What Kind of Biscoff Spread Should I Use?

For the best results, go for the smooth Biscoff spread in a jar—readily available in most grocery stores or online. The smooth version blends easier into your cheesecake base and melts effortlessly when drizzled on top. If you want added crunch, you can sprinkle crushed Biscoff cookies or use crunchy spread, but make sure your base layer remains creamy for structure.

Granulated Sugar: To lightly sweeten the cream cheese layer.

Vanilla Extract: Adds warmth and enhances the cookie butter flavor.

Egg: Helps the creamy layer set when baked.

Chocolate Chips: For melty bursts of chocolate in each bite.

How To Make the Dessert Bars Made with Biscoff Spread

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. In a bowl, mix crushed graham crackers with melted unsalted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press it firmly into the bottom of your prepared pan to form an even crust. Bake for 8-10 minutes and set aside to cool.

Step 2: Make the Creamy Cheesecake Filling

In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract, then continue beating until fully combined. Gently fold in the chocolate chips. Pour this mixture over the cooled crust and smooth out the top.

Step 3: Swirl in the Biscoff

Warm the Biscoff spread slightly in the microwave so it’s pourable (about 20 seconds). Drizzle half of it over the cream cheese layer and swirl lightly with a knife to create a marbled look.

Step 4: Bake to Perfection

Bake the bars in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is set and no longer jiggly. Allow them to cool completely in the pan, then chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours.

Step 5: Add the Final Touches

Once chilled, melt the remaining Biscoff spread and drizzle over the top. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips or crushed Biscoff cookies for an extra touch.

Step 6: Slice and Serve

Use a sharp knife to slice into squares. Wipe the blade clean between cuts for the neatest edges. Enjoy chilled or at room temperature for the ultimate cookie butter experience.

How to Serve and Store Dessert Bars Made with Biscoff Spread

These bars are delicious served chilled for clean slices and a firmer texture, or slightly warmed if you prefer a softer, meltier bite. For a gorgeous dessert platter, top each bar with a swirl of whipped cream or an extra drizzle of cookie butter. They’re great for parties, bake sales, or as an afternoon coffee treat.

To store, keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze the sliced bars individually wrapped in parchment paper and sealed in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Let thaw in the fridge overnight or on the counter for 30 minutes before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Biscoff spread made of?

Biscoff spread, also known as cookie butter, is made from ground Biscoff cookies, which have a caramelized, spiced flavor. It’s blended into a smooth, creamy consistency perfect for baking or spreading.

Can I use crunchy Biscoff spread instead?

Yes! Crunchy Biscoff spread works well if you want a little extra texture. You can use it in the filling or as a topping, but keep the base smooth for the best structure.

Do I have to bake the crust first?

Pre-baking the crust helps it stay firm and prevents it from becoming soggy. It only takes 10 minutes and is worth the extra step for a crisp bottom layer.

How do I get clean cuts on the bars?

Chill the bars completely and use a very sharp knife. Clean the blade between each cut for those Instagram-worthy edges.

Can I double the recipe?

Absolutely! Just use a 9×13-inch pan and increase the baking time by about 5-8 minutes. Keep an eye on the center to ensure it sets properly.

Are these bars very sweet?

They are sweet, but the tangy cream cheese helps balance the rich Biscoff and chocolate. You can reduce the chocolate chips slightly if you prefer a more mellow bite.
