Ingredients You’ll Need

The Crust:

• 250 grams Biscoff cookies (1 package)
• 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted (75 grams)

Cheesecake Batter:

• 907 grams cream cheese, softened (4 x 8 oz packages)
• 1 cup brown sugar (200 grams)
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50 grams)
• 1/2 cup sour cream (120 grams)
• 1 cup Biscoff cookie butter (240 grams)
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 4 large eggs, room temp

For Decorating:

• 1/2 cup Biscoff spread
• 1/4 cup Biscoff cookies, crumbled

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. The Crust

1. Preheat your oven to 325ºF.
2. Crush the Biscoff cookies in a food processor until they turn into fine crumbs.
3. Combine the crumbs with melted butter and mix until well blended.
4. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8” or 9” cheesecake pan (if using an 8” pan, ensure it’s deep).
5. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove and let it cool completely.

2. The Cheesecake Batter

1. Using a mixer, beat the cream cheese on medium speed for 3 minutes until smooth.
2. Add the brown and granulated sugars, beating for another 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat for 30 more seconds.
3. Add the sour cream and Biscoff cookie butter, mixing until combined. Scrape the bowl thoroughly.
4. Mix in the vanilla and salt. Scrape the bowl again to ensure there are no lumps.
5. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing just until incorporated to avoid overmixing (this helps prevent cracking).

3. Bake the Cheesecake

1. Pour the batter over the baked crust. If your pan has a tendency to stick, grease the sides with oil beforehand.
2. Wrap the bottom of the pan in several layers of foil to prevent water from seeping in.
3. Place the pan in a larger roasting pan and pour hot water into the roasting pan to create a water bath. This step is crucial to achieving a crack-free cheesecake.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes. The edges should look set, but the center should jiggle slightly.
5. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 1 hour.
6. Transfer the cheesecake to the fridge and chill for at least 6 hours (overnight is even better!).

4. Decorate Like a Pro

1. Melt the Biscoff spread in the microwave for a few seconds until it’s runny. Drizzle it over the chilled cheesecake and smooth it out with a spatula.
2. Sprinkle crushed Biscoff cookies around the edges for the perfect finishing touch.

Pro Tips for Cheesecake Success

• Avoid Cracks: Always mix the eggs gently and bake the cheesecake in a water bath.
• Plan Ahead: Cheesecakes need time to chill. Make this a day in advance to let the flavors develop fully.
• Get Creative: Add extra Biscoff crumbs, whipped cream, or even a drizzle of chocolate for added flair.

This Biscoff Cheesecake is more than a dessert—it’s an experience. The buttery crust, silky filling, and rich cookie butter topping combine to create a show-stopping treat that’s sure to impress. So, grab your apron and get baking—your taste buds will thank you.
