This Blueberry Biscoff Cheesecake is a total winner. It’s no-bake, bursting with flavour, and honestly, it’s so easy to make, you’ll be whipping it up again and again. I first made this for a summer potluck and it disappeared in minutes – seriously!

This cheesecake is the perfect balance of creamy, crunchy, and fruity. The Biscoff cookie crust adds a lovely spiced sweetness, the cheesecake filling is unbelievably smooth, and the blueberry compote brings a beautiful tartness that cuts through the richness. Plus, it’s a no-bake recipe, which means less time baking and more time enjoying! It’s ideal for warm weather, but honestly, who needs a reason for cheesecake?
Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to create this dreamy dessert:
- 1 box (125gm) blueberries
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp lime juice
- 10 Biscoff Lotus cookies
- 50 gm melted butter
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 1 pack (200gm) Philadelphia cream cheese
- 1/4 cup sugar
- A pinch salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Ingredient Notes
Let’s talk ingredients! A few little things can make all the difference:
- Biscoff Lotus Cookies: These are key to that amazing crust. Their caramelised spice flavour is just perfect. You can find them in most supermarkets now, or online. Don’t skip these!
- Philadelphia Cream Cheese: I always use Philadelphia for cheesecakes. It gives the best, most stable texture. Make sure it’s full-fat and softened to room temperature for a super smooth filling.
- Lime Juice in the Compote: A little lime juice brightens up the blueberry compote beautifully. It balances the sweetness and adds a lovely zing. Don’t be tempted to skip it! It really elevates the flavour.
Step-By-Step Instructions
Alright, let’s get baking (well, chilling, actually!).
- First, let’s make the blueberry compote. In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, 2 tbsp sugar, and 1 tsp lime juice. Let this sit for about 15 minutes – this helps the blueberries release their juices.
- Now, cook the compote over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries break down and it thickens into a jam-like consistency. This usually takes about 10-15 minutes. Once it’s done, remove from the heat and let it cool completely.
- Time for the crust! Line a 23cm springform pan with parchment paper. Crush the Biscoff cookies – you can use a food processor or pop them in a ziplock bag and bash them with a rolling pin. Mix the crushed cookies with the 50gm melted butter until well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan.
- Now for the creamy filling! In a large bowl, whip the 1 cup whipping cream until stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, beat the 200gm Philadelphia cream cheese, 1/4 cup sugar, a pinch of salt, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until everything is just combined.
- Pour the cheesecake mixture over the Biscoff crust and spread it evenly. Cover the pan and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow it to set.
- Once the cheesecake is set, drop spoonfuls of the cooled blueberry compote onto the top. Use a knife to swirl the compote into the cheesecake – this creates a beautiful marbled effect.
- Chill for another hour (or longer, if you can resist!) before serving. To get clean slices, dip a sharp knife in warm water before each cut.
Expert Tips
- Don’t overmix the cheesecake filling! Overmixing can incorporate too much air and result in a less dense cheesecake.
- For a super smooth compote, you can strain it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the blueberry skins.
- Make sure your cream cheese is really softened. This will prevent lumps in your filling.
Variations
Want to switch things up? Here are a few ideas:
- Gluten-Free Option: Simply use gluten-free Biscoff-style cookies for the crust. There are some great options available now!
- Vegan Adaptation: You can easily make this vegan by using plant-based cream cheese and whipped cream alternatives. My friend, Priya, swears by the cashew-based cream cheese for a similar texture.
- Festival Adaptations: This is a fantastic summer dessert! It’s light, refreshing, and perfect for picnics or barbecues.
Serving Suggestions
This cheesecake is delicious on its own, but you can also serve it with:
- A dollop of fresh whipped cream
- A sprinkle of chopped Biscoff cookies
- A few extra fresh blueberries
Storage Instructions
Leftover cheesecake (if there is any!) should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
