How to make a no-bake Biscoff swirl cheesecake-
Thank you to Chef Dennis for asking me to guest post today! For those of you who aren’t familiar with my blog, I am a self-taught home baker who puts a twist on recipes. It’s very hard for me to make a straight-forward brownie or straight-forward cheesecake.
That brings me to this No-Bake Egg-Free Biscoff Swirl Cheesecake. Someone on Twitter asked me for a no-bake cheesecake recipe. I personally didn’t have one, so I did some searching. Everything I found involved pre-made items, such as whipped topping in a container or already-made graham cracker crust. How hard would it be to make it all from scratch? I can crush up my own graham crackers and fold in homemade whipped cream.
Besides, I’ve heard rumors about ingredients in whipped topping. Not good rumors. I also know that between the hot weather and people’s fears of baking cheesecake, this no-bake recipe would be quite a hit. No cracking, no water baths, no oven. Just you and your mixer (and a way to crush cookies).
Now the important part – what kind of no-bake cheesecake do I make? There were so many variations running through my head. However, on Twitter for the past weeks, I’ve been harassed…I mean…strongly encouraged to buy Biscoff. Biscoff is a company that makes these cookies you supposedly get on airlines. I never had them and didn’t really care until everyone raved and swooned over Biscoff.
Just like most cheesecakes, you have to refrigerate before serving. The recipe says 4 hours, but since I made it at night, I let it sit overnight. I was tempted to set my alarm for midnight so I could have a piece, but I needed my beauty sleep.
I really surprised myself because even though on paper the batter sounded boring, the creaminess you expect in a cheesecake is there. So if you don’t have time to bake a cheesecake or if you are scared the top will crack, this no-bake recipe is for you.

- 1 1/2 cups Biscoff cookie crumbs
- 4 Tbsp butter melted,
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 1/2 tsp powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 16 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 cup Biscoff spread
- Mix together the cookie crumbs and butter. Press into the bottom of a 9x9 pan. Refrigerate while you prepare the batter.
- In a medium bowl, beat the cream until it thickens. Slowly add the powdered sugar then beat until stiff peaks form (pull beaters straight up and the peaks should not fall). Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat together the sugar, cream cheese, and vanilla. Fold in the whipped cream. Spread evenly into the prepared pan.
- In a small microwavable bowl, microwave the Biscoff spread until slightly softened (10-15 seconds). Drop by spoonfuls on top of the cheesecake batter then swirl with a knife. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.

September 7, 2012 at 6:28 amHi Chef Dennis,
This looks delicious, i would love to have a go at making it myself, although i have never heard of Biscoff. What does it taste of, and do you know what the UK equivalent would be?
No bake cheese cake is the best, why go to all the effort of baking one when there are no-bake recipes like this floating about?
Thanks, Nicole

I’m surprised you can’t get it in the UK, it’s a European Spread. It’s an equivalent to peanut butter made out of crushed biscoff cookies if that helps. I know you can order it online too!
Cheers
Dennis

Anita at Hungry Couple says
August 17, 2012 at 4:47 pmI also told Carla I loved her blog name. I also recall reading a post she wrote on one of the networks where she mentioned that the point of her blog was to make you fat. How can you not love someone like that?! 🙂 I also love cheesecake in all its forms and I’m sure this wouldn’t last long around me!
Carla says
August 17, 2012 at 6:39 pmThat should be my mission statement…to make people fat LOL I had someone once find my blog by typing in “weight watchers cheesecake bars” um yea sorry about your luck haha Thanks Anita!

Lynn says
August 17, 2012 at 2:04 pmFirst, happy you’re feeling better chef Dennis!
Carla, I was turned on to Bischoff years ago. A woman I worked with kept individual packages of them in a big jar in her office. I could feel an addiction in the making so I avoided her office at all costs. Never knew they had a spread but can only imagine the fantastic taste! Thanks for sharing this (it’s oh so hot where I am- like no oven necessary 😉 and excited to check out Chocolate Moosey.
Carla says
August 17, 2012 at 6:37 pmIndividual packages?! Oh man I’m sooooo glad nobody at work does that! I would be that person’s new best friend… You can find the spread in the peanut butter aisle. Found mine at Walmart. Thanks Lynn!

Lane @ Supper for a Steal says
August 17, 2012 at 8:53 amThis recipe looks perfect! Although maybe not right now since I have a few pounds to lose… hopefully in a month or so I will be able to whip up a batch of these. Still have not tried Biscoff. I feel like I’m really behind the times 🙂
Carla says
August 17, 2012 at 6:35 pmI felt like I was behind too by not trying Biscoff! I was the same way with Nutella haha Thanks Lane!
Lyndsey says
August 17, 2012 at 8:45 amThis looks great! I love Biscoff, and am still looking to find the spread! I think I can even make this (I’m a non baker).
Carla says
August 17, 2012 at 6:34 pmI found the spread at Walmart next to the peanut butter and Nutella. The cookies were at my local grocery store near the fancy European cookies. Thanks Lyndsey!

August 17, 2012 at 7:58 amAlso, I go back to work on Monday too, Chef! So, it’s the last Friday of my summer too!
Jen @JuanitasCocina says
August 17, 2012 at 7:55 amI adore Carla. She’s one of my best friends.
I’m also one of the ones who relentlessly harassed her to try Biscoff.
And today’s my birthday, so I really think she had me in mind when she made this! YUM!!!
Carla says
August 17, 2012 at 6:33 pmYup, you were pretty much the driving force behind all of this 😉 Thanks Jen!
Chantal says
August 17, 2012 at 6:50 amhello Chef Dennis,
in Belgium we eat lots of Biscoff, we call it “speculoos”.
You can use it in many ways and I sometimes make my own spread with the cookies.
But this recepy looks very tasty ; can’t wait to try it !
Greetings from Belgium !
Carla says
August 17, 2012 at 6:32 pmThanks Chantal!
Cher says
August 17, 2012 at 6:24 amI have a couple of Biscoff addicts in my house – one of who may or may not be me…
I really like the twist on this – another great guest post!
Carla says
August 17, 2012 at 6:31 pmHey when the jar is empty, blame someone else right 😉 Thanks Cher!
