White Chocolate Biscoff Cheesecake Ingredients
• For the Base
- Biscoff Biscuits – Provide a crunchy and aromatic base for the cheesecake. Substitution: Use any plain digestive biscuits if Biscoff is unavailable.
- Unsalted Butter (125g, melted) – Binds the biscuit crumbs together, creating a firm base. Substitution: Salted butter can also work; reduce added salt if using.
• For the Filling
- White Chocolate (200g) – Adds creaminess and sweetness to the cheesecake filling. Substitution: Milk chocolate can be used for a different flavor profile.
- Full-Fat Cream Cheese (500g, room temperature) – The main component for the creamy filling, ensuring a rich texture. Substitution: Mascarpone can be used for a sweeter taste.
- Icing Sugar (75g) – Sweetens the filling and helps achieve a creamy consistency. Substitution: Granulated sugar can be used, but it may affect texture.
- Vanilla Extract (1 tsp) – Enhances flavor by adding depth to the cream cheese mixture. Note: Optional if desired flavor profile prefers less sweetness.
- Double Cream (300ml) – Adds richness and helps thicken the mixture. Note: Whipping cream can be used as an alternative, but may require a setting agent.
- Biscoff Spread (200g) – Swirled into the cheesecake for flavor and decoration. Substitution: Speculoos spread or any cookie butter can be used.
Step‑by‑Step Instructions for No-Bake White Chocolate Biscoff Swirl Cheesecake
Step 1: Prepare the Base
Start by blitzing Biscoff biscuits in a food processor until they resemble fine crumbs. In a separate bowl, combine the crushed biscuits with 125g of melted unsalted butter, mixing until fully coated. Firmly press this mixture into the bottom of a 20cm (8-inch) deep springform tin to create an even base. Chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to set.
Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling
While the base chills, melt 200g of white chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Allow the chocolate to cool for around 10 minutes. In a bowl, whisk together 500g of room-temperature full-fat cream cheese, 75g of icing sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until creamy and well combined. Stir in the cooled white chocolate until the mixture is smooth.
Step 3: Incorporate Cream
Pour in 300ml of double cream into the cream cheese mixture. Whisk on high speed until the mixture thickens to a spreadable consistency, which should take about 2-3 minutes. Next, using a spatula, gently fold in 200g of Biscoff spread, creating a beautiful swirl throughout the cheesecake filling without fully combining it.
Step 4: Assemble
Once your cheesecake filling is ready, take the chilled biscuit base out of the fridge. Spoon the cheesecake mixture onto the prepared base, spreading it evenly to ensure there are no gaps. Cover the cheesecake with cling film and refrigerate for a minimum of 6-8 hours, or preferably overnight, until fully set.
Step 5: Decorate
After the cheesecake has set, carefully remove it from the springform tin. Drizzle more melted Biscoff spread over the top for decoration. In a separate bowl, whip any remaining double cream with a bit of icing sugar to soft peaks and pipe onto the cheesecake. Finish with white chocolate shavings and whole Biscoff biscuits for a stunning presentation.

White Chocolate Biscoff Cheesecake Recipe FAQs
How do I choose ripe ingredients for this cheesecake?
Absolutely! For the best flavor, use full-fat cream cheese that’s smooth and creamy. Check that your white chocolate is of good quality, as it greatly affects the taste. Ensure that the Biscoff spread is fresh and has a smooth, pourable consistency—avoid any jars with dark spots or a hard texture.
What’s the best way to store my cheesecake and how long will it last?
Very! You can keep your cheesecake in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Make sure it’s covered tightly with cling film or in an airtight container to preserve its freshness. If you plan to enjoy it later, you can freeze it for up to 3 months. Just remember to leave it undecorated before wrapping well in plastic wrap and foil to prevent freezer burn!
Can I freeze my White Chocolate Biscoff Cheesecake? If so, how?
Absolutely! To freeze, let your cheesecake set completely in the fridge first. Then, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap followed by aluminum foil to keep it protected. When you’re ready to enjoy it, simply transfer it to the fridge for several hours or overnight to thaw slowly. This helps maintain the decadent flavor and creamy texture.
What if my cream cheese mixture is lumpy?
Oh no, lumps can be a bit tricky! If your cream cheese isn’t getting smooth, make sure it’s at room temperature before mixing. If lumps persist, try whisking the mixture for a bit longer. Additionally, using a hand mixer can really help achieve that creamy texture. If all else fails, you may strain the mixture through a fine sieve to get that perfect smoothness.
Are there any dietary considerations I should keep in mind?
Very! If you’re serving this cheesecake to guests, be aware of allergies: both the cream cheese and double cream are dairy-based, so it’s not suitable for those with lactose intolerance. For a vegan-friendly version, you could explore dairy-free cream cheese alternatives and coconut cream, though the flavor and texture may vary slightly.
