directions

Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.
Crush the Lotus Biscoff cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by hand. Mix with melted butter until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to set.
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated and light.
Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled crust, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
Slightly warm the Biscoff spread until pourable and drizzle it over the cheesecake layer. Gently tilt the pan to distribute the topping evenly.
Garnish with additional Biscoff cookie crumbs if desired.
Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until set.
Once fully chilled, slice into 9 bars and serve.

FAQs

Can I use another brand of cookie butter?

Yes, any creamy cookie butter will work, though Lotus Biscoff offers the classic flavor profile.

How do I keep the cheesecake layer smooth?

Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before beating to avoid lumps, and fold in the whipped cream gently.

Can I use store-bought whipped topping?

Yes, you can substitute 1 cup of whipped topping (like Cool Whip) for the whipped heavy cream, though the texture will be slightly different.

Is it possible to make this gluten-free?

Yes, use a certified gluten-free speculoos-style cookie or gluten-free graham crackers in place of Biscoff cookies.

Can I make these bars ahead of time?

Absolutely—these are ideal for making a day in advance since they require time to set.

Do I need to bake the crust?

No, this is a fully no-bake recipe. Just chill the crust to firm it before adding the filling.

Can I double the recipe?

Yes, use a 9×13-inch pan and double all ingredients to serve a larger crowd.

What can I use if I don’t have a food processor?

Crush the cookies in a sealed bag with a rolling pin until fine crumbs form.

Will the Biscoff spread harden on top?

It firms slightly when chilled but remains creamy and easy to cut.

Can I add fruit to the cheesecake?

Yes, a layer of thinly sliced banana or a swirl of berry compote can be added before topping.
