whipped topping, optional
Biscoff cookie crumbs, optional

Directions:

1. In a medium bowl, stir together the Biscoff cookie crumbs and melted butter. Evenly divide the crumbs between your individual serving dishes and press into the bottoms of the dishes to form a crust layer.

2. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and Biscoff Spread on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy, about 3 minutes. Add vanilla and mix to combine. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the whipped topping until well blended and no streaks remain.

3. Evenly pipe or spoon the filling into individual serving dishes. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

4. If desired, garnish with additional whipped topping and Biscoff cookie crumbs.

Notes:

- I have not tried this recipe using fresh whipped cream, so I cannot attest to the results.

- The small glass bowls were purchased from Pier 1. Spoons are from Ikea.

- If you've never seen Biscoff Cookies or Spread, head over to their site and find a retailer near you that stocks the items.

I’m so sorry you didn’t have a good flight. Some of the nicest people I meet in airports/airplanes. But that ceaser breath would disturb me too :S Yeck.

These little cheesecakes look great! I love Delta for their free snacks (especially the peanuts I love peanuts!!!!) But the biscoff cookies are great too :)

I can’t wait to try this! I’m glad you shared that you purchased the dishes at Pier 1 ~ I suspected it and you were nice enough to confirm. :-) I love, love individual desserts these days and yes, NOT having to use the oven. It’s hotter than Hades here and we are forecast our first triple digits for this summer. I cannot tell you how much I hate Texas summers!

Glad you had a great trip and, like you, I’m claustrophobic too. The worst seat is the middle, in my opinion, although I dislike the window seats too. Give me an aisle and I feel like I have a getaway. LOL

Don’t feel bad, I had to look it up too. “Biscoff Spread is a sweet creamy spread made with Biscoff cookies (57%). Enjoy it just like a chocolate spread or peanut butter” (biscoff.com) Now I just have to figure out where to find this stuff. World Market maybe?

Sara – not sure where you are in MS, but I’m in Starkville and our local Wal-Mart has BOTH the spread (by the Peanut Butter), and the cookies. I’ve had the spread and it is dangerously delicious. I bought a jar to try it and between my husband and I, it was gone within 24 hours! :) You can also go to Biscoff’s website and look-up where your nearest Biscoff retailer is. Good luck! :)

PS. I have just found the information that they are supposed to be exactly like Speculaas, but I ate different kind of Speculaas and they’re nothing like Biscoff cookies. They just don’t’ taste the same – Biscoff is much more sweet, have rich caramel-y taste while Speculoos have a distinctive earthy, spicy taste, foremost of cinnamon and ginger. And while I can find Speculaas in supermarkets, I’ve seen Lotus only in cafes.

Hi! I’ve been addicted to the biscoff biscuits for years after a trip to Europe but oddly I can’t find the spread ANYWHERE in the UK :(
Your cheesecakes look fantastic, so I was wondering if I would be able to make my own paste?
I haven’t tasted their spread before so I can’t judge as to what’s in it. Any help would be great :D
Also we don’t have whipped topping here so if i can make the paste I’ll be making the cheesecake with whipped cream and will let you know how it goes :)

I pinned this months ago, but just finally got around to making it. It was wonderful!!!

It was easy to make, looks lovely, and received highest reviews from everyone at the table today. Thank you!
