The Only 5 Ingredients You’ll Need
One of the biggest appeals of this cheesecake is the short ingredient list. It’s likely you already have some of these on hand—if not, they’re all easy to find at most grocery stores.
- Lotus Biscoff Cookies (200g)
- Melted Butter (80g)
- Cream Cheese (500g, room temp)
- Sweetened Condensed Milk (300ml)
- Lotus Biscoff Spread (200g)
Step-by-Step: How It Comes Together
No complicated steps or baking techniques here. Just a few bowls, some chill time, and you’re good.
Step 1: Make the Base
In a food processor or sealed bag, crush the Biscoff cookies until you get fine crumbs. Add melted butter and mix until it resembles wet sand. Press firmly into the bottom of a springform pan using the back of a spoon or the base of a cup. Pop it into the fridge to set while you prepare the filling.
Step 2: Whip the Cream Cheese
In a mixing bowl, beat the room temperature cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. No lumps. Add in the sweetened condensed milk slowly, mixing as you go. This keeps the texture velvety without turning too runny.
Step 3: Add the Biscoff Spread
Slightly warm the spread in the microwave (about 10–15 seconds) so it blends easily. Fold it into the cream cheese mixture until evenly incorporated. The mixture should now be rich, thick, and caramel-colored.
Step 4: Assemble and Chill
Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Tap the pan gently to remove air bubbles. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, though overnight is better for structure and flavor.
Step 5: Final Touch—More Biscoff
Once set, spread an additional thin layer of melted Biscoff spread over the top for that glossy finish. Garnish with crushed cookies or a whole one placed right in the center. Simple but dramatic.
The 5-Ingredient No-Bake Lotus Biscoff Cheesecake is proof that dessert doesn’t need a dozen ingredients or hours of labor to hit the sweet spot. It’s creamy, rich, and balanced with just the right amount of sweetness. Perfect for beginner bakers, busy hosts, or anyone who just wants something indulgent without overcommitting.
Once you try it, it might become your go-to when the oven just feels like too much effort.
