100g unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling

400g cream cheese, softened
100g powdered sugar
200ml heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

Prepare the Cookie Crust

In a mixing bowl, combine crushed speculoos cookies and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.

Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to create the crust. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.

Make the Cheesecake Filling

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until well combined.

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture along with vanilla extract and ground cinnamon.

Assemble the Cheesecake

Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled cookie crust, spreading it evenly. Smooth the top with a spatula.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.

Serve

Once set, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Slice and serve chilled, optionally garnished with additional speculoos crumbs.

Enjoy your delicious no-bake cheesecake!

Tips for the Best Cheesecake

To ensure your cheesecake has the best texture, make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing. This will help achieve a smooth and creamy filling without lumps. Additionally, when whipping the heavy cream, be careful not to overwhip, as this can lead to a grainy texture in your cheesecake.

For an extra touch, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the filling, which can complement the speculoos flavor beautifully. Experimenting with spices can add a personal twist to the recipe, making it even more special for your guests.

Storage and Serving Suggestions

This No-Bake Speculoos Cheesecake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to five days, making it a convenient option for meal prep or leftovers. Just cover it with plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container to maintain its freshness. If you prefer, you can also freeze individual slices for a longer-lasting treat.

When serving, slice the cheesecake with a hot knife for clean edges, and consider garnishing each slice with a sprinkle of crushed speculoos cookies or a dollop of whipped cream. Such touches not only enhance the visual appeal but also add an extra layer of flavor that will delight your guests.
