Ingredients

1 ½ cups Biscoff cookies (crumbled)
5 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
16 oz cream cheese (room temperature)
½ cup powdered sugar
½ cup Biscoff spread
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon granulated sugar

Instructions

Step 1: Crush the Biscoff cookies finely using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and rolling with a rolling pin. Mix the cookie crumbs with the melted butter until combined, then press the mixture firmly into the base of your serving glasses or pan. Chill for 10 minutes to set.
Step 2: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Add the powdered sugar and mix until creamy and fully incorporated.
Step 3: Gently fold in the Biscoff spread, swirling it through the cream cheese mixture rather than fully mixing, to create pockets of flavor.
Step 4: Whip the heavy cream with the granulated sugar until soft peaks form. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to retain its light and airy texture.
Step 5: Spoon or spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled crust. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the filling to set properly.
Step 6: Before serving, garnish with extra Biscoff cookie crumbs or a drizzle of Biscoff spread for added texture and flavor. Serve chilled and enjoy.

Tips & Variations

Use room-temperature cream cheese to make beating easier and to achieve a smooth texture.
Fold the whipped cream gently to avoid deflating the mixture and keep the cheesecake light.
For a firmer cheesecake, consider mixing in gelatin or agar-agar before folding in the whipped cream.
Substitute Biscoff cookies with graham crackers or digestive biscuits if needed, though the flavor will differ.
Add a tablespoon of espresso powder to the filling for a subtle coffee flavor boost.

Storage

Store the cheesecake covered tightly in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to maintain freshness and texture. For longer storage, wrap individual portions tightly in plastic wrap and foil, then freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving to keep the creamy texture intact.

FAQs

Can I use regular cookies instead of Biscoff for the crust?

Yes, you can substitute graham crackers or digestive biscuits for the Biscoff cookies. Keep in mind, the flavor will be less caramelized and lack the signature spice that Biscoff provides.

How do I know when the cheesecake filling is set enough?

The filling should feel firm around the edges and slightly jiggly in the center but should hold its shape when scooped. If it seems too soft, refrigerate for longer until it firms up.
