Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups (150g) Biscoff cookies, finely crushed (or graham crackers as a substitute)
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional)
  • 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (260g) Biscoff cookie butter, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • For topping (optional): 1/4 cup (65g) Biscoff cookie butter, warmed slightly for drizzling
  • Whipped cream or crushed Biscoff cookies for garnish

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Crush Biscoff cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and rolling with a rolling pin.
  2. Step 2: Mix the cookie crumbs with melted butter and 2 tablespoons of sugar (if using) until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  3. Step 3: Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan, creating an even layer. Compact tightly using the bottom of a glass.
  4. Step 4: Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool while you prepare the filling.
  5. Step 5: In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and free of lumps.
  6. Step 6: Add granulated sugar and continue to beat until creamy.
  7. Step 7: Mix in the Biscoff cookie butter until fully incorporated, avoiding lumps.
  8. Step 8: Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined after each addition to prevent overbeating.
  9. Step 9: Gently fold in sour cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt using a spatula until the mixture is smooth and silky.
  10. Step 10: Pour the filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top. Tap the pan gently on the counter to release any air bubbles.
  11. Step 11: Bake the cheesecake at 325°F (160°C) for 50-60 minutes until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle.
  12. Step 12: Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour to cool gradually.
  13. Step 13: Transfer the cheesecake to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  14. Step 14: Before serving, warm the Biscoff cookie butter slightly and drizzle it over the top. Garnish with whipped cream or crushed Biscoff cookies if desired.

Tips & Variations

  • Use graham crackers as a substitute for Biscoff cookies if you prefer a milder crust flavor.
  • To avoid cracks in the cheesecake, mix ingredients gently and avoid overbeating the eggs.
  • For a more intense Biscoff flavor, swirl a few tablespoons of cookie butter into the batter before baking.
  • Chill the cheesecake overnight for the best texture and flavor.

Storage

Store the cheesecake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze the cheesecake (well wrapped) for up to 1 month. When ready to serve, thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Reheat the cookie butter topping slightly before drizzling again.

FAQs

Can I use store-bought Biscoff cookie butter for this recipe?

Yes, store-bought Biscoff cookie butter works perfectly and is the easiest option for bringing that signature flavor.

What do I do if my cheesecake cracks?

Cracks often happen from overbaking or rapid cooling. To minimize cracks, bake until just set with a slight jiggle in the center and cool gradually with the oven door ajar before refrigerating.

  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional)

Filling

  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Topping (optional)

  • 1/4 cup (65g) Biscoff cookie butter, warmed slightly for drizzling
  • Whipped cream or crushed Biscoff cookies for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Crust: Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Crush Biscoff cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin in a zip-top bag to ensure a uniform texture.
  2. Mix Crust Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the crushed cookie crumbs with melted butter and optional sugar, mixing until the texture resembles wet sand, which helps the crust bind together.
  3. Form Crust Base: Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan. Use the bottom of a glass to compact it tightly, ensuring a solid foundation for the cheesecake.
  4. Bake Crust: Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Once baked, remove from oven and set aside to cool while preparing the filling.
  5. Beat Cream Cheese: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and free of lumps, creating a creamy base for the filling.
  6. Add Sugar: Incorporate granulated sugar into the cream cheese and beat until the mixture becomes creamy and well combined.
  7. Combine Biscoff Cookie Butter: Add the Biscoff cookie butter to the mixture, mixing thoroughly to avoid any lumps and achieve a smooth consistency.
  8. Incorporate Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined after each addition to prevent overbeating which can cause cracks during baking.
  9. Fold in Remaining Ingredients: Gently fold in the sour cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt using a spatula until the filling is smooth and silky without overmixing.
  10. Pour and Prepare for Baking: Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, smoothing the top evenly. Tap the pan gently on the countertop to release any trapped air bubbles.
  11. Bake Cheesecake: Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle, ensuring a creamy texture.
  12. Cool Gradually: Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour to cool slowly, minimizing cracks.
  13. Chill: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or ideally overnight to fully set and develop flavor.
  14. Add Topping and Serve: Before serving, warm the Biscoff cookie butter slightly and drizzle it over the top. Garnish with whipped cream or crushed Biscoff cookies if desired to enhance presentation and flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure all dairy ingredients like cream cheese, eggs, and sour cream are at room temperature for a smooth batter and to prevent lumps.
  • Do not overbeat the eggs to avoid air incorporation which can cause cracks in the cheesecake.
  • Allowing the cheesecake to cool gradually inside the oven helps prevent the top from cracking.
  • For a firmer crust, chill the crust for 15 minutes before baking.
  • This recipe can be made a day ahead; chilling overnight improves the flavor and texture.
