Let’s make a super yummy cheesecake that doesn’t need any baking! It’s full of Biscoff cookie flavor, which gives it a sweet and slightly spicy taste. It’s easy to put together and perfect when you want something sweet without turning on the oven. This cheesecake has a crunchy cookie bottom and a creamy topping that’s really good. Plus, we drizzle it with even more cookie goodness right before we eat it!

Crust Ingredients:

  • 2 cups of spiced cookie crumbs
  • 5 tbsp of unsalted butter, melted

Filling Ingredients:

  • 32 oz of plain cream cheese, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup of confectioners’ sugar
  • 1/2 cup of spiced cookie spread
  • 1 tsp of vanilla extract
  • 2 cups of heavy cream, cold
  • 2 tsp of gelatin powder (or agar-agar for a vegetarian alternative), dissolved in 1/4 cup of hot water

Topping:

  • Spiced cookie spread (warmed for drizzling)
  • Spiced cookie crumbs

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Crust:
    • Blend the spiced cookies until finely ground.
    • Combine the cookie crumbs with melted butter until well mixed.
    • Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
  2. Make the Filling:
    • In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
    • Gradually add the confectioners’ sugar and continue to beat until well combined.
    • Mix in the spiced cookie spread and vanilla extract until the mixture is uniform.
    • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks.
    • Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture gently to keep the air in.
    • Add the dissolved gelatin or agar-agar to the cream cheese mixture and mix until everything is well incorporated.
  3. Assemble the Cheesecake:
    • Pour the filling over the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
    • Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until the cheesecake is set.
  4. Add the Topping:
    • Before serving, warm the spiced cookie spread until it’s pourable, and drizzle it over the cheesecake.
    • Sprinkle the top with additional spiced cookie crumbs for added texture.
  5. Serve:
    • Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan, slice, and serve chilled.
