Creamy No Bake Vegan Biscoff Cheesecake (7 Ingredients!)
This no bake vegan Biscoff cheesecake is the easiest no bake cheesecake recipe! With a perfectly creamy and lush nut-free Biscoff cookie butter cheesecake filling and cookie crust, just 7 ingredients and perfect for any holiday table!
Why you need to make this vegan Biscoff Cheesecake
This vegan Biscoff cheesecake is about to become your new cheesecake obsession. It’s perfectly lush, creamy, tangy yet sweet, and of course, full of the fan-favorite Biscoff cookie butter.
What’s more, this is a no bake vegan cheesecake! Meaning you simply blend together all of the ingredients, chill, and then serve. How easy is that?!
Now, I know many have reservations about no bake cheesecakes- how can they be as good as a baked vegan cheesecake with both the firmness and creaminess? But like my no bake vegan chocolate cheesecake and my vegan no bake Nutella cheesecake, this Biscoff cheesecake certainly achieves that.
The filling is almost mousse-like, but still firm and lovely in both texture and flavor. It’s easily my favorite vegan cheesecake recipe (but I do love my vegan Oreo cheesecake, vegan chocolate cheesecake and nut-free vegan pumpkin cheesecake! And come the holidays, I’m totally serving up this vegan pecan pie cheesecake).
I love this recipe so much, I even made cute single serving mini Biscoff cheesecakes!
With a silky Lotus Biscoff spread cheesecake filling, crushed Lotus Biscoff biscuits as the cookie crust, and topped with more melted Biscoff cookie butter and cookies, this vegan Biscoff cheesecake recipe is a fantastic dessert recipe you need for the holidays- Thanksgiving, Christmas, you name it!
Psst! For the ultra cookie lover: Try my vegan Oreo cheesecake and vegan cookie dough cheesecake!
What is Biscoff and is Biscoff vegan?
Biscoff cookie butter is made from Speculoos cookies, also know as Lotus Biscoff cookies. The cookie butter spread is very similar to peanut butter in consistency, with the flavor of Biscoff Lotus cookies.
Originating from Belgium, speculoos cookies (or Speculaas in Holland) are crisp, sweet, and mildly spicy in flavor with cinnamon and other warming spices.
And the best part? Biscoff cookies and Biscoff cookie butter are entirely vegan and made without any animal products! However, the chocolate covered Biscoff cookies do contain dairy (but we won’t need them for this recipe!).
Ingredients & Substitutions:
- Vegan Cream Cheese: For nut-free, I recommend violife cream cheese or Tofutti cream cheese.
- Vegan Dairy-Free Yogurt: For nut-free, you can use soy milk yogurt or coconut milk yogurt. If you can consume nuts, I recommend using Forager Project cashew milk yogurt or Kite Hill Greek-style yogurt.
- Vegan Heavy Cream: I love using So Delicious! Heavy Vegan Cream. You can also use Country Crock. If you can’t find vegan double cream, you can also swap in soy milk, coconut milk, or oat milk.
- Granulated Sugar: Use organic granulated sugar for vegan. I recommend Florida Crystals Sugar.
- Biscoff Cookie Butter Spread: For gluten-free, you can try making your own gluten-free cookie butter spread! You should be able to find the Biscoff cookie butter at your local grocery store, such as Publix, ShopRite, etc. Trader Joe’s also has a version, but I’m not sure if it’s vegan!
- Biscoff Cookies: These will be for the base of our cheesecake (like in my 7 ingredient, no bake cheesecake bars!). Like the cookie butter, you can find this at your local grocery store. I don’t know of any store-bought gluten-free versions at this time. However, you can make your own gluten-free Biscoff cookies here, and make sure to swap in maple syrup for the honey for vegan!
- Vegan Butter: You can also swap in coconut oil. I recommend Miyoko’s vegan butter, or Earth Balance butter for nut-free.
Optional ingredients: Vanilla extract and salt. I personally love adding a little bit of vanilla, but you definitely don’t need the salt. From the salt in the cream cheese and Biscoff cookie butter, you definitely have enough contrast in flavor!
Overview: How to make a vegan Biscoff cheesecake
You’re just going to love how easy this vegan lotus Biscoff cheesecake is to make! Here’s a quick overview with instructional photos.
But if you want to see a video of how to make this no bake Biscoff cheesecake, check out my quick 30 second tutorial on Instagram!
Start by making the Biscoff cookie crust. Pulse the Lotus cookies to a fine crumb. Then mix in the melted vegan butter.
Press the cookie crust into the prepared springform pan, and place the pan into the freezer while you make the cheesecake filling.
Next, make the Biscoff no-bake cheesecake filling. You can use either a stand mixer with whisk attachment, or a large mixing bowl and hand mixer.
Simply cream together the vegan cream cheese, yogurt, heavy cream, and sugar until fluffy and consistent. You’ll notice soft peaks start to form in the filling. Then add in the cookie butter, and mix again until completely mixed.
Fill the cheesecake. Pour the Biscoff no bake filling into the springform pan on top of the crust. Then chill the cheesecake for 4+ hours.
Top and serve! Spread melted Biscoff cookie butter on top, and sprinkle with crushed Lotus cookies. Slice and serve!
Storage Tips & Tricks
- Once the Biscoff cheesecake is set in the freezer, you can continue to store it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- You can use a 9″ or 10″ springform pan– however, the cheesecake height won’t be as tall.
- Use a butter knife to run along the edges of the cheesecake and springform pan to help release the cheesecake from the pan.
- You can freeze this cheesecake overnight if you’d prefer, and serve the next day!

Description
This no bake vegan Biscoff cheesecake is the easiest no bake cheesecake recipe! With a perfectly creamy and lush nut-free Biscoff cookie butter cheesecake filling and cookie crust, just 7 ingredients and perfect for any holiday table!
Ingredients
Biscoff Cheesecake Crust:
- 1 250g package Biscoff Lotus cookies
- 1/3 cup (75 g) vegan butter*, melted and cooled to room temperature
Biscoff Cheesecake Filling:
- 16 ounces (454 g) vegan cream cheese, room temperature
- 8 ounces (240 g) vegan dairy free yogurt
- 1 cup (250 g) Biscoff cookie butter spread
- 1 cup (240 mL) heavy unsweetened dairy free milk or cream, room temperature*
- 1 cup (200 g) organic granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- Optional toppings: Biscoff cookie butter, Biscoff Lotus cookies, vegan caramel
Instructions
- Prep: Measure out all ingredients. Line an 8″ springform pan with parchment paper on the bottom, and lightly grease the edges.
- Make the crust: Blitz or pulse the lotus Biscoff cookies in a food processor or blender until they’re in a fine crumb. Pour the cookie crumbs into a medium bowl, and add in the melted vegan butter. Mix until combined. Then press the dough into the bottom of the springform pan. Use the back of a spoon to create a smooth surface. Place the crust into the freezer while you make the Biscoff cheesecake filling.
- Mix: In a stand mixer with whisk attachment or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, cream together the vegan cream cheese, dairy free yogurt, heavy vegan cream, sugar, and vanilla extract until fluffy and consistent, about 3-5 minutes. Then add in the Biscoff cookie butter, and mix again until combined, about 3 minutes.
- Pour: Remove the cookie crust from the freezer, and pour the cheesecake filling into the cookie crust. Smooth the top with a spoon or offset spatula.
- Freeze: Cover the top of the cheesecake with plastic wrap, and place the cheesecake into the freezer to set for 4 hours, or overnight.
- Plate:When ready to serve, remove the cheesecake from the freezer. Use a butter knife to gently run along the edges of the cheesecake before you unlock the springform pan. Carefully remove the springform pan wall, and place the cheesecake onto a plate.
- Serve: Melt any leftover cookie butter (I used about 1/3 cup) in a microwave safe bowl, and pour the cookie butter onto the top of the cheesecake. Sprinkle crushed Biscoff cookies on top, and decorate with more cookies if desired. Slice and serve!
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container and in the fridge for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Notes
Gluten Free Option: Swap in 1 batch homemade gluten free cookie butter and 2 batches of homemade Speculoos cookies (1 batch will be for the homemade cookie butter). Make sure to swap out the honey for maple syrup to ensure it’s vegan.
Vegan butter: You can use coconut oil if you’d prefer. I used Miyoko’s vegan butter here, but Earth Balance also works.
Vegan cream cheese: For nut-free, I recommend Tofutti or Violife. Other brands I like for this recipe are Miyoko’s vegan cream cheese.
Vegan dairy-free yogurt: I like using Forager Project cashew milk yogurt or Kite Hill almond milk Greek-style yogurt. For nut-free, you can use coconut milk yogurt or soy milk yogurt.
Heavy vegan cream: I used So Delicious! Heavy Vegan Cream. You can also use Country Crock. If you don’t have access to vegan double cream, you can use heavy coconut cream or coconut milk, or soy milk or oat milk.
Hi,am I reading it wrong or does it not mention cream in the ingredients list but where the * notes are it says heavy cream? Can’t wait to make this so I just wanna check 🙂
Hi Kierah! So sorry, that was a bit confusing! The ingredients list says the heavy dairy free milk, and then in the notes said heavy cream- they’re one in the same! I just updated it so that it would say both 🙂 You can use the store bought vegan heavy cream, like So Delicious! or Country Crock, OR if your store doesn’t have vegan heavy cream, you can use a heavier dairy free milk, like soy milk or oat milk- both will work!
This cake was a hit with everyone at work and no one else is vegan.
I’m in Australia so for the butter I used Nuttelex, for cream cheese I used the bio cream cheese, for thickened cream I used the flora brand, and for yoghurt I used the vitasoy soy yoghurt with vanilla. All available at woolies! Because I used these brands I found I didn’t need too much sugar as the yoghurt was already sweet so I halved the amount (only used 100g)
Thanks
So delicious and easy to make! I used coconut cream as I didn’t have a heavy vegan cream on hand and the texture was perfect. I look forward to making many of your other recipes, especially the cheesecakes!
This is so wonderful!! So glad you liked it 🙂 Enjoy!! And let me know what you try next!!
Can I use a nine inch springform pan instead?
Yes, definitely!
Absolutely fabulous recipe. My vegan friends Thank You!
So happy to hear it!! Thank you for the review 🙂
Made this for a dinner party with some vegan friends. Not only was it super easy but it was also absolutely delicious. I used less sugar (150g) and a bit less cookie butter and it came out amazing both texture and flavour! Thank you for this awesome recipe!
That is so wonderful! SO happy to hear it 🙂 Thank you so much for the review!
Looks great! In some of these photos the crust seems to be on the side of the cheesecake as well (not just the bottom per instructions). Can you explain how you did this?
Hi Jess! Oh SO sorry for the confusion, yes those process photos were taken at different times! You can work the crust up the sides of the pan, or you can have it just be a layer on the bottom- either way works!
Hi! I know this is a vegan recipe and it look delicious! Would it work the same with same ingredients but non vegan instead?
Hi Sharon!! So glad you like it 🙂 I haven’t tested this recipe with non-vegan ingredients so I can’t speak to it (because I’m truly vegan!). I know that some readers do who just use my recipes if they have egg allergies, and they often have success. In theory, yes it should work, but again, I don’t want to say 100% yes because I can’t personally vouch for the results. So sorry!
Thanks so much! I’m just gonna try to get all the vegan ingredients!!! Looks great
Oh wonderful!! I can’t wait to hear what you think 🙂 I love tofutti or kite hill for vegan cream cheese!! The flavor is so good!
I made this instead of Pumpkin Pie for Thanksgiving this year. I adore pumpkin pie, but I seriously had to try this. I am not kidding when I say it is extremely difficult to NOT eat the cheesecake part of this (the batter) before placing it on top of the crust! Good GRIEF! I mean, I judge how a cake or pie will turn out by the taste of its batter, and this one does not disappoint. I can’t wait to show this beauty off tomorrow at dinner. Get. In My. Mouth.
Oh I’m so so happy to hear this!! That’s exactly how I feel about the batter too 😉 You’re so sweet!! Enjoy and happy Thanksgiving!! Thank you for being here!
The flavor was so good. Used violife cream cheese and coconut yogurt. I think we messed up because the ingredients didn’t mix into a smooth blend. It looked kind of sandy. Realized too late that the heavy cream wasn’t at room temp, and think this was the issue. It looked like the fats didn’t merge. It didn’t impact taste. It was really tasty. Will make again for sure.
I made this for Thanksgiving and it was delicious. I had non vegans requesting I make it again. I let mine thaw in the fridge for a while and it had the best consistency. Will definitely make again!
Oh this is so wonderful!! So happy to hear it, thank you so much for the review! Enjoy!!
Hi Britt! This looks delicious 🙂 We don’t have Biscoff cookie spread here where I live – is there something I could substitute for that in the actual “cheese” layer? I had planned on making your caramel sauce for the topping (the one you linked).. could I double that recipe and use 1 cup of it in place of the biscoff? Thank you!
Hi Julea! Oh absolutely! You can sub in caramel, peanut butter, cashew butter, or even vegan nutella at a 1:1 ratio to the biscoff 🙂 Enjoy!
Made this twice already for thanksgiving and I have requests to make this for Christmas, a January birthday etc and this is all from non vegans! The first time I made it I used the full cup of sugar but we’re Polish so everyone said it was SOOOO good but a tad sweet. Next one I did half a cup of sugar and everyone raved. It looks WAY more complicated and fancy than what it is.
I used Kite Hill cream cheese, Country Crock plant based cream, and silk almond yogurt.
Omgsh!! This is wonderful!! I’m so happy you all loved it, and totally fine to use less sugar next time to your liking! 🙂 Enjoy and thank you so much for such a wonderful review!!
What flavor yogurt? Plain or vanilla?
I’ve used plain unsweetened and vanilla unsweetened, either work! The vanilla will just give it extra flavor 🙂
I made this for Christmas. Oh my goodness! This is legit the best cheesecake I have EVER eaten. Vegan and Non vegan. Fact. So easy, but tastes like it took days to make. Thanks Britt, for another insanely good and very user friendly recipe! 🖤
This is so wonderful!! Oh I’m so happy you loved it so much 🙂 Thank you for these kind words!! Enjoy!
What flavored yogurt do you use? I was assuming vanilla or plain?? Thanks in advance
Hi Chelsea! Yes, either of those works, as long as it’s unsweetened! Enjoy!
Came out perfect! It was absolutely delicious!! Thank you for sharing!!
Oh wonderful!! Enjoy!!
I just made this. It’s delicious. I couldn’t find vegan sour cream, so I just used double the vegan yogurt. Still delicious. 😋. Thank you. Ill post a pic on my IG and link you. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Oh I can’t wait to see! Thank you so much for sharing 🙂 So glad you loved it!! Enjoy!
Hey! I was wondering how many hours before serving the cake should I take it out of the freezer. Because it’s not specified in your recipe and my cake is completely frozen so I was just wondering how long it takes for the cake to unfreeze into a nice creamy texture. Thank you in advance for your answer 🙂
Hi Oza! About 15-20 minutes, it will be sliceable and you can serve it 🙂 Enjoy!!
Hi Britt! Thank you so much for this recipe! I made this for my daughters birthday, (I`m the only vegan) and everyone raved, it was so good! I used sweetened vanilla vegan yogurt, so I halved the amount of sugar, and it was perfect! definitely a keeper!
This is so wonderful!! Wow, thank you so much for this review! Enjoy 🙂
Hi Britt, we absolutely love this recipe! I haven’t made it in a while, but making for a birthday party tonight. How long before serving would you get it out of the freezer? Thanks in advance!
Hi Esther! Oh I’m so happy to her it! Yes, so for this, I would recommend letting it sit out for 20 minutes before serving! Right out of the freezer, you can pour on top the Biscoff topping then let it set while the cheesecake sits out at room temp! Enjoy 🙂
Delicious!!! Absolutely the best thing I’ve ever made🥰 I melted some biscoff butter on top before freezing then added the fresh crumbled cookies before serving. We ate with dairy free coffee ice cream & i’m melting on a cloud currently after eating this. I never leave reviews so really great recipe! 🤤🤤💙💙
Omgsh I love this!! Absolutely stunning!! Thank you so much for the review, I so appreciate it 🙂
Thank you for the great recipe. Really looking forward to „baking“ it.
I don’t have enough space in my freezer. Does it necessarily meet to be frozen or is it ok to cool in the fridge overnight instead?
Oh I hope you love it! So it definitely needs to set first in the freezer- I haven’t personally tried it where it just sets overnight in the fridge, but my first thought would be that it wouldn’t be cold enough nor long enough at that temperature to really firm up.
Can’t wait to make this! I’m making it this week.
Does the yogurt also have to be room temperature, or can that be cold? Also, is there something I can add to the cheesecake, or do to it, to make it more firm like a baked cheesecake?
Oh yay!! The yogurt can be cold! If you want a sturdier cheesecake, you can reduce the yogurt by half! Enjoy 🙂
Hey was wondering if you can use coconut sugar for this recipe?
I avoid white sugar at all costs
Thanks
Hi Jade! Yes you can! Although please note that biscoff contains granulated sugar- are you making your own Biscoff spread?
