Ingredients

• 2 cups Biscoff cookie crumbs (about 24-26 cookies, crushed or one 8.8 oz package)
• 5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (adds richness and binds the crust together)
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar (optional, for a touch of sweetness in the crust)
• 1 pinch salt (elevates the flavors beautifully)
• 16 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature (offers a rich, creamy texture)
• 1 cup Biscoff cookie butter spread (the star ingredient)
• 3/4 cup powdered sugar (sweetens the filling without adding grittiness)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract (enhances the overall flavor profile)
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional, adds warmth and depth)
• 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold (creates a light and fluffy filling)
• 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (for topping)
• 1/4 cup Biscoff spread (for drizzling)
• Extra Biscoff cookies (to taste, for decorating)

Instructions

8. Step 8: Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust and smooth the top evenly.
9. Step 9: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow it to set properly.
10. Step 10: In a medium bowl, whisk together the remaining heavy cream and Biscoff spread until smooth and fluffy.
11. Step 11: Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan.
12. Step 12: Drizzle the topping over the cheesecake and decorate with extra Biscoff cookies before slicing and serving.

Tips & Variations

• For an extra crunch, lightly toast the Biscoff cookie crumbs before mixing with butter.
• Swap out cinnamon for a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom for a different warm spice note.
• If you prefer a lighter crust, reduce the butter by 1 tablespoon.
• Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to achieve a silky smooth filling with less effort.
• Garnish with whipped cream or caramel sauce to complement the Biscoff flavors.

Storage

Store the cheesecake covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best texture, bring it to room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving. Leftovers can be frozen for up to 1 month; thaw overnight in the fridge and gently re-whip the topping if needed.

FAQs

Can I make this cheesecake without a springform pan?

While a springform pan is ideal for easy removal, you can use a regular cake pan lined with parchment paper for easier lifting. Just be gentle when removing the cheesecake to avoid cracking.

Is it possible to use another cookie instead of Biscoff?

Yes, you can substitute with graham crackers, digestive biscuits, or any spiced cookie crumbs, but the unique Biscoff flavor is what makes this cheesecake special.
