Ingredients
Cream cheese (900g), full-fat and softened
Biscoff cookies (250g), finely crushed
Unsalted butter (115g), melted
Granulated sugar (200g)
Biscoff cookie spread (1 cup), divided
Large eggs (3), lightly beaten
vanilla bean paste (1 teaspoon)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 160°C (325°F). Combine the crushed Biscoff cookies and melted butter, mixing thoroughly. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of a greased 23cm springform pan. Set aside.
Step 2: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the granulated sugar, vanilla bean paste, and 1/2 cup of the Biscoff spread, mixing until fully incorporated and lump-free.
Step 3: Gently beat in the lightly whisked eggs, one at a time, mixing only until just combined to avoid overmixing. Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared Biscoff crust.
Step 4: Prepare a water bath (bain-marie) by wrapping the outside of the springform pan tightly in aluminum foil, and placing it into a larger roasting pan. Carefully pour boiling water into the roasting pan until it reaches halfway up the side of the cheesecake pan. Bake for 60–75 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center slightly jiggles.
Step 5: Turn off the oven, prop the oven door slightly ajar, and allow the cheesecake to cool slowly inside the oven for 1 hour. Remove the cheesecake from the water bath, cool completely on a wire rack, and then refrigerate for a minimum of 6 hours or preferably overnight.
Step 6: Just before serving, gently warm the remaining 1/2 cup of Biscoff spread until pourable, then drizzle or spread it evenly over the chilled cheesecake.
Notes
Keep leftover slices stored in an airtight container in the fridge for peak freshness and enjoyment within five days.
Since this dessert is served chilled, only the final 1/2 cup of Biscoff topping requires gentle warming (about 10-15 seconds) to achieve that perfect, glossy drizzle consistency.
Elevate the texture and presentation by serving each slice with a generous dollop of unsweetened whipped cream and a light scattering of finely crushed Biscoff crumbs.
To guarantee a silky, lump-free filling, ensure your cream cheese is truly at room temperature before beating, and remember to mix the eggs only until just combined to prevent cracks during baking.
