What are Biscoff cookies and cookie butter?

Lotus Biscoff is a brand of speculoos cookies. They're crunchy biscuits with a warm spiced caramel flavor, commonly served on airplanes! Like peanuts to peanut butter, the cookies are ground into a spread known as cookie butter. This spread comes in creamy and crunchy varieties. The cookies and butter can both be found in many grocery stores or purchased online. Trader Joe's also has their own brand of speculoos cookies and cookie butter that are delicious as well!

Ingredients

• Biscoff cookies and creamy Biscoff spread pack this cookie butter cheesecake with speculoos flavor. If you prefer crunchy cookie butter, feel free to use that instead of creamy! For this recipe, you'll just need one 8.8 oz package of Biscoff cookies and one 14.1 oz jar of cookie butter. However, if you plan on decorating it with extra cookies, you'll want a second package!
• Cream cheese and sour cream add rich creaminess reminiscent of traditional cheesecake. Use full fat ingredients for the best results. Make sure your cream cheese has softened at room temperature so that there aren't any clumps in the filling.
• Heavy whipping cream gets whipped up and added to the filling to create a light and airy cheesecake.
• Lemon juice is an acid to help the filling firm up while also adding a slight tang.

How to Use a Springform Pan

Having a pan with a removable bottom is very important for cheesecakes since you can't just flip them out like a regular cake. I recommend placing a sheet of parchment paper flat on the bottom of the springform pan and locking the sides over it. This will allow you to slide the cheesecake off of the bottom of the pan smoothly!

When you're ready to remove the cheesecake from the pan, carefully run a knife along the edge before releasing the clamp. Then, lift the sides up to remove them and slide the cheesecake onto your serving plate.

How to Make Biscoff Cheesecake

Step 1: Chop Biscoff cookies and melted butter in a food processor until it resembles wet sand.

Step 2: Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan. I like to use the bottom of a glass or measuring cup for this step! Then freeze the crust while making the cheesecake filling.

Step 3: Whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks. This is when the cream is thick enough to hold its shape. An electric mixer helps make this step go faster, but it can be whisked by hand as well!

Step 4: In a separate bowl, stir the cream cheese until smooth. Then mix in the sour cream, lemon juice, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and Biscoff spread.

Step 5: Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until just incorporated. Overmixing will deflate the whipped cream, so be careful not to over-do it!

Step 6: Spread the cheesecake filling over the frozen crust and refrigerate overnight.

Expert Baking Tips

1. Use cold, high fat heavy whipping cream for the best results. This will whip up better and add richness to the cheesecake filling.
2. Don't have a food processor? Crush the cookies in a zipped bag and then mix them with the melted butter really well!
3. Decorate the Biscoff cheesecake by drizzling melted cookie butter over the top! You could also pipe extra whipped cream and sprinkle crushed cookies on top.
4. Carefully run a knife along the edge of the cheesecake before removing it from the pan.
