This No Bake Cookie Butter Cheesecake is rich, creamy, and packed with warm spiced Biscoff flavor. With a buttery cookie crust, fluffy cheesecake filling, and a smooth cookie butter topping, it’s the perfect easy make-ahead dessert for holidays, parties, or anytime you need something impressive without turning on the oven.

This is one of those desserts that I make when I want something that feels a little extra special… but I don’t actually want to do anything complicated.

Because let’s be honest, with three boys running around, “complicated” desserts just don’t happen very often around here.

The first time I made this No Bake Cookie Butter Cheesecake, it was one of those days where I needed a dessert that would feel like a treat. Dean had been asking for something “really good,” Sam wanted something creamy, and Van just kept saying “cookies” over and over. And Daniel? He’s always happy with anything cheesecake.

So I grabbed a jar of cookie butter and just went for it.

And oh my gosh… this one instantly became a favorite.

It’s rich and creamy but still light enough that you don’t feel weighed down after a slice. The Biscoff cookie crust is buttery and just slightly crunchy, the filling is smooth and fluffy, and that melted cookie butter on top? It’s the kind of thing that makes people stop mid-bite and say, “Okay wait… what is this??”

Dean said it was “one of the best desserts I’ve ever made,” which is saying a lot because that kid has had a lot of desserts 😂 Sam loves how soft and creamy it is, and Van mostly just wants the cookies off the top (which honestly… same).

What I love most about this recipe is that it looks impressive, tastes like something you bought from a bakery, but it’s actually so simple to throw together. No oven, no water bath, no stressing about cracks, just mix, chill, and serve.

And those are exactly the kinds of recipes I keep coming back to.

Ingredients

Helps bind the crumbs together and creates a firm, buttery crust.

Extra Biscoff cookies (for lining the sides)
Optional, but they make the cheesecake look extra pretty and bakery-style.

4 (8 ounce) blocks cream cheese, softened
The base of the cheesecake filling. Make sure it’s fully softened for a smooth texture.

4 tablespoons sugar
Adds just a touch of sweetness to balance the cookie butter.

1½ cups Biscoff spread (cookie butter)
This is the star of the recipe. It gives the cheesecake its rich, spiced flavor.

2 cups heavy cream
Whips into the filling to make it light, fluffy, and creamy.

½ cup cookie butter (for topping)
Melted and poured on top for that smooth, glossy finish.

Extra cookies (for garnish)
Adds crunch and makes the cheesecake look extra special.

Notes

• Use a springform pan: For clean edges and easy removal, a springform pan works best. If using a pie dish, line it with parchment for easier slicing.
• Let it chill completely: Chill for at least 6 hours or overnight to help the cheesecake set properly and slice cleanly.
• Press the crust firmly: Use the bottom of a glass or measuring cup to press the crust evenly into the pan this helps it hold together when sliced.

Wipe the knife between slices: For clean slices, wipe your knife with a warm, damp towel between cuts.
