Did you all know that Biscoff is short for biscuits and coffee? It is a wonderful spread that has a brown sugar, butter and spice flavor. All those flavors really come out together in my Biscoff Cheesecake.
A rich speculoos crust topped with a smooth cheesecake filling. In addition, I added the melted cookie butter and crumbles and drizzled all over the top! A slice of heaven on a plate!
It pairs well with a cup of Joe, but since I am not a coffee lover (I know, I know, I can feel the disappointment) I’ll have my slice with a cup of cow juice for a nice nightly dessert!
My history with Biscoff cookies
I only became familiar with this amazing brand of cookies and desserts when I first made my Biscoff Donut muffin. Nevertheless, that was all it took and I was hooked!
I made my own cookie butter for my donut muffin recipe, but for the Biscoff cheesecake recipe I bought the Great Value Brand of cookie butter from Walmart. It required a smooth cookie butter versus a chunky cookie butter.
In the future, I am sure you will see more Biscoff recipes from me as they are starting to become more popular here in the US!
Ingredients in Biscoff cheesecake
- Lotus speculoos cookie: 8.8 oz package and smaller one for garnish on top if desired.
- Granulated sugar
- Salt
- Cream cheese
- Eggs
- Heavy whipping cream
- Sour cream
- Vanilla extract
- Cookie butter
Tips for biscoff cheesecake
- Be sure to place the 9 inch springform pan in a roasting pan with a little bit of water in the bottom during baking. This will prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
- Be sure to only use full fat cream cheese. Lower fat cream cheese will not give you the same result.
- This cheesecake can also be done as a no bake recipe, which would require gelatin for a stabilizer or prepared whipped cream.
How to make the Biscoff cheesecake
The crust
First, pulse down speculoos cookies in a food processor. Add them to a large mixing bowl. Pour in already melted butter, granulated sugar and a pinch of salt. Fold well until crust mixture comes together.
Press firmly in a 9 inch springform pan on the bottom. Set aside. Watch tutorial below on how to make the speculoos crust.
The cookie butter cheesecake filling
Second, in a mixing bowl blend the cream cheese together on medium until it is smooth. Next, add the sugar and salt until thoroughly combined.
Third, add eggs one at a time and mixing until incorporated scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.
Fourth, add the heavy cream, sour cream, and vanilla. Beat until completely combined. Gently fold in the cookie butter and pour over the prepared crust.
Lastly, bake the cheesecake for 75-80 minutes or until the edges are firm but the center is still jiggly. Let it cool to room temperature and cover with aluminum foil. Refrigerate overnight to set. Garnish with melted cookie butter and more speculoos cookies!
