Easy No-Bake Biscoff Dessert

There’s something magical about desserts that feel indulgent but don’t require you to touch the oven. I still remember the first time I made a no-bake treat—it was late at night, my fridge was empty, and I only had a few pantry staples on hand. That night sparked a love for quick and easy desserts, and this easy no-bake Biscoff dessert quickly became a favorite.

With its layers of creamy filling, spiced cookie crumbles, and rich Biscoff spread, this is the perfect recipe for beginner cooks. It’s incredibly simple, no special tools needed, and takes just minutes to assemble. Not only is it a time-saver, but it’s also a delicious choice for those looking for quick and healthy meals—yes, even dessert can be reasonably balanced when made with fresh dairy and fruit!

Why This Recipe is Special

This dessert stands out because it delivers that bakery-style presentation and taste with minimal effort. The balance of textures—silky cream, crunchy cookie, and juicy fruit—is so satisfying, yet each component is forgiving and easy to work with. Whether you’re making dessert for guests or just treating yourself midweek, this recipe has you covered.

You don’t need fancy mixers, timers, or even baking pans. And the best part? It’s flexible. You can build it in jars, cups, or even a simple baking dish.

Ingredients and Preparation

Mascarpone: Adds a luxurious, creamy texture with a slightly tangy taste that balances the sweetness. You can swap this with cream cheese if that’s what you have on hand.

Whipping Cream Stabilizer: Helps the cream mixture hold its shape for longer. If you can’t find it, just ensure your whipped cream is well-chilled and don’t overbeat it.

Vanilla Sugar: Infuses a subtle vanilla aroma. You can replace it with vanilla extract for a similar effect.

Granulated Sugar: Enhances sweetness. Feel free to reduce the amount or use a sugar alternative for a lighter version.

Heavy Cream: Adds volume and richness. Must be cold for proper whipping. You can use plant-based alternatives like coconut cream for a dairy-free version.

Biscoff Spread: The star ingredient, offering a rich caramelized flavor. Melt it slightly for smoother layering.

Biscoff Cookies: Adds crunch and that distinctive spiced cookie profile. Graham crackers or gingersnaps can work in a pinch.

Ladyfingers: Used for the base and walls of the dessert. They soak up moisture well, becoming soft without turning to mush. You can substitute with sponge cake or digestive biscuits.

Strawberries: Provide a juicy, fresh contrast to the creamy and spiced layers. Any berry or even sliced banana works too.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: In a deep mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone, whipping cream stabilizer, vanilla sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix for about a minute until smooth. Slowly pour in the cold heavy cream and continue to mix until stiff peaks form. This will be your dessert’s creamy foundation.

Step 2: Cut ladyfingers into smaller pieces to line the base of your serving container. If you’re using a ring mold, line the sides upright with longer pieces and fill the bottom with trimmed bits. This forms the soft base that supports your creamy layers.

Step 3: Add a generous layer of the whipped cream mixture over the ladyfingers. Use a spoon or piping bag for even coverage. Smooth it out gently with the back of the spoon.

Step 4: Spoon over a layer of melted Biscoff spread. It should be fluid but not hot. You can microwave it for about 15 seconds to get the right consistency. Then, sprinkle some crushed Biscoff cookies on top for added crunch.

Step 5: Repeat with another layer of cream, then a final drizzle of melted Biscoff spread. Try not to overfill the container to avoid spilling when refrigerating.

Step 6: Chill the assembled dessert in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours—overnight is ideal. This gives time for the layers to set and flavors to mingle beautifully.

Step 7: Just before serving, top with more Biscoff cookie crumbles and garnish with halved strawberries for a bright, fresh finish.

Beginner Tips and Notes

If your cream mixture isn’t firming up, check that your heavy cream is cold and not overwhipped. A chilled metal bowl can help stabilize the process.

When dipping ladyfingers, don’t soak them. A quick splash in coffee, milk, or diluted Biscoff spread adds flavor without making them soggy.

You can assemble this dessert in individual cups for a mess-free presentation. Mason jars or even wine glasses add charm and convenience.

Want a lighter version? Use Greek yogurt instead of mascarpone and reduce the Biscoff spread slightly—it’ll still taste indulgent.

No piping bag? Just use a ziplock bag with the corner snipped off.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this easy sheet pan dessert (even if it’s not technically on a sheet pan, it has that layered charm) with fresh berries or a dollop of whipped cream on the side.

Pair with a hot espresso or a cinnamon tea to enhance the spiced cookie notes.

Store leftovers in the fridge, tightly covered. They’ll keep fresh for up to 3 days—if they last that long!

This dessert also freezes well; just wrap tightly and thaw in the fridge before serving.
