Crust Ingredients
- 2 cups Biscoff Cookie Crumbs (substitute with graham crackers or digestive biscuits if desired)
- ½ cup Biscoff Cookie Butter (alternative: various cookie butters or nut butters can be used)
- ½ cup Unsalted Butter, melted (coconut oil can replace for a dairy-free option)
- ¼ cup Brown Sugar (granulated sugar can be used as a substitute)
- Pinch of Salt
Filling Ingredients
- 16 oz Cream Cheese, room temperature (Neufchâtel cream offers a lower-fat option)
- ¾ cup Granulated Sugar (coconut sugar as a suitable alternative)
- ½ cup Biscoff Cookie Butter
- 3 large Eggs (aquafaba can be used as a vegan alternative)
- 1 cup Sour Cream (Greek yogurt can be substituted)
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Topping Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy Cream, chilled
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar (no substitutes recommended)
- 6 whole Biscoff Cookies for garnish
- Additional Biscoff Cookie Crumbs for garnish
- Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine Biscoff cookie crumbs, melted butter, Biscoff cookie butter, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Use a fork to blend until moistened and crumbly. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely.
- Mix the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the room temperature cream cheese on medium speed until creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Gradually add granulated sugar and Biscoff cookie butter, mixing until fully combined. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed to prevent overmixing until the batter is smooth. Gently fold in sour cream, heavy cream, and vanilla extract, ensuring a velvety consistency.
- Prepare for Baking in a Water Bath: Wrap the bottom of the springform pan tightly with aluminum foil to prevent water from seeping in. Place the pan into a larger baking dish, then fill the dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the side of the springform pan. Carefully pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust.
- Bake the Cheesecake: Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (160°C). Bake the cheesecake in the water bath for 60–70 minutes, until the edges are set but the center remains slightly jiggly to ensure a creamy texture.
- Cool the Cheesecake: Once baked, turn off the oven but leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour. This gradual cooling prevents cracks. Afterwards, remove the cheesecake and allow it to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes before transferring to the refrigerator. Chill for at least 8 hours or overnight for best results.
- Prepare the Whipped Cream Topping: When ready to serve, whip the chilled heavy cream gradually adding powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Decorate and Serve: Carefully spread or pipe the whipped cream over the chilled cheesecake. Sprinkle with additional Biscoff cookie crumbs and garnish with whole Biscoff cookies for an appealing finish.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing to avoid lumps.
- Wrapping the pan in foil and baking in a water bath helps achieve a smooth, crack-free cheesecake.
- Do not overbake; the cheesecake should still be slightly jiggly in the center when done.
- Chilling overnight improves texture and flavor development.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute cream cheese with dairy-free alternatives, use coconut oil instead of butter, and full-fat coconut milk in place of heavy cream.
