Ingredients
Scale
- 16 oz (454 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream, whipped to stiff peaks
- 2 cups (about 20 cookies) Biscoff cookies, crushed
- ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup (236 ml) Biscoff cookie butter, melted
- Optional: Crushed Biscoff cookies for garnish
Instructions
- Crust Creation: Pulverize Biscoff cookies into fine crumbs, merge with melted butter, and press firmly into a springform pan’s base. Chill briefly to set the foundation’s integrity.
- Filling Fusion: Whip cream cheese until supremely silky, blend with powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Fold in liquefied Biscoff cookie butter, creating a luxurious, smooth mixture. Gently incorporate whipped cream to maintain an airy, light texture.
- Assembly Technique: Pour the creamy filling over the chilled crust, smoothing with a spatula to eliminate air pockets and achieve a flawless surface.
- Refrigeration Ritual: Refrigerate the cheesecake for a minimum of four hours, preferably overnight, allowing flavors to harmonize and filling to set completely.
- Finishing Flourish: Before serving, drizzle melted Biscoff cookie butter across the top. Garnish with crushed Biscoff cookies for added texture and visual appeal. Carefully release from springform pan, slice with a heated knife, and serve chilled for optimal enjoyment.
Notes
- Prevent Cracking Technique: Bake cheesecake in a water bath to maintain consistent temperature and prevent surface cracks, ensuring a smooth, creamy texture without unsightly fissures.
- Softening Cream Cheese: Allow cream cheese to reach room temperature before mixing to guarantee ultra-smooth consistency and eliminate lumpy patches in the filling.
- Crushing Cookie Technique: Use a food processor or rolling pin to create ultra-fine Biscoff cookie crumbs, ensuring a compact, even crust that holds together perfectly when sliced.
- Dairy-Free Adaptation: Substitute dairy cream cheese with vegan alternatives like cashew or coconut-based cream cheese to create a delectable plant-based version that maintains the dessert’s rich, creamy essence.
