Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 2 cups Biscoff Cookie Crumbs (substitute with graham crackers or digestive biscuits if desired)
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, melted (coconut oil can replace for a dairy-free option)
  • 1/2 cup Biscoff Cookie Butter
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar (granulated sugar can be used as a substitute)
  • Pinch of salt

Cheesecake Filling

  • 16 oz Cream Cheese, room temperature (Neufchâtel cream offers a lower-fat option)
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar (coconut sugar is a suitable alternative)
  • 1/2 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 (can replace with full-fat coconut milk for a dairy-free option)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Whipped Cream Topping

  • 1 cup Heavy Cream, chilled
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar (no substitutes recommended; essential for stabilization)
  • Additional Biscoff cookie crumbs for garnish
  • 6 whole Biscoff Cookies for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the Biscoff cookie crumbs, melted butter, Biscoff cookie butter, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Mix with a fork until the mixture is moist and crumbly. Firmly press the mixture into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the room temperature cream cheese on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until creamy and smooth. Gradually add granulated sugar and Biscoff cookie butter, mixing until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition to avoid overmixing, until the batter is smooth. Gently fold in sour cream, heavy cream, and vanilla extract to achieve a velvety batter.
  3. Prepare for Baking: Wrap the bottom of the springform pan tightly with aluminum foil to prevent water from seeping in during baking. Place the springform pan into a larger baking dish and fill the dish with hot water halfway up the sides of the pan.
  4. Bake the Cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 60 to 70 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is still slightly jiggly.
  5. Cool the Cheesecake Gradually: Turn off the oven but leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour to cool gradually and prevent cracks. Afterward, remove from the oven and allow it to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Then refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 8 hours or overnight to fully set.
  6. Prepare the Whipped Cream Topping and Serve: Before serving, whip the chilled heavy cream in a bowl, gradually adding powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the chilled cheesecake. Garnish with additional Biscoff cookie crumbs and whole Biscoff cookies. Slice and enjoy your indulgent dessert.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese to ensure a smooth, lump-free batter.
  • Wrapping the springform pan bottom in foil is essential to prevent water from leaking into the crust during the water bath bake.
  • Gradual cooling inside the oven after baking helps prevent cracks on the cheesecake surface.
  • You can substitute Biscoff cookie butter with other cookie or nut butters for a different flavor profile.
  • For a dairy-free version, use coconut oil instead of butter, coconut milk instead of heavy cream, and vegan cream cheese alternatives.
  • Allow the cheesecake to chill overnight for best texture and flavor.
