About Lotus Cheesecake

Lotus Biscoff biscuits were created in 1932 in Belgium. They were made to be served with coffee, hence the name: Biscoff, biscuits and coffee! They have a delicious caramel flavor coupled with hints of cinnamon.

Likewise, the spread Lotus Biscoff Spread is a cookie butter with a rich and spreadable consistency. It is all the rage and has gone viral over the past few months!

Moreover, both these ingredients come together, along with cream cheese and cream, to form a delectable cheesecake. Seriously, what's not to love?

Ingredients for Lotus Biscoff Cheesecake
Untitled design - 5
  • Lotus Biscuits: You definitely need these biscuits to make the cheesecake! Lotus biscuits have a deep caramelized flavor and a hint of cinnamon. They have a unique taste. However, if you can't find them, try other caramelized biscuits.
  • Cream cheese: The base of any cheesecake is good quality cream cheese. Take it out of the refrigerator an hour before making so it can come to room temperature.
  • Cream: In addition to the cream cheese, cream adds richness and makes the cheesecake decadent.
  • Butter: Melted butter is mixed with the crushed biscuits to form the crust.
  • Lotus Biscoff Spread: The spread acts as a frosting for the cake, and is added to the cheesecake batter for an intense Lotus flavor.

For quantities, view the recipe card.

Instructions

Here's how to make this delicious dessert:

Prepare the Crust

Start by finely crushing the biscuits in a blender. If you don't have a chopper or blender, place the biscuits in a Ziploc bag and use a rolling pin to crush them.

  • In a blender bowl, place the Lotus biscuits.
  • Blend to form a powder.

Melt the butter and add it to the crushed biscuits. Mix well, and transfer to a springform pan. The biscuit and butter mixture should resemble wet sand. Press the biscuit mixture firmly in the bottom of the pan to form the base.

  • Add the melted butter to the crushed biscuits.
  • Combine well to form a coarse, sand-like mixture.
  • Press the biscuit mixture into the bottom of a pan.
  • Firmly press it down to form the crust of the cheesecake. Refrigerate the crust.

Refrigerate the crust while making the filling.

Prepare the Filling

Next, place the softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric beater for two minutes. Then, add the Lotus spread, salt, and vanilla essence, and beat it for 3-4 minutes or until the mixture is smooth.

  • In a bowl take the softened cream cheese.
  • Add the Lotus Biscoff spread to it.
  • Add the vanilla essence and salt.
  • Beat well with an electric whisk until it is smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Set it aside.

Whip the Cream

In another chilled bowl, beat the chilled cream until it forms soft peaks, usually about 5-7 minutes. Next, add the icing sugar and beat again until well combined.

  • In another bowl, pour the chilled cream.
  • Beat it well for about 5-7 minutes.
  • Add the icing sugar and beat again.
  • Beat the whipping cream till soft peaks form.

Combine and Chill

Combine the cream mixture with the cream cheese mixture by gently folding them together until thoroughly combined.

  • Next, combine both the whipped cream and cream cheese mixtures.
  • Beat well until smooth.

Next, pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust and spread out evenly. Cover the pan with cling film.

  • Combine the mixtures well.
  • Pour the cheesecake batter on top of the prepared crust.
  • Gently pour the batter over the crust.
  • Even out the top of the cheesecake and refrigerate for at least 12 hours or overnight.

Chill Overnight

Refrigerate your cheesecake for 10-12 hours or overnight so it is completely set.

  • Place the cheesecake in the fridge to chill.

Decoration

Finally, before serving the cheesecake, microwave the Lotus Biscoff spread for 30 seconds or until it becomes runny. Pour it over the cheesecake and spread it out evenly.

  • Once chilled, decorate the top of the cheesecake.
  • Melt Lotus Biscoff spread in the microwave for 30 seconds and pour on top of the cheesecake.

You can also add crushed Lotus biscuits on top of the cake. Serve the cheesecake cold, and enjoy this rich and perfect dessert!

Decorate the cheesecake with crushed Lotus biscuits.

Hint:

Always have all ingredients at room temperature for easy mixing and blending.

Before beating the cream, chill both the cream and the bowl in which you will beat it for easier whisking.

Always use a springform pan when making a cheesecake for easy removal. You can also make and serve it in a clear glass dish or trifle bowl.

Your delicious Lotus Cheesecake is ready! Serve chilled.

Variations

This no-bake dessert is not only easy to make and delicious, but it is also very versatile! You can make lots of variations of it:

  • Nutella Cheesecake: Replace the Lotus Biscoff spread with Nutella and Lotus biscuits with your favorite chocolate biscuits, and you have a delicious Nutella cheesecake!
  • Cookies n' Cream Cheesecake: Add crushed Oreos to the cheesecake batter, and make the crust using Oreos.
  • Strawberries n' Cream Cheesecake: On the other hand, if you are a fruit lover, make a delicious cheesecake by adding fresh, chopped strawberries to the cheesecake batter. Make a thick strawberry puree for the topping. For the crust, use your favorite vanilla cookies or wafers.

Equipment

Here's a list of the kitchen equipment I used to prepare Lotus Cheesecake

  • 2 large mixing bowls
  • Spatula
  • Electric Beater/Whisk
  • Grinder/Blender
  • Springform pan, transparent platter, or trifle bowl.

Top tips

  • You can make this cold dessert a day ahead and let it chill completely in the fridge overnight.
  • Chilling the cheesecake is key! You must let it get very cold to set properly. It's best to leave it in your refrigerator overnight.
  • Always have all your ingredients at room temperature before starting the recipe.
  • Crush the biscuits in a Ziploc bag using a rolling pin if you don't have a blender or grinder.
  • Always chill your cream before whipping; chill the bowl you will whip it in, too.

FAQ

Lotus Biscoff spread is made of crushed Lotus biscuits mixed with cream, oil, and sugar. It has a smooth, spreadable consistency, so you can spread it on bread for a delicious treat.

Can I substitute Lotus Biscoff with some other biscuit?

Lotus biscuits have a caramelized taste with a hint of cinnamon. You can try other caramelized biscuits or ones made with brown sugar, instead.

About Sana Umer

I'm Sana Umer — the home cook behind every recipe on For Foodie Friends. I'm a Pakistani-American mom of two based in the US, and I've been cooking seriously for about a decade now, mostly because feeding a family every day is the fastest way to learn how to actually cook.

I'm completely self-taught. I learned by watching my mother in Pakistan, by burning a lot of food in my early years, and by paying attention to which recipes worked and which ones needed fixing. I don't specialize in just one cuisine — I cook the Pakistani dishes I grew up with, the American desserts my kids request, weeknight dinners, holiday roasts, and everything in between.

Every recipe is personally tested in my own kitchen, every word is written by me, and every photo is taken of food I actually made.

Hi, I'm Sana Umer — the home cook, recipe tester, and writer behind For Foodie Friends.

I'm a Pakistani-American mom based in the US. I learned to cook in two kitchens — my mother's in Pakistan, where I grew up watching whole spices bloom in oil, and my own kitchen now, where I cook for my husband and kids.

Every recipe on this site has been tested in my own kitchen, often more times than I'd like to admit, before it ever made it here. I cook a little bit of everything: the Pakistani comfort food I grew up with, the American desserts my kids beg for, weeknight dinners that need to come together fast, and the holiday spreads that take all day.

If a recipe is on this site, it earned its place. No ghostwriters, no AI shortcuts, no copy-paste from somewhere else — just real recipes from a real kitchen, written to actually work the first time you make them.

Welcome to my corner of the internet.

— Sana
