Instead of letting the cookies soften overnight, I actually love the different textures here. You get the soft warm cinnamon apples, cold creamy yogurt, crunchy Biscoff cookies, and that slightly spiced caramel flavor in almost every bite.
It is made for one serving, requires no baking, and you can add the optional creamy Biscoff layer when you want a little extra Lotus flavor.

Ingredients You’ll Need
Apple
You only need a small amount of apple for this recipe. Cut it into small pieces and cook it with a little water and cinnamon until soft.
This creates a simple cinnamon apple compote without needing much effort.
Low Fat Greek Yogurt
Greek yogurt makes the creamy base of this Biscoff Greek yogurt cheesecake.
I like using a thick low fat Greek yogurt here because it keeps the layers nice and creamy without making the whole dessert too runny.
Biscoff Cookies
Biscoff cookies are where that classic caramelized and slightly spiced flavor comes from.
I like crumbling them into the glass so you still get some crunch between the creamy layers.
Biscoff Spread
The Biscoff spread is optional, but it makes the second yogurt layer extra creamy and gives it a stronger Lotus Biscoff flavor.
You only need about one teaspoon.
Cinnamon
Cinnamon works especially well with both the apples and Biscoff flavor. Add a little while cooking the apples and another small sprinkle on top.
How to Make Biscoff Greek Yogurt Cheesecake
Start with the cinnamon apples.
Cut the apple into small pieces and add it to a small pan with a splash of water and cinnamon. Cook over medium heat until the apple becomes soft and slightly saucy. Add another small splash of water if needed.
Add 2 tablespoons of cinnamon apples to the bottom of your serving glass.
Spoon 2 tablespoons of low fat Greek yogurt on top and crumble 1 Biscoff cookie over the yogurt.
For the optional creamy Biscoff layer, combine 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon cinnamon apples, 1 teaspoon Biscoff spread, and 1 crumbled Biscoff cookie. Stir everything together and spoon the mixture into the glass.
Finish with another Biscoff cookie, a little cinnamon, and a few pieces of the cooked apples.
Tips for the Best Biscoff Yogurt Dessert
Cut the apple into small pieces. This helps it soften quickly and makes the dessert easier to eat.
Do not add too much water. Start with only a small splash and add more if needed while the apple cooks.
Use thick Greek yogurt. A thicker yogurt works best for creating clean and creamy layers.
Serve it right away for more crunch. The longer the Biscoff cookies sit in the yogurt, the softer they become.

Substitutions and Variations
One of the easiest ways to change this dessert is to adjust the Biscoff layer.
You can leave out the Biscoff spread completely if you want to keep the recipe simpler. The cookies already add plenty of Lotus Biscoff flavor.
For a sweeter version, you can add a small drizzle of maple syrup or honey to the Greek yogurt.
You can also add more cinnamon apples if you prefer a stronger apple flavor.
If you like a softer, more cheesecake like texture, prepare the dessert a little earlier and refrigerate it before serving. The Biscoff cookies will slowly absorb moisture from the yogurt and become softer.
Storage
This Biscoff Greek yogurt cheesecake tastes best freshly assembled if you want the cookies to stay crunchy.
You can prepare the cinnamon apples ahead of time and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Then simply assemble the dessert when you are ready to eat it.
If you store the finished dessert in the refrigerator, keep in mind that the Biscoff cookies will become softer over time.
Final Thoughts
This Biscoff Greek yogurt cheesecake is such an easy dessert when you want something creamy, crunchy, and a little different from a classic yogurt bowl.
I especially love the combination of soft cinnamon apples with cold Greek yogurt and crunchy Biscoff cookies. And if you want a little more Biscoff flavor, the optional creamy layer makes it even better.
Hope you enjoy it.
