How to Make No-Bake Lotus Biscoff Cheesecake
Ingredients:
- 250g Lotus Biscoff cookies
- 100g unsalted butter, melted
- 400g cream cheese
- 100g powdered sugar
- 300ml heavy cream
- 200g Biscoff spread
- Toasted Biscoff cookies for garnish
Directions:
Step 1: Preparation
Crush the Lotus Biscoff cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or a rolling pin. This will give you the perfect base for your cheesecake.
Step 2: Mixing
Combine the crushed cookies with the melted unsalted butter in a bowl and mix well until the crumbs are evenly coated. This mixture serves as the crust for the cheesecake.
Step 3: Cooking
Press the cookie mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to form a solid crust. Place it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to set while you prepare the filling.
Step 4: Finishing
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, and gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture. Finally, add the Biscoff spread and mix until fully incorporated. Pour this creamy mixture over the chilled crust, smoothing the top. Refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours, or overnight, to allow it to set completely. When ready to serve, garnish with toasted Biscoff cookies for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.
How to Serve No-Bake Lotus Biscoff Cheesecake

Expert Tips for Perfect No-Bake Lotus Biscoff Cheesecake

- Ensure your springform pan is well-sealed to prevent the filling from leaking out while it sets.
