Equipment Needed

  1. Springform Pan (9-inch): Ensures easy release of the cheesecake without damaging its edges.
  2. Food Processor: Perfect for crushing cookies and blending ingredients smoothly.
  3. Electric Mixer: Essential for achieving a fluffy, lump-free filling.
  4. Spatula: For scraping every last bit of that luscious filling into the pan.
  5. Parchment Paper: For lining the pan, making cleanup a breeze.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the Crust

  1. Crush the Biscoff cookies in a food processor until they resemble fine crumbs.
  2. Combine the crumbs with melted butter in a bowl, mixing until evenly moistened.
  3. Press the mixture firmly into the base of a lined springform pan, creating an even layer.
  4. Chill the crust in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to set.

Make the Filling

  1. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add the heavy cream, Biscoff spread, and vanilla extract, continuing to mix until fully incorporated.
  3. (Optional) Dissolve gelatin powder in 2 tablespoons of warm water and mix it into the filling for added stability.

Assemble the Cheesecake

  1. Pour the filling over the chilled crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
  2. Smooth the top with an offset spatula or the back of a spoon for a clean finish.

Chill and Decorate

  1. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 6 hours or, ideally, overnight to ensure it sets properly.
  2. Once set, gently release the cheesecake from the springform pan.
  3. Garnish with crumbled Biscoff cookies, a drizzle of warmed Biscoff spread, and whole cookies arranged decoratively on top.

Tips and Variations

  • For a No-Bake Version: Ensure the filling is thickened with gelatin or agar-agar to maintain its structure.
  • Make It Vegan: Use dairy-free cream cheese and coconut cream, and swap the butter with a plant-based alternative.
  • Add a Twist: Incorporate a layer of caramel or chocolate ganache between the crust and filling for added decadence.
  • Individual Portions: Use a muffin tin with cupcake liners for mini cheesecakes.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this cheesecake on a large, flat plate with a drizzle of extra Biscoff spread for a gourmet touch. Pair it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence. For an eye-catching presentation, scatter some cookie crumbs around the plate and add a sprig of fresh mint on top.

Pairings

Enhance the experience with a latte or cappuccino, as the coffee’s slight bitterness complements the cheesecake’s sweetness beautifully. If you prefer something cooler, a chilled glass of Moscato or a caramel-flavored iced latte would also pair delightfully.

Storage and Reheating

Store leftover cheesecake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For longer storage, wrap slices tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw frozen slices in the refrigerator overnight before serving. Avoid microwaving to preserve the creamy texture.
