White chocolate Biscoff swirl cheesecake
So say hello to my new favourite cheesecake. Honestly? I am OBSESSED WITH IT. I realise that this is something that I say often about a cheesecake, or something biscoff related, but it’s true! I am genuinely obsessed with my latest cheesecake recipe!
Biscoff is something that has been always highly regarded in my opinion, and especially on my blog – with so many of you baking my Biscoff recipes daily – so I thought I would take something to the next level. Combine white chocolate and make something utterly beautiful.
Base
For the biscuit base, you can use pretty much any biscuit you want – however, I will obviously recommend using Biscoff biscuits! For the cheesecake photographed I used about 2/3 biscoff biscuits, and 1/3 digestives as that’s what I had – but just biscoff is better.
The caramelised and slightly spiced flavour of the lotus biscoff biscuits is just utterly dreamy – and its the perfect base for a cheesecake. Honestly, it’s one of the reasons I adore my Biscoff cheesecake and my Biscoff millionaires so much!
Filling
For the cheesecake part, I basically took inspiration from my white chocolate & raspberry cheesecake, and my Milkybar cheesecake, and thought why mess with something that isn’t broken.
The rest is quite straight forward really – I just added in the biscoff, and then folded a few times, and it made the perfect swirled mixture. You don’t want to do this bit by a machine – you want to do this by hand, and with a spatula. It needs to only be lightly folded through, so it doesn’t ruin the effect!
Chocolate
You can of course use whatever flavour chocolate you want – whether its white chocolate, or milk chocolate, or even dark chocolate… but I think white chocolate works the best. Not only does it mean that you can still see the biscoff swirl, I think the flavour balance is perfection.
White chocolate is typically quite sweet, whereas biscoff isn’t so sweet – it creates the ideal balance on flavours. You can use the smooth spread, or the crunchy spread – it doesn’t make a difference other than the texture of the spreads!
Decoration
For the decoration, you can basically do whatever you fancy. I drizzled over some biscoff spread that I have microwaved for 20 seconds or so, then added some whipped cream, some white chocolate shavings, and the lotus biscuits!
One quick tip I must say – if you don’t want to decorate it with whipped cream, that’s fine! However, don’t use canned whipped cream if you think it’s going to be easier. Already whipped cream out of a can will deflate every quickly and basically melt! It doesn’t look the best..!
Top tips!
One of my main top tips for this cheesecake though is to use FULL-FAT INGREDIENTS. It’s so important to let a cheesecake set, you need the fat content. If you use lower fat, you will want to use gelatine, and then it will have a jelly texture which is never pleasant in cheesecakes in my opinion.
When you are whisking the ingredients together you can do it a number of ways. I whisk my cream cheese and vanilla until smooth, add in the melted and cooled white chocolate and whisk again, and then add in the double cream and whisk again. You can whisk the cream separately to soft peaks and fold it through, but I prefer the first method!
White Chocolate Biscoff Swirl Cheesecake!
Ingredients
Biscuit Base
- 300 g Biscoff biscuits **
- 125 g unsalted butter (melted)
Cheesecake Filling
- 200 g white chocolate
- 500 g full-fat cream cheese (room temp)
- 75 g icing sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 300 ml double cream
- 200 g Biscoff spread
Decoration
- 50 g Biscoff spread (melted)
- 150 ml double cream
- 2 tbsp icing sugar
- White chocolate shavings
- Biscoff biscuits
Instructions
Biscuit Base
- Blitz your biscuits to a fine crumb in a food processor.
- Add in your melted butter, and mix again.
- Press into the bottom of a 20cm/8" deep springform tin.
Cheesecake Filling
- Melt your white chocolate until smooth - I do this in the microwave. Leave it to cool for about 10 minutes.
- Add your cream cheese, icing sugar and vanilla to a bowl and whisk until smooth.
- Add in your cooled white chocolate, and whisk again.
- Add in your double cream, and whisk again until thick. Alternatively, whisk your cream separately to soft peaks, and fold into the other mixture.
- Once thick, dollop in your biscoff spread - fold through with a spatula briefly so it swirls through the mixture!
- Spread the mixture onto your base, making sure to fill the tin properly around the edges to avoid any gaps.
- Set the cheesecake in the fridge for a minimum of 6-8 hours, but preferably overnight.
Decoration
- Once your cheesecake has set, carefully remove it from the tin.
- Drizzle over your melted biscoff spread.
- Whip together the double cream and icing sugar to soft peaks - and pipe in swirls! I used a 2D closed star piping tip.
- Add on some white chocolate shavings, and some biscoff biscuits.
Notes
- ** if you want to use less biscuits, you will need less butter.
- This cheesecake will last for 3 days in the fridge.
- Please use full-fat ingredients to help make sure it sets.
- You can use smooth or crunchy spread!
- If you struggle with your cheesecakes setting or mixing, try having your cream cheese at room temperature before starting!
- To shave the white chocolate, I used a cheese grater!
- All the decoration is optional!
- If you want to make a smaller cheesecake, you can half the mixture - and use a 6" deep tin!
ENJOY!

Hi, which Biscoff spread do you use please? Smooth or crunchy?
I use smooth but both work!
I really want to make this but here in Spain it’s impossible to buy fresh double cream. Would whipping cream work, it has 35g fat per 100ml
Hey! You can use your equivalent but you may want to use gelatine to make sure it sets or whip the cream separately to stiff peaks xx
I love this recipe, so easy but tastes and looks amazing. The tour chef for Red Hot Chili Peppers said it was amazing and on another level when he tried it (my son’s lodger).
Hey! Oh my gosh this is so cool and makes me so happy!xx
So I made this delicious mixture and it’s in the fridge for the overnight set. I’m not quite sure if the consistency was thick enough but did use full fat cream cheese and double cream. Could you give me an idea of the right thickness eg. does not drop easily from a spoon, or firm peaks etc. If the cheesecake is not firm enough after overnight fridgeration, should I put it in the freezer for an hour or 2? Thanking you in advance!
Hello! It should just be really thick and not runny, but yes the freezer would solve it xx
Made for my son’s birthday-
Instructions lovely and easy to follow and he’s very happy
Hey Jane, can I use stork butter for the base please? Xx
Hello! Yes you can x
This recipe is amazing and very easy to follow
It tasted amazing
Hi Jane
If I was to take out the white chocolate how much extra biscoff spread should I add?
Thanks xx
Have a look at my regular Biscoff Cheesecake x
Hi Jane,
I’ve made this cheesecake before in the full size version and loved it, I’m looking to make this as individual ones, I have a tin with twelve holes with loose bottoms that are 6cm wide and 3cm deep, would I have to adjust the recipe quantities at all?
Thank you in advance x
I would half the recipe – use my mini chocolate orange cheesecake recipe as a guide! x
How deep does the tin need to be please?
Mine is 2.75″ deep x
Hello! Thank you for your recipes. I’ve read the comments and think I will need to add some gelatine to help it set (I’m in America where ingredients and fat content differs). Would you be able to approximate how many sheets/grams to add to help it set well? I’m hoping to make this for Christmas. Thank you!
It can definitely depend on the strength of the gelatine leaves, but I usually use one sachet of gelatine powder for a cheesecake which is about 12g here! x
This looks absolutely wonderful, Is there somewhere that im missing where it will convert to regular measurements
What do you consider ‘regular’ measurements? The recipes are available in grams and ounces.
