What Is Biscoff Spread?

Biscoff spread, also known as cookie butter, is made from crushed Biscoff cookies blended into a smooth, creamy spread. It has a rich caramel flavor with warm spices, and it melts beautifully.

Because of that, it’s perfect for creating that signature lava center in this cheesecake.

How to Make Biscoff Lava Cheesecake

Make the crust

In a bowl, combine 2 cups crushed Biscoff cookies with 5 tablespoons melted butter. Stir until the mixture looks like wet sand.

Next, press the mixture firmly into the bottom of your dessert cups. Then place them in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes so the crust can set.


Prepare the cheesecake filling

In a large mixing bowl, beat 16 ounces softened cream cheese with ½ cup powdered sugar until smooth.

Then add ¾ cup Biscoff spread and mix until fully combined.

In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream until soft peaks form. After that, gently fold the whipped cream into the Biscoff mixture. This step keeps the filling light and fluffy.


Create the lava center

Spoon a layer of cheesecake filling over the chilled crust.

Then add a spoonful of slightly warmed Biscoff spread right into the center. This is what creates that molten middle.

Finally, cover with another layer of cheesecake filling and smooth the top.


Chill

Place the cups in the refrigerator for at least 2–3 hours. For best results, let them chill overnight so everything sets perfectly.


Finish and serve

Right before serving, drizzle melted Biscoff over the top and sprinkle with crushed cookies.

Then grab a spoon and dig in—you’ll see that lava center flow!

FAQ

Can I use a generic cookie butter instead of Biscoff?

Yes, you can. However, Biscoff has a richer flavor and melts more smoothly, which gives you that perfect lava effect.


Can I make this ahead of time?

Absolutely. In fact, this dessert is even better when made a day in advance.


How do I get the lava center just right?

Warm the Biscoff slightly and avoid over-chilling beyond overnight. That keeps the center soft and scoopable.
