Description
This no-bake pistachio Biscoff cheesecake combines a crunchy cookie crust with a rich and creamy pistachio-cream cheese filling, creating a luxurious dessert with minimal effort and maximum flavor.
Ingredients
- 200 g Biscoff cookies (about one standard pack)
- 80 g unsalted butter, melted
- 500 g full-fat cream cheese, softened
- 150 g pistachio paste (or high-quality pistachio nut butter)
- 1/4 cup (about 50 g) powdered sugar
- 200 ml heavy (whipping) cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 50 g crushed pistachios (optional, for topping)
- Extra pistachio nuts or decorations (optional)
Instructions
- Line the base of an 8-inch (20 cm) springform pan with parchment paper and lightly grease the sides.
- Crush the Biscoff cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin.
- Mix the crumbs with melted butter until evenly combined and the mixture resembles damp sand.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Chill in the fridge while preparing the filling.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, pistachio paste, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the pistachio-cream cheese mixture until smooth and airy.
- Spoon the filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until set.
- Before serving, decorate the top with crushed pistachios and any desired toppings. Release from the springform pan, slice, and serve chilled.
Notes
- Chill overnight for the best texture and clean slices.
- Use full-fat cream cheese for structure; low-fat versions may result in a softer set.
- No gelatin is needed—whipped cream provides stability.
- Can be made ahead and stored covered in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Use a hot, dry knife for clean slicing.
