What is Biscoff?

Biscoff, short for Biscoff Cookies or Biscoff Speculoos Cookies, is a specific type of spiced cookie with a rich history and a unique flavor profile. 

Biscoff cookies originated in Belgium, where they were developed at a local bakery in a town called Lembeke in 1932.

Biscoff cookies are a type of "Speculoos" cookie. Traditional Speculoos cookies can be traced back to the 17th century when they were baked for special occasions and holidays.

The word "Speculoos" likely originates in the Latin word "speculum," which means mirror. This term may have been chosen because these cookies were often used to create molds and decorations.

Biscoff cookies have a distinctive flavor that combines sweetness with warm spices. The essential spices often used include cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.

The cookies are known for their crisp, slightly crumbly texture.

The partnership between Delta Airlines and Biscoff cookies made them a sought-after snack even beyond air travel. 

Ingredients in our Lotus Cheesecake

Biscoff biscuit base:

• Biscoff cookies: You can also use any type of Speculoos cookies to make the fine crumbs.
• Unsalted butter: The melted butter binds the cookie crumbs together, creating a well formed and delicious crust.

Cheesecake filling:

• Heavy whipping cream: Cold whipping cream whips up better, adding a light, airy texture to the cheesecake. We recommend chilling it well before whipping. For an even more efficient method to make whipped cream, chill your stainless steel mixing bowl as well.
• Full fat cream cheese: Room temperature cream cheese blends smoothly with other ingredients and prevents lumps in your cheesecake filling. Take it out of the fridge 30 minutes to one hour in advance to let it soften.
• Biscoff spread: This star ingredient infuses the delicious cheesecake with that distinct Biscoff flavor. 
• Powdered sugar: This is used to sweeten the cheesecake while allowing for a smooth and velvety texture.
• Vanilla extract: We recommend a good-quality pure vanilla extract for the best flavor.

How to make No Bake Biscoff Cheesecake 

Here is how to make this delicious Lotus Biscoff cheesecake 

Biscoff cookie crust 

Make the crust. Place the Biscoff cookies and melted butter in a food processor and pulse until it resembles the consistency of wet sand. 

Fill the pan. Press the crumbs evenly into the bottom of a springform pan using the bottom of a glass, a rubber spatula, or your hands. 

Chill the crust in the pan. Place the crust in the refrigerator or freezer while you prepare the filling.

Cheesecake Lotus filling 

While the crust sets, make the cheesecake filling.

Prepare the filling. Place the cold cream into a large bowl. Using an electric mixer, whip it to soft peaks. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. 

Add in the Biscoff spread, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat it until well combined. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until just combined. 

Fill and refrigerate. Transfer the cheesecake batter to the chilled crust. Smooth the filling evenly over the crust. Cover it and refrigerate it overnight. The minimum required time to chill this no bake cheesecake is 4-6 hours, but for a well-set cheesecake filling be sure to chill this Biscoff cake overnight.

Serve. When your decadent cheesecake is ready to serve, warm some Lotus Biscoff spread in the microwave on medium power, using 10 second bursts and stirring in between each one. You can also scoop Biscoff spread into a nonstick pan on the stovetop and heat over medium-low, stirring frequently. When using either method, warm the Biscoff spread to a thinner consistency for spreading and drizzling over the cheesecake. We recommend to garnish with additional Biscoff cookies on top of the cheesecake.

Best Tips for Making Lotus Biscoff Cheesecake Recipe

Although this is a simple recipe to make, a few tips will give you the best results. Here are our top tips and recommendations:

• Handle cream gently: We recommend that when whipping the heavy cream, do it gently. Be careful not to over-whip, which will begin to produce a butter-like texture. Whip just until stiff peaks form.
• Don't overmix the filling: When blending the cream cheese, Biscoff spread, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract, avoid overmixing. Overmixing can introduce excess air into the mixture, possibly leading to cracks in your cheesecake.
• Evenly combine ingredients: Ensure all ingredients are well combined, but avoid excessive mixing. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to incorporate everything evenly. A lumpy filling will result in an inconsistent texture.
• Refrigerate overnight for best results: For the ultimate cheesecake texture and flavor, refrigerate the cheesecake overnight. This extended chilling time allows the flavors to meld, and the filling to set perfectly.
• Minimum chill time: If you're short on time, chill the cheesecake for at least 4-6 hours. While overnight is best, this shorter time frame will still give you a delicious cheesecake. It might be softer than the fully set version.
• Prepare the cookie crust carefully: When making the cookie crust, ensure the melted butter is evenly distributed among the cookie crumbs. Press the mixture firmly into the base of the pan for a stable foundation.
• Room temperature cream cheese: Allow your cream cheese to come to room temperature before starting. This makes it easier to blend into a smooth filling without lumps.
• Use high-quality ingredients: Go for high-quality cream cheese and vanilla extract. The better the ingredients, the better the flavor of your cheesecake.
• Consider adding garnish: After the cheesecake is set and ready to serve, you can elevate its appearance and flavor by adding extra Biscoff spread swirls, cookie crumbles, or whipped cream for visual interest and varied texture.
• Serve chilled: Cheesecake is at its best when served well-chilled. For clean slices, dip your knife in hot water before each cut to achieve clean edges.

How Best to Store your Lotus Cheesecake 

Proper storage is essential to maintain the freshness and quality of your Biscoff cheesecake. 

Store your Biscoff cheesecake in an airtight container, or cover it with plastic wrap. You can also use a cake keeper with a lid if it fits your cheesecake.

The best place to store your Biscoff cheesecake is in the refrigerator. The cool temperature helps it maintain its shape and prevents spoilage.

Place the cheesecake on a shelf, away from foods with strong smells, as cheesecake can absorb them. You can refrigerate for up to 5 days.

If you need to store the cheesecake for an extended period, you can freeze it.

To freeze your dessert, wrap the cheesecake tightly in plastic wrap and then place it in an airtight container or a freezer-safe bag. For added protection, you can wrap the container with aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn.

How to thaw:

Transfer the frozen cheesecake from the freezer to the refrigerator when you're ready to enjoy it. This will allow it to thaw slowly and evenly. Thaw for several hours or overnight. 

Do not thaw the cheesecake at room temperature, as it can cause condensation, disrupting the texture. Once the Biscoff no bake cheesecake is fully thawed in the refrigerator, it's ready to serve.
