Nutella Biscoff Icebox Cake
So this past weekend, I did something that was a TON of fun! Can you guess? Not baking (although I did that too).
Laundry! Ha!
I mean sure, that’s like an every weekend kind of thing. But this weekend I conquered it like a boss. I did allllll the laundry. And I totally folded it all right away.
Are you laughing at me yet?
Ya’ll laundry is not the most fun thing. And the hubs turns everything inside out as he removes it from himself, so it isn’t just washing and folding. It’s turning every right side out and then folding. And there are so many undershirts and socks. I can’t even. And then it just starts all over again.
So like the rockstar that I am, I washed everything, folded it and put it all away. Sheets, towels and all.
Then yesterday morning as we were getting dressed for church, the hubs thanked me (he’s good at that) and I told him that no laundry was allowed in laundry baskets for at least 24 hours.
Of course, I’d already broken that 24 hour rule – it was more to be funny. Sometimes I think I’m funny. The hubs thought I was. Thank goodness for husbands that will laugh at our jokes. 🙂
I Love Dessert Recipes That Use Nutella and Biscoff
For those that don’t think I’m funny, there’s dessert. And it’s an easy, no bake dessert too. I bet that in the time it’d take to wash and fold laundry, you could make and devour this icebox cake. I think it’s worth a try. 😉
I don’t know about you, but I have to make myself forget that Nutella and Biscoff are in the pantry. If I pull them out and open them and get even the slightest whiff of their delicious scent, I have to pull out a spoon and at least get a little taste. They are SO good!
How Is This Icebox Cake Made?
So naturally if you love them as I do, you’ll love the flavors of this icebox cake. The tasty spreads are added to the filling layers made mostly with cream cheese and whipped cream for a texture that’s light and mousse-like.
Between the filling layers are layers of chocolate wafer cookies and chocolate ganache. Finishing off the cake is some chocolate whipped cream and Biscoff cookies and hazelnut candies.
This makes for a super easy and super fun cake! It’ll definitely cure your sweet tooth – for a little bit anyways – and it’ll give you something to look forward to when the laundry is done. 😉

Ingredients
MOUSE LAYERS
- 12 oz (339g) cream cheese, room temperature
- 3/4 cup (155g) sugar
- 2 tbsp (30ml) milk
- 2 1/2 cups (600ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups (144g) powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup (154g) Nutella
- 1/4 cup (77g) Biscoff spread
COOKIE AND GANACHE LAYERS
- 6 oz (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy whipping cream
- 9 oz package chocolate wafer cookies
CHOCOLATE WHIPPED CREAM
- 3/4 cup (180ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
- 3 tbsp (22g) powdered sugar
- 3 tbsp (21g) natural unsweetened cocoa powder
- Chocolate sauce
- Biscoff cookies, optional
- Ferrero Rocher, optional
Instructions
1. Prepare a 9-inch springform pan by lining the sides with parchment paper that sticks about an inch above the sides of the pan.
2. To make the mousse, mix the cream cheese and sugar for together in a large mixer bowl until smooth.
3. Add the milk and mix until smooth. Set cream cheese mixture aside and make whipped cream.
4. Add the heavy whipping cream, vanilla extract and powdered sugar to a large mixer bowl and whip on high speed until stiff peaks form.
5. Carefully fold 1/3 of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until combined. Add the remaining whipped cream and fold together until well combined.
6. Divide the mousse into two bowls. You’ll want twice the amount in one bowl as the other. You should have about 2 1/3 cups in one bowl and the rest in another.
7. Add the Nutella to the bowl with the larger amount of mousse and gently fold to combine. Set aside.
8. Add the Biscoff to the smaller amount and fold to combine. Set aside.
9. Put the chocolate chips for the ganache in a medium-sized heat proof bowl. Heat the heavy whipping cream for the ganache until it comes to a boil, then pour over the chocolate chips. Allow to sit for about 2-3 minutes, then whisk until smooth. Set aside to cool a bit and thicken.
10. Place a single layer of chocolate wafer cookies into the bottom of the prepared pan.
11. Top the cookies with half of the Nutella mousse and spread into an even layer.
12. Add another layer of chocolate wafer cookies on top of the Nutella mixture.
13. Top the cookies with half of the ganache mixture and spread into an even layer.
14. Spread the Biscoff mousse into an even layer on top of the chocolate ganache.
15. Add another layer of chocolate wafer cookies on top of the Biscoff mousse, then add the remaining ganache and spread into an even layer.
16. Top the ganache with the remaining Nutella mousse and spread into an even layer.
17. Refrigerate cake until firm, 4-5 hours. Once firm, remove icebox cake from pan.
18. To make the chocolate whipped cream for topping, add heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar and cocoa to a large mixer bowl and whip on high speed until stiff peaks form
19. Pipe the whipped cream around the top edge of the cake, then drizzle with chocolate sauce. Finish off cake with Biscoff cookies and Ferrero ocher, if desired.
20. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Well I did it!!
I made the cake!!
The kids and their grandmother will try it tomorrow! Where can I share pictures?
Awesome! I hope they enjoyed it! Unfortunately there isn’t a way to share photos in the comments, but definitely tag me if you share it on Instagram.
Chocolate wafer cookies are supposedly no longer available. (Your link to Amazon no longer works for chocolate wafer cookies. )
Can I make this using Biscoff cookies instead of the chocolate cookies and eliminate the Biscoff spread?
I haven’t heard about the wafers. If you can’t find them, biscoff cookies are fine, you just may want to dip them in milk before you add them. They are thicker cookies and won’t soften as easily. You can eliminate the biscoff layer if you like.
Sorry another question! A rather silly one but can Cool Whip be used in place of the heavy cream for convenience sake? If yes, how much would you recommend?
Can this cake be frozen? I am trying to make this and send to my son’s grandmother’s house so she can celebrate his birthday with him. Thanks!
I’m not sure what your plan is for transporting it, but yes it can be frozen.
Oh the idea is that I will make it on Saturday evening and put it in the fridge. Once it gets to Nana’s house on Sunday (via a cooler with ice packs), she will freeze it until Thursday and then thaw it overnight in the fridge for the birthday boy for Friday
Hi Lindsay, I want to try the recipe. I have a quick question, you said we need to place a layer of chocolate waffers at the bottom right, to we need to powder them? Because if we place the waffers directly there will be gap between them right? Since they are circular in shape
You don’t need to crush them. There will be a little space, but that’s fine.
“Mouse” layers? Other than the typo, tis recipe sounds spectacular.
Hi just curious is there another cookie I can use
Other than the famous chocolate wafer?
You could try Oreos. I’ve used those before and they’re great. You’ll want to dip them in milk before adding them though.
This cake was beautiful and delicious! I made it for Easter dinner and it was a big hit! I will be making it again this week for our monthly office lunch!
Please explain step 10. Do we just put layer of biscoff cookies or powdered it. Thanks
The cookies referred to in step 10 are the chocolate wafer cookies listed under “Cookie and Ganache Layers” in the ingredients. I added a bit to the recipe to make that more clear. Thanks!
What type of chocolate wafer cookies do you use?
They are linked within the recipe card.
Huge success with easy to follow directions!!! Nutella & Ferrero Rocher lovers will be in heaven!! I added a thin layer of ganache on top because I couldn’t spread the last layer of Nutella Mousse smooth enough to look presentable. I let it drizzle down the sides so I did not need the chocolate sauce. This is definitely a keeper!!!
Thanks for sharing Lindsay ????
Wonderful! That ganache topping sounds delish! Glad to hear you enjoyed it! 🙂
Hi Lindsay, I’d love to try this cake over the weekend. Not sure if I will be able to find “Biscoff” cookies (Canada) can I substitute for another type of cookie?
Thanks!
You could just add more Nutella, or really any other cookie you’d enjoy with Nutella. Oreos? Dulce De Leche would probably work in place of the biscotti too.
Love this recipe! Going to make it this Friday. I was wondering if you had any tips on making your whipped cream get its stiff peaks! Mine never get fluffly like it supposed to no matter now much i whisk it with my mixer!!
Hi Lindsay! I was wondering if there’s anything I can substitute for the Biscoff in the Nutella Biscoff icebox cake. I’m not sure what kind of cookie that is and if I can buy them at my local grocery store. Thanks!
You could use some additional Nutella, or another spread that you like, such as peanut butter.
As always, this looks wonderful and I’m sure if I stepped on the scale, I have gained 10 lbs. just looking at it! I do have one question – would it make any difference if the Biscoff was the crunchy instead of the smooth? Just reading thru the directions it doesn’t seem as though it would, but you know about the mouth feel-I keep thinking with the cookies layered in the dessert, it would be ok-what do you think?
I would think it’d be fine. The crunch would probably be good.
