Ingredient Information

Biscoff Biscuits – are also known as Lotus biscuits or Biscoff cookies. They are made in Belgium and have a crunchy bite with a caramelized flavour.

Biscoff Spread – is a spread made from Biscoff biscuits. You can find smooth or crunchy; the best one to get for this recipe is smooth!

Mascarpone – Use full-fat mascarpone; this gives the Biscoff cheesecake a delicious creamy texture.

Butter – Use unsalted butter; Biscoff biscuits have enough salt in to add flavour.

Sugar (optional) – For people with a major sweet tooth, you can add a small amount of sugar. Use small granulated sugar like caster sugar.

Professional Tips & Tricks

Chill Equipment – If possible, chill the equipment you plan on using for the cheesecake filling. That includes the large mixing bowl and the spatula. It will help you from unintentionally splitting the mascarpone.

Spray the Cake Tin – If you have any cooking oil spray laying around, lightly spray the insides of the cake tin. It will help stop the cheesecake from sticking to the cake tin.

Don’t Over Mix – When making the cheesecake filling, carefully fold the Biscoff spread into the mascarpone. If you mix the mascarpone too much, it has a higher chance of splitting.

Can the cheesecake be frozen?

Hi Marjorie,

I haven't tried freezing this cake yet but you should be able to because the mascarpone has been mixed. If you try, wrap it tight and defrost it in the refrigerator and not the kitchen counter. It may take longer but will decrease the likelihood of water separating from the mascarpone.

I made this last night and it was hands down one of the best desserts I have ever made! I have to admit that I am a bit obsessed with Biscoff though, so I wasn’t really surprised. I thought how would it turn out without sugar, as you have listed it optional. So, I reduced the sugar quantity to half and it was still so great. Thanks for the recipe!

Hey Corrie!

That was a good shout on halving the sugar quantity. Since you're a Biscoff lover like me, have a look at these two recipes: Biscoff Brownies & Biscoff Milkshake, they were both stunning!

Thanks for the kind words, Jack
