Pumpkin Biscoff Cheesecake Ingredients
Ingredient Notes
- Biscoff Cookies - I find Biscoff cookies at Target, Vons and World Market here in the U.S. If you are unable to find Biscoff cookies, you can use Trader Joe's speculoos cookies.
- Unsalted Butter - Melted butter not only adds flavor, but also helps bind the cookie crumbs.
- Cream Cheese - Make sure to use cream cheese block, not cream cheese spread.
- Creamy Cookie Butter - You can find it next to the peanut butter and Nutella.
- Pumpkin Purée - I like Libby's pumpkin purée as I find it to be thicker than other brands.
- Pumpkin Pie Spice - The warm spices work so well with the Biscoff.
- Confectioners Sugar - Will help thicken the cheesecake.
- Heavy Cream - Whipped cream will give the cheesecake structure and make it ulta creamy.

Pumpkin Biscoff Cheesecake Instructions
Here are step-by-step photos and instructions on how to make these Biscoff Pumpkin Cheesecake Jars! Please find the detailed instructions in the recipe card at the end of this post.
Step 1. Make the Biscoff Crumbs - Combine crushed biscoff cookie crumbs with melted butter.
Step 2. Evenly divided cookie crumbs in jars and lightly press into the bottom of the jars. Place in the fridge to set up. Depending on the size of your jars or ramekins, you will end up with about 6 portions or so.
Hint: Use a small blunt object to lightly pack the crumbs, such as the handle of a wooden spoon. I used my ice cream scoop.
Step 3. Make your Pumpkin Biscoff Cheesecake Filling - In a large bowl, whisk room temperature cream cheese until smooth with a hand-held mixer.
Step 4. Add cookie butter, pumpkin purée, pumpkin pie spice, sifted confectioners sugar and vanilla and whisk until smooth and set aside.
Step 5. In a medium sized bowl, whisk cold heavy cream until stiff peaks. You can use the same beaters from the cheesecake mixture.
Step 6. Transfer whipped cream into the pumpkin biscoff cheesecake mixture and with a rubber spatula, gently fold until combined.
Step 7. Remove jars from the fridge and evenly divide cheesecake mixture in each jar. Smooth the top as much as you can.
Step 8. Place cookie butter in the microwave for 10 to 15 seconds. We just want to warm it enough to pour easily. Pour a layer of cookie butter in each jar. Add as much as you'd like, I poured about 1 tablespoon in each jar.
Step 9. Place in the fridge and allow to set for at least 2 hours before serving. Garnish with whipped cream and extra cookie crumbs if desired. Enjoy!
Hint: If you would like to make your own whipped cream, whisk together ½ cup of heavy cream and 2 tablespoons of confectioner's sugar until stiff peaks. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a decorative tip or spoon over the top right before serving!
Substitutions
- For the Biscoff Cookies - Biscoff cookies are essentially speculoos cookies, so you can sub for any brand. I love the speculoos cookies from Trader Joe's. You can also use gingersnap cookies, graham crackers or digestive biscuits.
- For the Biscoff Cookie Butter - You can use any brand. Again, trader Joe's has a delicious cookie butter.
- For the Pumpkin Puree - You can use homemade pumpkin puree if you'd like.
- For the Pumpkin Pie Spice - Feel free to use your own pumpkin pie spice.
Equipment
- Jars or ramekins
- Electric mixer
Storage
- Cover tightly and keep chilled for up to 4 days.
Top Tips!
Use cream cheese blocks, not cream cheese spread. Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature as well. This will ensure a smooth and lump free filling.
Before whipping the cream, freeze the bowl and beaters for 10 minutes. Keeping everything cold helps the fat in the cream to stabilize. Additionally, it’s important to whip your heavy cream to stiff peaks as it adds structure to this no-bake cheesecake.
Make sure to use pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. Pumpkin pie filling contains spices and sugar and is not needed for this recipe.
FAQ
Yes! You can make this 3 days ahead. I would suggest making the whipped cream right before serving.

I saw these on pinterest and knew I had to make it! I couldn’t find biscoff, so I used trader joes speculoo cookies and cookie butter from your suggestion and it turned out really good!! I will be making again for thanksgiving!

Vince says
My partner and I absolutely L*O*V*E*D these! I'm not great with presentation, so having a simple but stylish solution like the little jars really helped! Taste-wise, these were rich and decadent, but not in a way that felt TOO sweet (I prefer subtle flavor to just "sugary").
100% recommend trying these... I wanted to save a few to show my friends but they didn't last long, ha!
