For the crust:
- 2 cups crushed Biscoff cookies (about 20 cookies)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the filling:
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup Biscoff cookie butter (plus extra for topping)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks
Optional toppings:
- Whipped cream
- Crushed Biscoff cookies
- Drizzled Biscoff cookie butter

Directions
- Make the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine crushed Biscoff cookies, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan or pie dish. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
- Prepare the filling: Beat the cream cheese, Biscoff cookie butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped cream until light and fluffy.
- Assemble the cheesecake: Pour the filling over the chilled crust, spreading evenly. Smooth the top and gently tap the pan to release air bubbles.
- Chill: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4–6 hours until fully set. For faster setting, freeze for 2–3 hours.
- Add toppings: Drizzle extra Biscoff cookie butter over the top. Garnish with whipped cream, crushed cookies, or caramel sauce as desired.
- Serve: Remove from the pan carefully. Slice and serve chilled for the ultimate creamy indulgence.

FAQs
Can I use store-bought Biscoff cookie butter?
Yes, store-bought Biscoff cookie butter works perfectly for this recipe.
Do I have to use a springform pan?
A springform pan is ideal for easy removal, but you can use a regular pie dish and serve directly.
How do I soften cream cheese quickly?
Leave it at room temperature for about 30 minutes or microwave in short bursts (10 seconds) until soft but not melted.
Can I make this cheesecake ahead?
Yes, it tastes even better after chilling overnight.
Can I use whipped cream from a can?
Freshly whipped cream is recommended for best texture and flavor.
Is this recipe gluten-free?
Biscoff cookies contain wheat, so this cheesecake is not gluten-free unless you use gluten-free cookies.
How do I get stiff peaks with whipped cream?
Make sure your cream is cold before whipping, and whip at medium-high speed until peaks hold firmly.
Can I substitute other nut butters?
Peanut butter or almond butter can be used but will change the flavor significantly.
What if I don’t have powdered sugar?
You can use granulated sugar, but powdered sugar dissolves better for a smooth filling.
How should I serve leftover cheesecake?
Keep chilled and serve cold; it can be topped with fresh fruit or extra cookie butter.
