Lotus Biscoff Cheesecake Recipe
I like LOTS of crumb base for a no-bake cheesecake and that is why we prefer a Lotus Biscoff base. You can use Hobnobs or Digestives that are a little more oat tasting but work great, too. I find that the ginger, cinnamon and caramel taste of Lotus Biscoff biscuits cuts through the rich, creamy cheesecake and delivers the perfect balance of sweet, sharp and creamy.
One Recipe, All Seasons
Our recipe is no-bake which means it is ready in no time AND you can scale the recipe from dinner for 2 to a family reunion. Top our Lotus Biscoff Cheesecake with a slice of lemon, some fresh raspberries, blueberry compote, raspberry compote or cherry pie filling depending on the season. All are delicious.
American Cheesecake Recipe
This recipe is a favourite of my Mum. She always uses graham crackers for the base and always, always Philly Cream Cheese.
On this occasion, I used the light version. I find that the lighter the cream cheese, the more lemon juice is required. As we recommend with all of our recipes, try it out two or three times and make it your own. Scale-up / down, change the fat content in the cheesecake and use different toppings until you’ve perfected it for your tastes.
Sunshine BBQ
We love this dessert as the finishing touch on our Sunshine BBQ collection. You can make this cheesecake ahead of time and just pull it from the fridge and relax in the summer sunshine.
