Vegan, no-bake, quick & easy.
No-bake cheesecakes are my all-time favourite dessert and this cheesecake, in particular, is my new favourite!
Find more of my Biscoff recipes here.
I am so happy to share this recipe with you guys, it's cheesecake perfection!
This vegan Biscoff cheesecake is super quick & easy to make and contains only a few 'easy to find' ingredients.
To make it lighter, I used coconut cream and soaked cashew nuts which give the perfect creamy filling for this indulgent cheesecake.
If you haven't heard of Biscoff cookies before, they're a buttery, caramel cookie which is accidentally vegan! They taste like buttery digestive cookies with caramel...they're delicious and irresistible.
This cheesecake is:
- Creamy
- Gooey
- Full of flavour
Not only have I used the classic 'Lotus' cookie in this recipe, I also use the Lotus Biscoff spread!
It's silky smooth and creamy, to the texture of smooth peanut butter..but cookies! You'll want to eat it by the spoon! It's HEAVEN.
This heavenly cheesecake would be the perfect dessert for a special occasion or cookie lovers!
Happy "baking"!
Preparation time: Overnight

Chilling time: 4-6 hours (or overnight)

____________________________________________________________
Ingredients for the base
- 160g of Lotus Biscoff cookies
- 60g of dairy-free butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons of coconut oil (melted)
Ingredients for the filling
- 180g of cashew nuts (soaked overnight & drained)
- 2 cans of coconut cream (cream only)
- 3 tablespoons of Lotus Biscoff spread
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla bean paste
- 2 tablespoons of coconut oil (melted)

Decoration
- Biscoff spread

- Vegan cream
____________________________________________________________
Method (base)
1. Line a 8'' cake tin with greaseproof paper.
2. Place the cookies into a food processor/blender and whizz up until crumbly, but not too fine.
3. Melt the butter and coconut oil.
4. In a bowl, add in the crushed cookies and pour over the melted butter & coconut oil and mix until like wet sand.
5. Press the mixture into the lined cake tin, making sure to compact it in using a spoon or clean hands.
Place into the freezer whilst you make the filling.
Method (filling)
1. Drain the cashew nuts and place them into a food processor/blender along with the coconut cream, Biscoff spread, vanilla, melted coconut oil.
2. Whizz up on high for around 5 minutes until smooth.
Add a splash of water if needed.
3. Pour the filling into the base, level with a spoon and pop back into the freezer to set.
Allow the cheesecake to set fully.
This will take around 4-6 hours (I leave mine to set overnight).
Store in a sealed container in the freezer and defrost fully before serving.
I spread some of the Lotus Biscoff spread all over the top of the cheesecake, and decorated it with some vegan squirty cream stars, topped with grated dairy-free white chocolate and a Lotus Biscoff cookies.
You could even melt some of the Biscoff spread and drizzle it over for even more cookie goodness!
Delicious!

ReplyDeleteThankyou so much Natalie! x
Deletesilly question - for the "2 cans of coconut cream (cream only)" - is it 2 cans and use only the cream part (ie the cans with the cream taken out - and the liquid used for something else) - or should i find cans of the *cream* only? thanks!
ReplyDeleteHello. Use full fat coconut cream 400ml cans. Place them in the fridge for 2 hours and then take the lid off and scoop out the thick cream part on top. The liquid is good to use for chia pudding and smoothies. The cans are what you need as they contain a preservative that keeps the stiffness to the coconut cream. Hope this helps.
Deletehi, can i ask how big is your tin in inches or centimeters?
ReplyDeleteHello, I use a 8 inch tin :) x
DeleteYes I would like to know the answer to the coconut cream question too please! I am assuming it's actual creamed coconut that's needed as there wouldn't be enough cream to skim out of the cans?
ReplyDeleteI'd like to know this too. Did you get an answer?
DeleteHello,
DeleteIts called coconut milk. Drain away the clear liquid out of the tins, and use the thick white cream. Hope that helps :) x
This looks incredible I need to try it xxx

DeleteHi, what size is each coconut cream can? 400ml each or 160ml?
ReplyDeleteHello, I use 400ml tins. You need to drain the water from the can and just use the cream part :) x
DeleteHello! Can you give me in grams how much of coconut cream is needed please? Thanks :)
DeleteHi. Can you drizzle melted biscoff spread on top once frozen and then freeze without the melted biscoff melting the cake???
ReplyDeleteHello, you can freeze it with or without the biscoff spread. Just make sure you defrost it completely :) x
DeleteHello how long will this last if I make it and just freeze it ? Many thanks x x x

Hello :) is can you use cans of coconut milk? But just the cream part? Or does it have to be cans of coconut cream?
ReplyDeleteHello,
DeleteIts coconut milk (but you drain away the liquid from the tins and only use the thick white cream. Hope that helps :) x
Hi, is there anything else I could use instead of cashew nuts? I have a nut allergy.

How do you spread the biscoff without breaking the cake
DeleteHello, as its cheesecake and not cake, it won't break.
DeleteYou'll melt the biscoff sprad too before adding it on :) x
Hi ... looks delicious ! Just a question- I can’t seem to find Biscoff spread. Is there a way I could make it at home ?
ReplyDeleteHi thanks for the amazing recipe! Just a quick question. Do we use salted or unsalted cashew nuts?
ReplyDeleteMany thanks
Hello Stella, I have used both and they're both delicious, but unsalted works best :) x
