Ingredients

• 2 cups Biscoff cookie crumbs (About 24-26 cookies, crushed or one 8.8 oz package)

• 1 pinch salt (Elevates the flavors beautifully)
• 16 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature (Offers a rich, creamy texture)
• 1 cup Biscoff cookie butter spread (The star ingredient)
• 3/4 cup powdered sugar (Sweetens the filling without adding grittiness)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract (Enhances the overall flavor profile)
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional) (Adds warmth and depth)
• 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold (Creates a light and fluffy filling)
• 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (For topping)
• 1/4 cup Biscoff spread (For drizzling)
• Extra Biscoff cookies, to taste (For decorating)

Tips & Variations

• For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free Biscoff-style cookies or substitute with gluten-free graham crackers.
• Chill the cream cheese well in advance to make it easier to whip for a smoother filling.
• Add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom with the cinnamon for a spiced twist.
• Use disposable piping bags to create decorative swirls with the topping for an elegant presentation.
• For extra crunch, sprinkle crushed Biscoff cookies on top just before serving.

Storage

Store the cheesecake covered in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Keep it in a springform pan or transfer to an airtight container to prevent it from absorbing other flavors. When ready to serve, let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes for the best texture. Avoid freezing, as the texture may change upon thawing.

FAQs

Can I use regular peanut butter instead of Biscoff spread?

While you can substitute peanut butter, the flavor will be quite different. Biscoff spread is sweeter with caramel notes, so the cheesecake’s signature taste will change. For best results, stick with Biscoff spread or a similar cookie butter.

Do I need a springform pan for this recipe?

A springform pan is highly recommended to easily remove the cheesecake without damaging its shape. If you don’t have one, line a regular pan with parchment paper extending over the sides to help lift the cheesecake out after chilling.
