Plus, no oven means they’re ideal for hot summer days or when your oven is busy!

The Rise of Biscoff in Desserts

Biscoff, originally known as Lotus Biscoff, are Belgian-made speculoos cookies famous for their distinctive caramelized flavor and crisp texture. Their popularity exploded globally, not just as a coffee accompaniment, but also as a star ingredient in desserts. The advent of Biscoff cookie butter (a spreadable form of the crushed cookies) further propelled Biscoff into the dessert limelight, offering an easy way to infuse that unique flavor into everything from milkshakes to cakes and, of course, no-bake bars.

No-bake desserts gained popularity for their convenience, particularly useful for home bakers without ovens or during hot weather. Marrying the ease of no-bake preparation with the beloved Biscoff flavor results in a treat that is both simple and sophisticated. These bars highlight Biscoff’s sweet, subtly spiced notes, making them a modern classic for those seeking effortless indulgence with a unique twist.

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to create these easy and delicious No-Bake Biscoff Bars:

For the Crust:

• 2 cups Biscoff cookies, finely crushed (about 1 package)
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

For the Filling:

• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup Biscoff cookie butter (smooth variety recommended)
• 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed (like Cool Whip)

For the Topping/Garnish (Optional):

• 1/4 cup Biscoff cookie butter, melted (for drizzling)
• 1/4 cup Biscoff cookies, coarsely crushed (for sprinkle)

Swaps and Notes

• Biscoff Cookies: The original Biscoff cookies are essential for that signature flavor. Fine crumbs are needed for the crust; a food processor works best.
• Biscoff Cookie Butter: Use the smooth variety for the filling for a creamy texture. You can typically find this near peanut butter or other spreads in your grocery store.
• Cream Cheese: Ensure your cream cheese is completely softened to room temperature for a smooth, lump-free filling. Full-fat brick-style cream cheese is recommended for the best results.
• Whipped Topping: Thawed frozen whipped topping (like Cool Whip) provides the light, airy texture and stability for the filling. Homemade whipped cream might be too delicate for this recipe’s structure.
• Powdered Sugar: Sifting the powdered sugar is crucial to avoid lumps in your filling.
• Vanilla Extract: Enhances the overall sweet flavor.
• Toppings: The extra melted Biscoff cookie butter drizzle and crushed cookies on top are optional but highly recommended for an extra layer of Biscoff flavor and visual appeal.

Steps for the Recipe

Let’s get these delicious no-bake bars chilling!

1. Prepare Pan: Line an 8×8 inch or 9×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides. This will make it easy to lift the bars out later.
2. Make the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the finely crushed Biscoff cookies and the melted butter. Stir until the crumbs are evenly moistened. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Place in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
3. Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until very smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
4. Add Sweetener & Vanilla: Add the sifted powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Beat on low speed until just combined, then increase to medium and beat until light and fluffy.
5. Fold in Biscoff & Whipped Topping: Add the Biscoff cookie butter to the cream cheese mixture and beat until well incorporated. Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until no streaks remain and the mixture is light and airy. Be careful not to deflate the whipped topping.
6. Assemble Bars: Pour the filling mixture over the chilled Biscoff crust in the pan. Spread evenly with a spatula.
7. Chill: Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight, until the bars are completely firm and set. This is crucial for easy slicing.
8. Garnish (Optional): Once the bars are completely firm, lift them out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Melt the extra 1/4 cup of Biscoff cookie butter in the microwave for 15-30 seconds until drizzly. Drizzle over the top of the bars. Sprinkle with coarsely crushed Biscoff cookies.
9. Slice & Serve: Cut into squares and serve chilled.

Tips for Success

• Firmly Press Crust: A well-packed crust will hold together better when sliced.
• Chill Thoroughly: This is the most important step for no-bake bars. Adequate chilling time ensures the bars set properly, making them easy to slice cleanly. Don’t rush it!
• Soften Cream Cheese: Lumps in your cream cheese will lead to lumps in your filling. Ensure it’s truly softened to room temperature.
• Gentle Folding: When adding the whipped topping, fold it in gently to keep the filling light and airy.
• Room Temperature for Drizzle: If using the optional drizzle, melt the Biscoff cookie butter just until it’s pourable, but not hot, to avoid melting the top of your chilled bars.

Serving Suggestions and Pairings

No-Bake Biscoff Bars are a sweet treat that’s perfect for any occasion:

• Dessert: Serve a square on its own, perhaps with a side of fresh berries to cut through the richness.
• Coffee Break: A delightful companion to your afternoon coffee or tea.
• Potlucks & Parties: Easy to transport and a guaranteed crowd-pleaser that always gets rave reviews.
• Gifts: Cut into squares and arrange in decorative boxes for a thoughtful homemade gift.
• Summer Treat: The no-bake aspect makes them perfect for warm weather gatherings, much like my Easy Ice Cream Sandwich Cake.

Storage and Leftover Tips

No-Bake Biscoff Bars store beautifully, making them excellent for preparing ahead!

• Refrigerate: Store cooled No-Bake Biscoff Bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days.
• Freezing: These bars freeze exceptionally well. Once completely set and chilled, slice them, then place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Transfer to a freezer-safe container, layered with parchment paper between bars, for up to 2-3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving.
