Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Base:
- 250 grams (8.8 ounces) biscoff cookies
- 100 grams (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted
Cheesecake Filling:
- 680 grams (24 ounces) cream cheese
- 200 grams (1 cup) granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
Topping:
- 150 grams (5.3 ounces) biscoff spread
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 350F (175C) and create a crumbly foundation by pulverizing Biscoff cookies with melted butter.
- Firmly compact the cookie mixture into the base of a springform pan, then bake for 10 minutes to set the crust.
- Whip cream cheese and sugar until velvety smooth, then incorporate eggs and vanilla, blending thoroughly until the mixture achieves a uniform consistency.
- Gently cascade the creamy filling over the pre-baked crust, ensuring an even distribution.
- Slide the cheesecake into the oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, watching for a slightly firm center with a gentle wobble.
- Allow the cheesecake to cool completely at room temperature, preventing sudden temperature changes that could cause cracking.
- Warm the Biscoff spread slightly to enhance spreadability, then lavishly drizzle and smooth it across the top of the cooled cheesecake.
- Refrigerate the dessert for a minimum of 4 hours, permitting the flavors to meld and the texture to set perfectly before serving.
Notes
- Ensure cookies are finely crushed for a smooth, compact crust that holds together perfectly when sliced.
- Replace butter with vegan alternative and use dairy-free cream cheese for a delightful plant-based version of this decadent dessert.
- Prevent cheesecake cracks by using room temperature ingredients and avoiding overmixing the batter, which introduces excess air.
- Create a water bath by placing the springform pan in a larger pan filled with hot water during baking to promote even, gentle cooking and prevent surface cracking.
