Ingredients
Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups Biscoff cookies (about 12-15 cookies), crushed into fine crumbs
- 3 tablespoons melted coconut oil or vegan butter
Filling:
- 1 1/2 cups raw cashews (soaked in hot water for 1 hour, then drained)
- 1/2 cup full-fat coconut cream (the thick part from a can of chilled coconut milk)
- 1/3 cup maple syrup or agave nectar
- 1/4 cup Biscoff spread (or cookie butter)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
How to Make Vegan No-Bake Biscoff Cheesecake Bites
1. Prepare the Crust
In a bowl, mix the crushed Biscoff cookies with melted coconut oil until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a lined 8×8 inch pan or into silicone mini muffin molds for bite-sized portions.
2. Make the Filling
Add soaked cashews, coconut cream, maple syrup, Biscoff spread, lemon juice, vanilla, and salt to a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. This may take a few minutes, so be patient!
3. Assemble the Bites
Pour or spoon the filling over the crust layer in the pan or fill each mini mold. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
4. Chill and Set
Place the pan or molds in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or until firm. For quicker setting, you can freeze them for 1-2 hours.
5. Serve and Enjoy
Once set, cut into small squares if using a pan, or pop the bites out of the molds. Serve chilled and enjoy the creamy, dreamy cheesecake flavor!
Serving Suggestions
- With Fresh Fruit: Serve with berries or sliced mango for a fresh contrast.
- Drizzle with Chocolate: Melt some vegan chocolate and drizzle on top for extra indulgence.
- Add Nuts: Sprinkle chopped toasted almonds or pecans for crunch.
- Gift Idea: Package in pretty boxes or jars for a thoughtful homemade gift.
Tips for Customization
- Nut-Free Option: Substitute cashews with silken tofu or coconut yogurt, but the texture will be slightly different.
- Flavor Variations: Add a teaspoon of cinnamon or cardamom for a warm spice twist.
- Sweetness Level: Adjust maple syrup to your preferred sweetness.
- Biscoff-Free: Use other cookie crumbs like graham crackers or digestive biscuits and swap Biscoff spread for peanut or almond butter.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these bites ahead of time?
Yes! They keep well in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Do I have to soak the cashews?
Soaking softens the cashews for a smooth filling. If you’re short on time, soak them in very hot water for 30 minutes.
Can I use regular cream instead of coconut cream?
For a vegan version, coconut cream is best. Regular cream will change the texture and is not vegan.
What if I don’t have a blender?
A high-speed blender works best. A food processor can work but may take longer to get smooth.
How do I store leftovers?
Keep them in an airtight container in the fridge. If frozen, thaw in the fridge before serving.
