Creamy Biscoff Cheesecake

This silky Biscoff cheesecake has been my go-to dessert for countless family gatherings and dinner parties. The smooth, caramel-like flavor of Biscoff cookies mixed with creamy cheesecake creates something truly wonderful. I've tweaked this recipe many times over the years to get just the right mix of flavors and texture.

I brought this to my neighbor's birthday party last weekend. Watching everyone's faces light up with their first taste reminded me why I keep sharing this treat. Their plates were empty within minutes, and I left with three people asking me for the recipe.

Key Ingredients Breakdown

• Biscoff Cookies: They're the foundation of our dessert. Pick packages that don't rattle - broken cookies mean they've been bumped around and might not taste fresh
• Full-Fat Cream Cheese: My golden rule: don't go cheap on cream cheese. It's what makes our cheesecake amazing
• Double Cream: Should be fresh and cold. If you shake the container gently, it should feel substantial
• Biscoff Spread: Our flavor booster that adds extra caramel richness
• Unsalted Butter: Makes sure our base stays intact
• Optional Toppings: Extra Biscoff cookies for decoration, fresh fruit creates nice contrast

Easy-to-Follow Method

Getting Your Tools Ready:

Use a deep 9-inch springform pan. Put parchment paper on the bottom, letting it come up the sides slightly. Lightly butter the sides of the pan.

Making a Solid Foundation:

Crush Biscoff cookies into fine crumbs with a food processor or rolling pin. Mix with melted butter until everything's coated. Push into the pan and chill.

Creating the Smooth Filling:

Mix room temperature cream cheese until it's fluffy. Slowly add room temperature Biscoff spread. In a separate bowl, whip cold double cream until soft peaks form.

Putting It All Together:

Gently mix whipped cream into the cheese mixture. Pour over the chilled base and smooth the top. Tap gently to get rid of bubbles.

Adding Special Touches:

Slightly heat extra Biscoff spread and drizzle over the top. Sprinkle crushed cookies around the edge before the spread hardens.

My daughter now keeps Biscoff spread in her kitchen just for making this cheesecake. The warm, spiced caramel taste always makes me think of relaxing afternoons with coffee.

Smooth Texture Secrets

Getting that velvety texture comes down to watching your temperatures. Each ingredient does its part in making the perfect slice. Let the finished cheesecake sit out for 15-20 minutes before serving to really bring out all the flavors.

Ways To Serve

This cheesecake tastes amazing by itself, but I like to add seasonal touches. In summer, a handful of raspberries adds some tang. During autumn, a light sprinkle of cinnamon brings out the warm spices. For fancy occasions, try adding a thin drizzle of dark chocolate.

Keeping It Fresh

Your cheesecake will stay good in the fridge for up to 5 days if covered. Use a cake container or wrap it carefully with plastic, but don't touch the top. If you want to freeze it, cut it first and put baking paper between slices so you can thaw them one at a time.

Quick Fixes

If your filling seems too runny, you probably didn't whip the cream enough. Stick it in the freezer for half an hour before going on. If your base falls apart, just chill it a bit longer.
