Today's BFY (bad for you) summer treat is:

 

This recipe doesn't require you to turn either the stove top or oven on.

 

NO-BAKE EGG-FREE BISCOFF SWIRL CHEESECAKE

1 ½ cups Biscoff cookie crumbs (or graham cracker crumbs)

4 T. butter, melted

½ cup heavy whipping cream

2 tsp. powdered sugar

½ cup sugar

16 oz. cream cheese, softened

1 tsp. vanilla

¼ cup Biscoff spread (a/k/a cookie butter)

Mix together the cookie crumbs and butter.  Press into the bottom of a 9" square pan.  Refrigerate while you prepare the batter.

In a medium bowl, beat the cream until it thickens.  Slowly add the powdered sugar and beat until stiff peaks form (peaks won't fall off the beater when you lift it).  Set aside.

In a large bowl, beat together the sugar, cream cheese, and vanilla.  Fold in the whipped cream.  Spread evenly into the prepared pan.

In a small microwaveable bowl, microwave the Biscoff spread until slightly softened (10-15 seconds) so that it is softer but not liquid.  Drop by spoonfuls on top of the cheesecake batter, then swirl with a knife.  Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving (if you can wait that long.)
