The History of Lotus Biscoff

Lotus Biscoff cookies originated in Belgium in 1932. Known for their distinctive caramelized flavor and crisp texture, these cookies quickly became a beloved treat throughout Europe and eventually around the world.

The famous Lotus Biscoff Spread was later introduced, transforming the cookies into a creamy, spreadable delight. Since then, Biscoff-flavored desserts have exploded in popularity, appearing in cheesecakes, cakes, cupcakes, milkshakes, ice creams, and countless other sweet creations.

Today, Lotus Biscoff Cheesecake is one of the most sought-after no-bake desserts because it combines the luxurious texture of cheesecake with the iconic flavor of caramelized cookies.

  • 1 cup (300g) Lotus Biscoff spread
  • ¼ cup (60ml) heavy cream

For Garnish

  • ¼ cup (30g) crushed Lotus Biscoff cookies
  • Whole Lotus Biscoff cookies (optional)

Equipment Needed

  • 9×13-inch glass dish
  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • Rubber spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Offset spatula for smoothing
  • Refrigerator

Method

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

  1. Crush the Lotus Biscoff cookies into fine crumbs.
  2. Pour the melted butter over the crumbs.
  3. Mix until evenly coated.
  4. Transfer the mixture into a 9×13-inch dish.
  5. Press firmly into an even layer using the back of a spoon or measuring cup.
  6. Refrigerate for 20 minutes to firm up.

Why This Works

The butter binds the cookie crumbs together, creating a firm, flavorful crust that holds the cheesecake perfectly.

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling

  1. Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
  2. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
  3. Continue mixing until fully incorporated.
  4. Add the Lotus Biscoff spread and beat until silky smooth.

Pro Tip

Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps.

Step 3: Whip the Cream

  1. In a separate chilled bowl, pour the heavy whipping cream.
  2. Beat until stiff peaks form.
  3. The cream should hold its shape when the beaters are lifted.

Why Whipped Cream?

Whipped cream gives the cheesecake its light, airy texture while maintaining richness.

Step 4: Combine the Mixtures

  1. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
  2. Use a spatula and fold carefully to preserve the airiness.
  3. Continue folding until fully combined.

Important

Do not overmix, as this can deflate the whipped cream and make the cheesecake dense.

Step 5: Assemble the Cheesecake

  1. Remove the chilled crust from the refrigerator.
  2. Spoon the cheesecake filling onto the crust.
  3. Spread evenly using an offset spatula.
  4. Smooth the top for a professional finish.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Step 6: Prepare the Lotus Topping

  1. Warm the Lotus Biscoff spread in the microwave for 20–30 seconds.
  2. Stir in the heavy cream.
  3. Mix until glossy and pourable.

Texture Goal

The topping should flow smoothly but not be too thin.

Step 7: Finish the Cheesecake

  1. Pour the topping over the chilled cheesecake layer.
  2. Spread evenly to the edges.
  3. Sprinkle generously with crushed Biscoff cookies.
  4. Add whole cookies for decoration if desired.

Step 8: Chill and Serve

  1. Refrigerate for at least 4 more hours.
  2. For best results, chill overnight.
  3. Slice using a sharp knife cleaned between cuts.
  4. Serve cold and enjoy.
