directions

Prepare the crust: In a bowl, combine crushed Biscoff cookies and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Refrigerate while making the filling.
-
Make the filling: Beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add Biscoff spread and vanilla, mixing until uniform. In a separate bowl, whip cold heavy cream to stiff peaks, then gently fold into the Biscoff-cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
-
Assemble: Pour the filling over the chilled crust, smoothing the surface with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, until firm.
-
Add topping: Once set, melt remaining Biscoff spread and pour over the top, spreading evenly. Sprinkle with extra crushed Biscoff cookies and arrange whole cookies for garnish. Optionally, pipe whipped cream around the edges.
-
Serve: Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan, slice, and serve chilled. Enjoy!

FAQs
Can I reduce the sugar in the filling?
Yes—reduce powdered sugar by up to 25%. The Biscoff spread provides significant sweetness, so adjust to taste.
What can I use instead of a springform pan?
Use any cake pan or deep dish. Line the bottom with parchment for easy removal, then cut and serve directly.
How do I melt Biscoff spread easily?
Microwave briefly (10 seconds) or use a double boiler. Stir until smooth and pourable.
Can I use whipped topping instead of heavy cream?
Stabilized whipped toppings can work, but heavy cream offers better structure and texture.
My cheesecake is hard to slice; any tips?
Dip a sharp knife in hot water, wipe dry, then slice. Repeat between cuts for smooth edges.
Can I add fruit to this cheesecake?
Yes—top with fresh berries or add a berry compote for a fruity contrast.
Can I make it ahead for a party?
Absolutely—prepare and assemble the night before. Garnish just before serving for a fresh look.
Is Biscoff spread gluten-free?
No—it contains wheat and isn’t gluten-free.
Can I use reduced-fat cream cheese?
You can, but full-fat achieves the best creamy texture and flavor.
Is gelatin needed to stabilize the cheesecake?
No—whipped cream folds into the filling, providing sufficient structure when chilled.
