Ingredients You’ll Need
- Biscoff cookies or spread: These provide the signature flavor. You can use whole cookies for layering and the spread for extra creaminess.
- Graham crackers: Create structure and balance the sweetness.
- Heavy cream or whipped topping: To create a light, fluffy filling.
- Cream cheese (optional): Adds a slight tang and richness to the cream mixture.
- Powdered sugar & vanilla: For sweetening and flavoring the cream layer.
- Crushed Biscoff or cookie crumbs: For a pretty garnish on top.
Instructions
- Prepare the cream filling: Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form. For an extra rich texture, fold in softened cream cheese.
- Layer the cookies and cream: In a square or rectangular dish, start with a layer of graham crackers, spread a generous layer of cream filling, then add Biscoff cookies or a drizzle of Biscoff spread. Repeat until the dish is full.
- Top and chill: Finish with a smooth layer of cream and sprinkle crushed Biscoff cookies on top for a pretty finish. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to allow the layers to soften and meld together.
- Slice and serve: Use a sharp knife for clean cuts, and serve chilled for best texture.
Presentation Tips
- Garnish with cookie crumbs, chocolate shavings, or caramel drizzle for added flair.
- Serve slices on white or pastel plates to make the cake’s golden layers pop.
- Add a dollop of whipped cream and a mini Biscoff cookie to each plate for an elegant touch.

Tips for Success

- Adjust sweetness: If you’re using sweetened whipped topping, reduce the powdered sugar slightly.
- Experiment with flavors: Add a layer of sliced bananas, a drizzle of Nutella, or even a hint of cinnamon for variety.
Why It Works So Well
The graham crackers absorb the cream, creating a cake-like texture without any baking. The Biscoff cookies provide a warm, caramelized flavor, while the cream layer keeps everything light and airy. Together, they form a dessert that’s rich but not overwhelming—perfect for every season.
Serving Suggestions
- With coffee or tea: The warm spices of Biscoff cookies pair beautifully with a latte or black tea.
- For parties: Make it in a trifle dish or individual cups for easy serving.
- Holiday twist: Add a sprinkle of nutmeg or cinnamon on top for a cozy winter flavor.
