Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • 9-inch springform pan
  • Electric Mixer
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Rubber spatula

Ingredients
  

For the Crust:

  • 2 cups Biscoff cookie crumbs (you'll need two packages; see note)
  • 7 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt

For the Filling:

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 16 oz cream cheese at room temperature
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice from 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

Directions: No-Bake Cheesecake

  • In a medium bowl, combine the Biscoff cookie crumbs, melted butter, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix until the crumbs are fully coated and resemble wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer. Use a flat-bottomed measuring cup to help pack it down tightly.
  • In a separate large mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese and ½ cup of granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. It’s essential that your cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps in your filling.
  • Mix in the fresh lemon juice and vanilla extract. Make sure everything is well incorporated.
  • In another bowl, whip the heavy cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. This will give your cheesecake that light, airy texture.
  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a rubber spatula. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream; you want to maintain that fluffy texture.
  • Pour the cheesecake filling onto the prepared crust in the springform pan. Use the spatula to smooth the top. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
  • Once set, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Slice and serve as is, or add your favorite toppings for an extra special touch!

Notes

  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Consider making the cheesecake a day in advance for best flavor.
  • Feel free to experiment with different cookie types for the crust.
