Why Biscoff Cheesecake is a Modern Classic

Lotus Biscoff cheesecake has quickly evolved from a trendy café treat to a beloved dessert staple. Its signature flavour comes from Lotus Biscoff biscuits, a caramelised, spiced classic that adds warmth and depth to the creamy cheesecake base.

The crunchy biscuit crust, silky filling infused with Biscoff spread, and glossy topping create a perfect balance of texture and taste that appeals to both casual dessert lovers and dedicated bakers. And part of its charm is accessibility, as its main ingredient, the Biscoff biscuit, is readily available in any grocery store.

Additionally, the Lotus Biscoff cheesecake is visually stunning, with golden-brown hues and indulgent layers, making it truly Instagrammable. Yet it’s simple enough for home bakers to master.

This mix of flavour, presentation, and ease is why Biscoff cheesecake has moved beyond being a passing trend to a dessert staple.

Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Base

• 250g Lotus Biscoff biscuits (about 2 packs)
• 100g unsalted butter, melted

For the Filling

• 200ml thickened cream

Step-by-Step Guide to Making the Perfect Biscoff Cheesecake

Step 1: Create the Biscuit Base

Crush the Lotus Biscoff biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor. Combine with melted butter until the texture resembles wet sand. Press firmly into the base of a springform pan and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.

Step 2: Prepare the Creamy Filling

In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add icing sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until combined. Warm the Biscoff spread slightly to make it easier to incorporate. Fold in the thickened cream until the mixture is silky and lump-free.

Step 3: Assemble and Chill

Pour the filling over the chilled biscuit base, smoothing the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 4–6 hours, preferably overnight, to let the flavours develop and the cheesecake set properly.

Step 4: Add the Finishing Touches

Gently pour melted Biscoff spread over the top of the cheesecake. Garnish with crushed biscuits for texture.

Tips for Making Your Biscoff Cheesecake Stand Out

Balance the Sweetness

Biscoff spread is naturally sweet, so don’t overdo the sugar in the filling. Let the caramelised notes shine through.

Use a Cold Pan

A well-chilled base helps the filling set evenly and prevents sogginess.

Experiment with Toppings

While the classic melted spread and biscuit crumbs work beautifully, try fresh berries, chocolate drizzle, or even a dusting of cinnamon for variation.

Preparation Tip:  Slice with a warm, clean knife for that clean cut and perfect presentation.

Turning a Trend into Your Signature Dessert

Biscoff cheesecake may be a modern trend, but with its velvety texture and unique caramelised biscuit flavour, it has all the makings of a timeless dessert. Once you’ve mastered the basics, you can make it your signature.

You can start by adding a little twist to its ingredients, experimenting with presentation, or pairing it with your favourite coffee blend. One slice is enough to turn a casual gathering into a special occasion.

Creating a Lotus Biscoff cheesecake yourself is a satisfying experience, especially when you get to taste your creation.
