This biscoff cookie butter cheesecake is an incredible cheesecake recipe made with just six ingredients: cookie butter, lotus cookies, butter, whipped cream, cream cheese, and powdered sugar.

No-bake biscoff lotus cookie butter cheesecake.

This is a rich dessert, not for the faint of heart. When I photographed this recipe, I ate so much of the cheesecake mixture I nearly made myself sick. I'm not sure what that says about the recipe. It's delicious, but eat it in moderation.

For a tad lighter dessert with biscoff cookie butter, try these lotus rice krispies (they take 10 minutes!).

There's a reason why Biscoff cookie butter cheesecake is popping up everywhere- it's phenomenal. This decadent cheesecake is easy to make and nearly impossible to screw up.

Make this cheesecake in a springform pan or a pie dish (I love the flexibility). I appreciate beautiful desserts, but I'm not the artsy type (kind of lazy, too). The drizzled cookie butter and cookie crumb topping is simple to do.

Ingredient Notes

ingredients to make biscoff lotus cheesecake.

Lotus biscoff cookies: The crust is made from crushed lotus biscoff biscuits and melted butter. This is a brand that has a unique taste. If you can't find it, you can substitute graham crackers, although it won't be an equal swap in terms of taste.
Cookie butter: I prefer Lotus biscoff cookie butter spread, but other cookie butter brands can be used.
Cream cheese: My go-to for any cheesecake recipe is Philadelphia cream cheese. Any cream cheese works.
Powdered sugar: This is also known as icing sugar. It's very fine, and it easily mixes into the cream cheese mixture.
Whipping cream: There are a couple of options. You can beat heavy whipping cream or use cool whip.
Salted butter
Ground cinnamon (optional): The cookies have a cinnamon flavor, but this adds more to the crust.

Tips and Tricks

Use full-fat cream cheese. I cut corners where it's not noticeable.
Mix the cheesecake filling until the cream cheese chunks are no longer there. This ensures the cheesecake filling is smooth.
The easiest way to press the cookie base into the pie dish is using parchment paper. Add the cookie crust to the pie dish. Place parchment paper or plastic wrap on top. Using your hands, press the cookie crust into an even layer.
Bake the biscoff biscuit base to make this lotus biscoff cheesecake recipe more sturdy.
Beat the whipping cream until soft peaks form. Don't overbeat or the cream will curdle.

Variations and Substitutions

If you can't find lotus cookies, substitute graham crackers. Check the recipe card notes for exact quantity substitutes.
Use a 9" pie dish instead of a 9" springform pan.
Add vanilla extract to the creamy cheesecake filling.
