In recent years, Biscoff cheesecake has emerged as a beloved dessert that combines the rich creaminess of cheesecake with the irresistible flavor of Biscoff cookies. This delectable treat has captured the hearts and taste buds of dessert enthusiasts worldwide. If you're eager to learn how to create this mouthwatering masterpiece in your own kitchen, you've come to the right place. In this article, we'll guide you through a step-by-step process on how to make Biscoff cheesecake that is sure to impress even the most discerning dessert connoisseurs.
1. Gathering Your Ingredients:
The first step in creating a sensational Biscoff cheesecake is to gather all the necessary ingredients. You'll need Biscoff cookies, cream cheese, powdered sugar, butter, vanilla extract, heavy cream, and biscoff spread. Ensuring that you have all the ingredients ready before you begin will streamline the baking process and prevent any last-minute surprises.
2. Preparing the Biscoff Crust:
The foundation of any good cheesecake lies in its crust. For a Biscoff cheesecake, the crust is made from crushed Biscoff cookies, combined with melted butter. Simply crush the cookies in a food processor or place them in a sealed bag and crush them using a rolling pin. Mix the crushed cookies with melted butter and press the mixture into the base of a springform pan. Set this aside to use later.
3. Creating the Creamy Filling:
The creamy filling is the pièce de résistance of any cheesecake. To make the Biscoff-flavored filling, start by beating cream cheese, Biscoff Butter, and vanilla extract together until smooth. In a seperate bowl beat together heay whipping cream and the powdered sugar. Once it has reached stiff peaks, fold it inside the cream cheese mixture. Make sure to not whip it in as you don't want to get rid of the air whipped inside the cream.
4. Preparing and Refrigerating:
Add the prepared mixture into the springform pan with the crust. Even out the top and place in the refrigerator for an hour. After it has been an hour, melt biscoff butter and spread it on the top of the cheesecake. Refrigerate for at least 5 hours. Overnight is recommended to allow it to set completely.
5. Finishing Touches:
Before serving, you can add additional Biscoff cookies on top for an extra crunch and drizzle some melted Biscoff spread for an indulgent finishing touch. Slice and serve chilled for the perfect balance of creamy, crunchy, and sweet flavors.
Conclusion:
Mastering the art of making Biscoff cheesecake is a delightful journey that promises to satisfy your sweet tooth and impress your loved ones.

Additional Information:
Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing to prevent lumps in the filling.
When crushing the Lotus Biscoff cookies for the crust, aim for a fine texture to ensure the crust holds together well.
Press the cookie crust firmly into the bottom of the pan to create a solid base for the cheesecake.
Refrigerate the crust while preparing the filling to help it set and hold its shape.
When folding the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, do so gently to maintain the airy texture and avoid deflating the filling.
To achieve a smooth and even surface on the cheesecake, use a spatula or the back of a spoon to spread the filling evenly.
Allow the cheesecake to chill in the refrigerator for at least 5 hours, or preferably overnight, to set properly and develop the best flavor.
Before slicing and serving, run a knife around the edges of the springform pan to loosen the cheesecake.
This is a smaller cheesecake since it uses an 8 OZ pack of cream cheese. However, I recommend using 16 OZ of cream cheese as it will make a much richer and larger cheesecake. I only had a small portion of cream cheese available at that time which is why my cake is much smaller compared to the usual size of a cheesecake. If you do decide to use 16 OZ double the rest of the ingredients too to balance out the flavor. This will lead to a much more delightful recipe.
