Ingredients
Scale
Crust Ingredients
- 2 cups Biscoff Cookie Crumbs (or graham crackers/digestive biscuits)
- 1/2 cup Biscoff Cookie Butter
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, melted (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
- 1/4 cup Brown Sugar (or granulated sugar)
- Pinch of salt
Filling Ingredients
- 16 oz Cream Cheese, room temperature (Neufchâtel cream for lower-fat option)
- 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar (or coconut sugar)
- 1/2 cup Biscoff Cookie Butter
- 3 large Eggs (or aquafaba for vegan alternative)
- 1 cup Sour Cream (or Greek yogurt)
- 1 cup Heavy Cream (or full-fat coconut milk)
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Topping Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy Cream, chilled
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar
- 6 whole Biscoff Cookies (for garnish)
- Additional Biscoff Cookie Crumbs (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the Biscoff cookie crumbs, melted unsalted butter, Biscoff cookie butter, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Mix with a fork until the mixture is moist and crumbly. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool completely.
- Make the cheesecake filling: In a large bowl, beat the room temperature cream cheese on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until smooth and creamy. Gradually add granulated sugar and the 1/2 cup of Biscoff cookie butter, mixing until fully incorporated. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition to avoid overmixing. Gently fold in the sour cream, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until the mixture is velvety and uniform.
- Water bath setup: Wrap the bottom of the springform pan tightly with aluminum foil to prevent water leakage. Place the wrapped pan in a larger baking dish or roasting pan. Pour hot water into the larger dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the springform pan. This will provide a gentle, even baking environment.
- Bake the cheesecake: Pour the prepared cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Bake in the oven preheated to 325°F (160°C) for 60-70 minutes. The cheesecake edges should be set while the center remains slightly jiggly when gently nudged.
- Cool the cheesecake gradually: After baking, turn off the oven but leave the cheesecake inside with the oven door slightly ajar for 1 hour. This slow cooling helps prevent cracks on the surface. Then remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes before refrigerating.
- Chill the cheesecake: Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 8 hours or overnight to allow it to fully set and develop flavor.
- Prepare the topping: Before serving, whip the chilled heavy cream in a bowl, gradually adding powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread or pipe the whipped cream on top of the chilled cheesecake.
- Garnish and serve: Decorate the cheesecake with whole Biscoff cookies and sprinkle additional Biscoff cookie crumbs on top for a beautiful and flavorful finish. Slice and serve chilled.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps in the batter.
- Wrapping the springform pan in foil and using a water bath is key to preventing cracks and achieving a smooth texture.
- For a vegan version, substitute eggs with aquafaba, cream cheese with plant-based cream cheese, and use coconut milk instead of heavy cream.
- Do not overbake; the center should jiggle slightly as it will continue to set while cooling.
- Chilling the cheesecake overnight improves texture and flavor.
- Optional: use a piping bag to decorate the top with whipped cream for an elegant presentation.
