Biscoff Cheesecake Ingredients For the Cookie Crust • Biscoff Cookies – Create the crust and enhance the cheesecake’s flavor. Substitution: Use speculoos cookies if Biscoff is unavailable. • Unsalted Butter – Binds the cookie crumbs together for the crust. Ensure it’s melted for easy mixing. For the Cheesecake Filling • Cream Cheese – Provides the base for the cheesecake filling, contributing to its rich and creamy texture. Use full-fat cream cheese for optimal creaminess. • Granulated Sugar – Adds sweetness to the cheesecake. Can be reduced if a less sweet dessert is desired. • Greek Yogurt – Adds creaminess and tang to the filling, making it lighter. Substitution: Sour cream can be used in equivalent quantity. • Vanilla Extract – Enhances the flavor profile. Use pure vanilla for the best taste. • Ground Cinnamon – Introduces warmth and spice to the cheesecake. Can be omitted if desired. • Large Eggs – Contribute structure and richness to the cheesecake batter. Ensure they are at room temperature for mixing. For the Topping • Biscoff Spread – Used as a topping, this adds an indulgent, creamy finish. Warm before pouring to achieve a smooth consistency. • Additional Biscoff Cookies – For garnish, providing a crunch and visual appeal. Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Biscoff Cheesecake Step 1: Prepare the Crust Begin by lining a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper for easy release. In a mixing bowl, crush the Biscoff cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by sealing them in a zip-top bag and smashing them with a rolling pin. Combine the crumbs with melted unsalted butter until they resemble wet sand. Firmly press this mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Step 2: Preheat the Oven While the crust chills, preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). This temperature is ideal for baking the Biscoff cheesecake, ensuring it cooks evenly. The warm air will help your cheesecake rise while maintaining a creamy texture. Prepare a roasting pan filled with water to create a water bath that will help keep the cheesecake moist during baking, placing it on the lowest rack of the oven. Step 3: Mix the Cheesecake Filling In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with granulated sugar until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Add Greek yogurt, pure vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon, mixing until fully combined. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is well blended before adding the next. The mixture should be silky and free of lumps, reflecting the rich, creamy filling of your Biscoff cheesecake. Step 4: Bake the Cheesecake Carefully pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust in the springform pan. Place the pan on the middle rack of the preheated oven, ensuring it sits above the water bath. Bake for 65-70 minutes or until the edges are set but the center remains slightly jiggly. This contrast will yield that perfect creamy consistency characteristic of a Biscoff cheesecake. Step 5: Cool the Cheesecake Once baked, turn off the oven and crack the oven door slightly, allowing the cheesecake to cool gradually for about 1 hour. This step helps to prevent cracks from forming as it cools. After it’s cooled to room temperature, transfer the cheesecake to the refrigerator. Chill for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully. Step 6: Top & Serve When ready to serve, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan, using an offset spatula to prevent any cracks. Warm the Biscoff spread in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds to achieve a smooth consistency, then pour it generously over the top of the cheesecake. Finally, sprinkle crushed Biscoff cookies over the top for an added crunch. Slice, serve chilled, and enjoy the delightful richness of your homemade Biscoff cheesecake!

Freezer: For longer storage, freeze slices wrapped tightly in plastic wrap, then in aluminum foil for up to 3 months. Thaw them in the fridge overnight before serving. Reheating: Gently bring cheesecake to room temperature before serving to restore its creamy texture. Avoid microwaving, as it may alter the cheesecake’s consistency.
