Easy no-bake biscoff cheesecake recipe
- Prepare the crust:
- Crush the Biscoff cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor.
- Mix the cookie crumbs with the melted butter until well combined.
- Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch (22-24 cm) springform pan to form a compact crust.
- Chill the crust in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
- Prepare the filling:
- Soak the gelatin sheets in cold water for about 5 minutes to soften them. If using agar-agar, follow the package instructions for preparation.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add the Biscoff spread and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture and beat until well combined.
- Heat 50 ml of the heavy cream in a small saucepan until warm. Remove from heat and dissolve the softened gelatin sheets (or prepared agar-agar) in the warm cream. Let it cool slightly.
- Pour the gelatin mixture into the cream cheese mixture and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whip the remaining heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Assemble the cheesecake:
- Pour the filling over the chilled crust and spread it evenly with a spatula.
- Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.
- Prepare the topping:
- Before serving, slightly melt the Biscoff spread (you can microwave it for a few seconds) and spread it over the top of the cheesecake.
- Garnish with crushed Biscoff cookies.
- Serve:
- Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan.
- Slice and serve chilled.
Tips:
- Chocolate Variation: Add chocolate chips or a drizzle of melted chocolate to the filling for an extra layer of flavor.
- Decoration: Garnish with whole Biscoff cookies or chocolate shavings for a decorative touch.
- Storage: Store the cheesecake in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
