Baked Biscoff Cheesecake Recipe
Lotus Biscoff cookies are a classic for a reason. I've loved them ever since I was young -- my dad, a flight attendant for Continental Airlines, used to bring Biscoff to us all the time because they handed them out as in-flight snacks. For so long, I've loved the richly spiced flavor and buttery crunch of those amazing cookies, and it's so exciting to discover new ways to use them in baking, including my fudgy Biscoff Brownies!
That's why I love this cheesecake so much! It's got it all -- a Biscoff cookie crust, a creamy vanilla cheesecake layer flavored with cookie butter, and a topping of even more cookie butter and Biscoff cookie crumbs!

What does Biscoff taste like?
You haven't had Lotus Biscoff cookies?! I'm so excited for you to try them! They have a delicately spiced, caramelized flavor that is so irresistible! They are similar to gingerbread cookies, graham crackers, or other spiced cookies. They're so great -- and even better in this cheesecake recipe!

Why is Lotus Biscoff so popular?
Trust me -- once you try them, you'll know! They have an addictive flavor and a perfectly crispy texture that goes with so many other flavors! I've used biscoff cookies in my Biscoff Blondies with White Chocolate and my No-Churn Blackberry Cheesecake Ice Cream with Biscoff Cookie Swirl, and they're always a highlight of the recipe!
Biscoff Cheesecake Ingredients
Here's what you need for the Biscoff cheesecake crust:
- Biscoff crumbs - you can use a food processor to crush your Biscoff cookies, or you can crush them in a plastic bag with a rolling pin until they form fine crumbs. If you can't find Lotus Biscoff cookies, any speculoos-type cookie will work!
- melted butter - I typically use salted butter, but if you use unsalted just add in ¼ teaspoon of salt to your crust mixture.
- brown sugar - I love the flavor that light brown sugar adds to this Biscoff cheesecake crust!
And for the cheesecake filling, you'll need:
- softened cream cheese - your cream cheese should be soft, but still cool to the touch.
- cookie butter - the amazing, creamy richness of cookie butter is the secret ingredient in this cheesecake!
- brown sugar - I love the flavor of brown sugar with the cookie butter and vanilla flavors in this cheesecake filling.
- cornstarch - we'll add a little cornstarch to help prevent cracking. The cornstarch eliminates the need for a water bath, but we're only using a little to keep our cheesecake nice and creamy.
- pure vanilla extract - be sure to use a high-quality pure vanilla extract. Or better yet, check out my post on how to make vanilla extract at home with just 2 ingredients!
- full-fat sour cream - adds to the creamy texture of this cheesecake! Be sure to use full-fat sour cream for the best texture.
- eggs - make sure your eggs are room temperature before adding them into your cheesecake batter.
Equipment
I recommend using a 9-inch springform pan to make your baked Biscoff cheesecake easy to remove from the pan once it's cooled. Here's the one I use! If you don't have a springform pan, you can use any deep 9-inch cake pan, lined with parchment paper with an overhang to make removal easier.
You'll also need an electric mixer to whip up your cheesecake batter, and either a food processor or rolling pin to make your crust.
Tips and F.A.Q.
I usually pick up both of them at Target, but you can also find other varieties of speculoos cookies and cookie butter on Amazon. I know I've been calling this a Biscoff cheesecake, but any brand of speculoos cookie or cookie butter works great!
The key ingredients of Biscoff cookies are wheat flour, sugar, and vegetable oil, and cinnamon. Together, they give Biscoff cookies their distinctive buttery, caramelized, spiced flavor and make this cheesecake so incredible!
"Biscoff" is a combination of "biscuits" and "coffee," a nod to the typical way of enjoying Biscoff cookies, as a treat with a cup of coffee.
You can store your cheesecake in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to two months. To freeze, allow your cheesecake to chill completely in the fridge, then transfer, uncovered to the freezer until solid. Once frozen solid, wrap cheesecake tightly in plastic wrap, then with a layer of heavy duty aluminum foil. When ready to serve, thaw frozen cheesecake, covered, at room temperature.
