Biscoff cheesecake blends the classic Belgian Lotus Biscoff cookie, originally a spiced speculoos biscuit, with the American tradition of no‑bake cheesecakes. It reflects a modern fusion trend where European cookie flavors are incorporated into creamy, chilled desserts.

While Belgium does not have a historic Biscoff cheesecake, variations often replace the Biscoff spread with local chocolate or fruit preserves. Some bakers use a traditional graham‑crust base instead of the speculoos biscuit crust.

In Belgian cafés, a Biscoff‑flavored cheesecake is typically served chilled, sliced into small wedges, and sometimes drizzled with a thin layer of caramel or a dusting of cocoa powder. It is often paired with a strong espresso.

Biscoff cheesecake is popular for informal gatherings, coffee breaks, and holiday desserts such as Christmas or New Year’s celebrations, where its spiced biscuit flavor adds a festive touch.

Pair it with classic Belgian waffles, chocolate mousse, or a simple fruit compote. The spiced notes of Biscoff complement rich chocolate and fresh berries alike.

The use of Lotus Biscoff biscuits for the crust and Biscoff spread in both the filling and topping gives a distinctive caramel‑spice flavor that sets it apart from plain vanilla or chocolate no‑bake cheesecakes.

Common errors include under‑pressing the crust, using cold cream cheese which creates lumps, and overheating the Biscoff spread which can become grainy. Follow the critical steps for a smooth texture.

Melted butter solidifies when chilled, giving the crust a firm, buttery texture that holds together better than oil, which remains liquid and can cause a crumbly base.

Yes, you can assemble the cheesecake up to 24 hours ahead. Keep it covered and refrigerated. Add the melted Biscoff topping just before serving for the best texture.

The filling should be firm to the touch but still slightly wobbly in the center, and the topping should be glossy and smooth. After chilling, the cheesecake will set completely and slice cleanly.
