Not all desserts have to be complicated to be impressive. Some of the most delightful treats come from simple, high-quality ingredients, just like Lotus Biscoff Bars. These bars capture the caramelized flavor of Lotus Biscoff cookies, transforming them into a no-bake dessert.

With a crunchy cookie crust, cream cheese filling, and cookie butter, Lotus Bars deliver a multi-textured experience in every bite. This no-bake dish is the perfect treat for any occasion, or anyone who appreciates the sweet, slightly spiced taste of Lotus cookies

The Story Behind Lotus Biscoff Bars

Lotus Biscoff cookies originated in Belgium and have been a favorite for decades. Originally served alongside coffee, these cookies became so popular that they were transformed into the irresistible cookie butter we all know and love. Lotus Bars take this legendary recipe and elevate it by combining crushed biscuits with cheesecake-like filling, all topped with cookie butter.

The caramelized flavor of Lotus cookies comes from a unique baking process that caramelizes the sugar naturally, no extra caramel needed.

Pro Tips for the Best Lotus Biscoff Bars

  • The longer you let the bars set, the better the texture. Overnight is ideal!
  • Make sure your cream cheese is soft before mixing to avoid lumps.
  • When spreading the melted cookie butter on top, use an offset spatula for a flawless finish.
  • Dip a knife in warm water before slicing for cleaner cuts.
  • You can play with different toppings. Add crushed cookies or a drizzle of chocolate for extra flair.

Can I Use Another Type of Cookie?

Absolutely! While Lotus cookies bring a signature caramelized flavor, you can experiment with graham crackers, digestive biscuits, or even Oreos for a twist.

How Long Do Lotus Bars Last?

If stored in the fridge in an airtight container, they can last up to 5 days. But let’s be real, they’ll be gone way before that!

Why Is My Filling Runny?

If your filling isn’t setting, you may have under-whipped the cream. Beat until soft peaks form to ensure a firm consistency.

What Can I Serve with Lotus Bars?

A scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or even a drizzle of melted chocolate would complement these bars perfectly.

Do I Have to Use a Square Pan?

Nope! You can use a round springform pan to turn this into a no-bake cheesecake or even make mini portions using muffin tins.

How to Store Lotus Biscoff Bars

To store leftovers of this cookie butter cheesecake, cover it tightly with plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container. Keep it in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.

For longer storage, you can freeze individual slices by wrapping them well and thawing them in the fridge before serving. Be sure to enjoy them within a month for the best texture.
