Best Biscoff Cheesecake Recipe

I’m a huge fan of cheesecake, and it has always been my favourite dessert since my childhood in Poland. Growing up, I loved the rich, creamy texture of Polish baked cheesecakes, but there was one thing I didn’t enjoy - raisins! They were often added to the traditional Polish version, and I would spend ages picking them out 🙂

That is why I want to share my Best Biscoff Cheesecake Recipe with you. This baked cheesecake combines the perfect smooth texture with the tempting flavour of Biscoff, all without the raisins! If you’re a cheesecake lover like me, this indulgent dessert is a must-try.

Main Ingredients and Substitution Suggestions

This Best Biscoff Cheesecake Recipe is made with simple, delicious ingredients that bring out the creamy, caramelised flavour of Biscoff. Here’s a breakdown of the key ingredients and some substitution suggestions:

• Biscoff Biscuits: These caramel-flavoured biscuits make the perfect base and topping for this cheesecake. If you can’t find Biscoff biscuits, you can substitute them with digestive biscuits or graham crackers, though the flavour won’t be as unique.
• Biscoff Spread: The creamy Biscoff spread gives this cheesecake its signature flavour. If Biscoff spread isn’t available, you could substitute it with a similar cookie butter or even peanut butter for a different, nutty twist.
• Cream Cheese: I recommend using Philadelphia cream cheese for a smooth and rich texture. However, any full-fat cream cheese will work well in this recipe. Be sure to avoid using low-fat varieties, as they can affect the texture.
• Yoghurt: Thick, sour yoghurt adds a slight tang and creaminess to the filling. You can substitute Greek yoghurt for a thicker texture or sour cream if you prefer a slightly more decadent taste.
• Eggs: Eggs help bind the cheesecake together and give it structure. For a lighter version, you can try using 1 whole egg and 2 egg whites, but note that the texture may change slightly.
• Vanilla Bean Paste: Vanilla bean paste adds depth of flavour. If you don’t have it on hand, you can use vanilla extract or even a vanilla pod, scraping out the seeds for a richer vanilla taste.

FAQ for Biscoff Cheesecake

Can I make this cheesecake without a springform pan?

Yes, you can, but a springform pan is recommended for easy removal of the cheesecake. If using a regular pan, line it well with baking paper and be careful when lifting the cheesecake out after cooling.

How long can I store the Biscoff cheesecake?

You can store this cheesecake in the fridge for up to 3 days. Make sure it’s covered well with plastic wrap or kept in an airtight container to prevent it from drying out.

Can I freeze this cheesecake?

Yes! You can freeze the cheesecake for up to 2 months. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then foil, or place it in an airtight container. When ready to serve, let it thaw in the fridge overnight.

Can I make this cheesecake in advance?

Absolutely. In fact, making it a day ahead is recommended as it allows the flavours to develop and the cheesecake to set fully in the fridge. Just store it covered until ready to serve.

What can I substitute for Biscoff biscuits in the base?

If you don’t have Biscoff biscuits, you can use graham crackers, digestive biscuits, or even ginger snaps for a similar texture. However, keep in mind that the flavour will differ slightly.

Can I use low-fat cream cheese?

It’s best to use full-fat cream cheese for this recipe to achieve the best texture and flavour. Low-fat cream cheese can lead to a runnier or less creamy filling.

My cheesecake cracked while baking. What went wrong?

Cracking can happen if the cheesecake is overbaked or if the oven temperature is too high. Make sure to bake it at the recommended temperature and check for doneness by looking for a slight jiggle in the centre when removing it from the oven. Cooling it gradually can also help prevent cracks.

Can I make this cheesecake without eggs?

Yes, you can make an eggless version. Substitute each egg with 60g of full-fat yoghurt or use a commercial egg replacer. The texture will be slightly different but still delicious.

What’s the best way to serve this cheesecake?

For the best results, serve the cheesecake chilled. Add a halved Biscoff biscuit on each slice as a decorative topping and drizzle with any leftover melted Biscoff spread for an extra indulgence.

Can I use something other than Biscoff spread for the topping?

If you can’t find Biscoff spread, you can use any type of cookie butter or even Nutella for a chocolate twist. Peanut butter or caramel spread can also be a delicious alternative.
