No-Bake Biscoff Cheesecake Lush

by Danielle Cochran

Comments

This no-bake Biscoff cheesecake lush starts with a buttery cookie crumb crust, followed by cookie butter cheesecake, chocolate pudding, and whipped cream. You get a little of each layer in every bite, from the spiced cookies at the bottom to the soft cream on top. Plus, everything fits in a 9-inch square pan, so there’s no springform pan or oven needed.

Biscoff spread goes directly into the cheesecake filling, giving it that caramelized cookie flavor all the way through. Meanwhile, instant chocolate pudding makes the chocolate layer easy to mix and spread. Finish with a few extra cookie crumbs, and it’s ready to serve.

Cookie Butter in Every Bite

I love the combination of Biscoff and chocolate, especially with a tangy cream cheese layer between them. For this version, I mix cookie butter right into the filling, so the Biscoff flavor goes beyond the crust.

Then there’s the whipped cream on top, which adds a soft, light finish to all those rich layers. A few cookie crumbs are all it needs for decoration. If you love baking with cookie butter too, try my Biscoff Sticky Pudding Cake next.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

  • Biscoff in two layers: Crushed cookies form the crust, while cookie butter flavors the cheesecake filling.
  • No oven needed: The crust firms up in the refrigerator, and you mix the remaining layers in bowls.
  • Chocolate and cookie butter together: The chocolate pudding balances the sweet, spiced cheesecake layer.
  • Eight main ingredients: A short ingredient list makes shopping and prep straightforward.
  • A simple square pan: Assemble everything in a 9-inch square pan, then serve directly from the dish.

Ingredients 

  • Biscoff cookies: Finely crush them for the crust. You can also use extra cookie crumbs as an optional topping.
  • Unsalted butter: Melt it before mixing it with the cookie crumbs.
  • Cream cheese: Bring it to room temperature so it beats smoothly.
  • Powdered sugar: Sweetens the cheesecake filling without adding a grainy texture.
  • Biscoff cookie butter: Mixes into the cream cheese for a creamy, spiced cookie filling.
  • Instant chocolate pudding mix: Use instant pudding for the chocolate layer.
  • Milk: Combines with the pudding mix. You may also need a small splash if the cheesecake filling is too thick to spread.
  • Whipped cream: Forms the top layer.

How To Make No-Bake Biscoff Cookie Cheesecake 

  • Prepare the crust. Line a 9-inch square pan with parchment paper. Mix the finely crushed cookies with melted butter, then press the mixture evenly into the bottom. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  • Mix the cheesecake filling. Beat the room-temperature cream cheese until smooth. Next, mix in the powdered sugar and Biscoff cookie butter. If the filling is too thick to spread, add a small splash of milk.
  • Spread the cheesecake layer. Spoon the filling over the chilled crust, then gently spread it into an even layer.
  • Make the chocolate pudding. In a separate bowl, mix the milk and instant chocolate pudding until thickened. Spread it over the cheesecake filling.
  • Add the topping. Finish with whipped cream and an optional sprinkle of crushed Biscoff cookies. Keep refrigerated until serving.

Tips for Smooth, Even Layers

  • Crush the cookies finely. Large pieces make it harder to press the crust into an even base. A food processor works well, or you can crush the cookies in a sealed bag with a rolling pin.
  • Measure the crumbs after crushing. The recipe calls for three cups of finely crushed cookies.
  • Give the crust its full chill time. Those 20 minutes help it firm up before you add the filling.
  • Start with softened cream cheese. Beat it smooth before adding the powdered sugar and cookie butter.
  • Add extra milk sparingly. Only use a splash if the cheesecake filling needs help spreading.
  • Let the pudding thicken first. Then spread it gently over the cream cheese layer to keep the layers separate.
  • Add the cookie garnish before serving. This helps the crumbs keep their crunch.

Storage and Freezing

  • Refrigerator: Cover the pan tightly or transfer leftovers to an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 3–4 days. The cookie crust and crumb topping will soften as they sit, so add extra cookie crumbs just before serving.
  • Freezing: For the best texture, keep this dessert refrigerated. Freezing and thawing can change the texture of the pudding and whipped cream, leaving the layers softer or watery.

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the pan. Line a 9×9-inch square pan with parchment paper.
  • Make the crust. Combine the finely crushed Biscoff cookies and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened, then press firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  • Mix the cheesecake filling. In a mixing bowl, beat the room-temperature cream cheese until smooth. Mix in the powdered sugar, followed by the Biscoff cookie butter. If the filling is too thick to spread, mix in a small splash of milk.
  • Add the cheesecake layer. Spread the Biscoff cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled cookie crust.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my cheesecake filling lumpy?

Cold cream cheese is usually the reason. Let it come to room temperature, then beat it until smooth before adding the powdered sugar and Biscoff spread. Scrape down the bowl as you mix so everything blends evenly.

Why isn’t my chocolate pudding thickening?

Check that you’re using instant chocolate pudding rather than cook-and-serve pudding. Also, use the 1¾ cups of milk listed in this recipe instead of the amount on the box. Mix until thickened before spreading it over the cheesecake layer.

How do I keep the layers from mixing together?

Start with the chilled crust, then spread the cheesecake filling gently over it. Next, spoon the thickened pudding in small dollops across the filling and connect them with a spatula. Use the same technique for the whipped cream so you don’t drag the pudding into the topping.

How do I get neat slices?

Cut the dessert while it’s cold, using a sharp knife and wiping the blade clean between cuts. Then slide a small spatula underneath each portion to support the cookie crust as you lift it out. Because this is a soft, layered lush dessert, the slices will be more delicate than baked cheesecake.
