What is Lotus No-Bake Cheesecake?

Lotus Biscoff Biscuits were created by Belgian baker, Jan Boone, in the 1930s. The name comes from the combination of the words “biscuit” and “coffee” since the two are a popular and loved duo. These cookies are a type of shortbread with a lot of spices (nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice, etc.) and have a deep caramel flavor. It’s this caramel flavor that works so well with a creamy dessert. The cookies are used in the base, while the Lotus Biscoff spread (or cream) is used for the filling and topping.

Tips

• For best results, use full-fat cream and not low-fat.
• Instead of a Lotus cream on top, you can also top the cake with caramel.
• If you can’t find Lotus Biscoff cookies in a store near you, you can also use speculoos cookies.
• For best results, use Philadelphia cream cheese. You can also substitute the cream cheese with a high-quality mascarpone.
