Description
Rich, creamy, and caramel-flavored no-bake cheesecake bars that require zero oven time. This adaptable recipe includes easy swaps for gluten-free, dairy-free, and lighter versions without compromising on taste.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (about 250g) Biscoff cookies
- ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 16 oz (450g) full-fat block cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (250g) smooth Biscoff spread
- 1 cup (240ml) cold heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup (60g) powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2–3 tablespoons Biscoff spread, warmed (for topping)
- Crushed Biscoff cookies (for garnish)
Instructions
- Line a 9×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal.
- Crush Biscoff cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or zip-top bag. Mix with melted butter and salt until resembling wet sand.
- Press the crust mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Refrigerate while making the filling.
- In a large bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and Biscoff spread until smooth and creamy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula until just combined and fluffy.
- Pour the filling over the chilled crust and spread evenly. Tap the pan gently to release air bubbles.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until firm.
- Lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper. Cut into squares using a sharp knife, wiping the blade between cuts.
- Drizzle with warmed Biscoff spread and sprinkle with crushed cookies before serving.
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps. Sift powdered sugar for a smooth texture. Press the crust firmly to prevent crumbling. Chill the knife before slicing for clean cuts. Can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
