My love for Biscoff cookies is old and rooted in nostalgia. It’s the flavor of my grandparent’s house, the flavor of travel pack cookies, the flavor of early morning cookies and coffee in unfamiliar cities. The lightly spiced, sweet crunch is one of a kind.

Biscoff cheesecake is the perfect combination of creamy, decadent cheesecake filling, crisp and sweet cookie crust, and luscious melted cookie butter. Cook it up in a springform pan or cut it into squares—this easy cheesecake recipe is perfect for all occasions!

How to Make Cheesecake with Biscoff Crust
Biscoff Cookie Crust Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F, and line a 9 by 9-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
- Crush the cookies into crumbs by hand or with a food processor, then combine with sugar and melted butter in a bowl, mixing until smooth.
- Press the mixture into the pan until it makes a firm, even layer across the bottom. Then bake for 5-7 minutes, and set aside to cool.
How to Make Lotus Biscoff Cheesecake Filling
- In a large bowl and using a hand mixer, whip the cream cheese, cookie butter, and the remaining sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add in the Greek yogurt and vanilla, and mix again.
- Then add in the eggs. Mix only until just combined- don’t over-mix!
- Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust and spread it into an even layer using a spatula.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes until the cheesecake is set, and the center is slightly jiggly. Remove immediately if it begins to crack!
- Turn off the heat without removing the cheesecake. Allow it to cool for one hour before removing it and cooling to room temperature. Then, melt the remaining cookie butter and pour it over the cheesecake, spreading it into a nice, even layer.
- Transfer the cheesecake to the fridge, wrapped in plastic wrap, to set for at least 5 hours. Then slice, serve, and enjoy!
Lotus Cheesecake Bars Tips
- Avoid opening the oven door as much as possible once the cheesecake is baking. This will avoid temperature changes that can cause cracks.
- This recipe makes a square cheesecake perfect for cutting into bars, but you can also make a round cheesecake using a springform pan. If you bake cheesecake in a springform pan, wrap the pan in foil before placing it in a water bath.
- Make sure not to mix the filling too much after adding the eggs! Once it looks evenly mixed in and no streaks of egg are visible, stop mixing it.
- Room-temperature cream cheese will blend much easier than cold, making it easier to remove lumps.
- Top it with my delicious homemade whipped cream for an extra decadent dessert.

Notes
- Avoid opening the oven door as much as possible once the cheesecake is baking. This will avoid temperature changes that can cause cracks.
- The best way to avoid cheesecakes cracking is to use a water bath! Simply place the cheesecake pan in a larger roasting pan, and fill the roasting pan with ½-1″ of hot water. Place both in the oven when it’s time to bake the cheesecake.
- This recipe makes a square cheesecake perfect for cutting into bars, but you can also make a round cheesecake using a springform pan. If using springform, wrap the pan in foil before placing it in a water bath.
- Make sure not to mix the filling too much after adding the eggs! Once it looks evenly mixed in and no streaks of egg are visible, stop mixing it.
- Room temperature cream cheese will blend a lot easier than cold, making it easier to remove lumps.
- Feel free to adjust the levels of sugar to your tastes. The cookies are naturally sweet!
