Ingredients

Biscoff Cookie Crust

  • 2 packages Biscoff cookies, 8.8 ounces each
  • 1/2 cup melted butter

Cheesecake Filling

  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 3/4 of a container Biscoff cookie butter, reserving the remaining 1/4 for topping
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 cups cold heavy whipping cream

Topping

  • Reserved Biscoff cookie butter
  • 6 reserved Biscoff cookies, for decorating and crumbling

Instructions

  • Prepare the crust.
  • Set aside 6 Biscoff cookies for decorating. Place the remaining cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Alternatively, crush them in a sealed zip-top bag with a rolling pin.
  • Combine the cookie crumbs and melted butter, mixing with a fork until evenly coated.
  • Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of an 8–9-inch springform pan. Use the flat bottom of a measuring cup to pack the crust tightly. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
  • Whip the cream.
  • In a large bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  • Prepare the Biscoff filling.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add 3/4 of the container of Biscoff cookie butter and mix until fully combined.
  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in batches, just until no streaks remain.
  • Fill and refrigerate.
  • Spread the filling evenly over the chilled Biscoff crust and smooth the top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, until firm.
  • Add the cookie butter topping.
  • Place the remaining Biscoff cookie butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 10–15-second intervals, stirring between each, until just pourable.
  • Let it cool until barely warm, then gently spread over the chilled cheesecake. Return to the refrigerator for 15–30 minutes to allow the topping to firm up.
  • Decorate and serve.
  • Carefully release the cheesecake from the springform pan. Decorate with some of the reserved cookies and crumble the remaining cookies around the edges. Slice and serve chilled.

Connie’s notes

  • Use full-fat block cream cheese. It gives the filling a richer texture and helps it hold its shape.
  • Soften the cream cheese completely. This makes it easier to achieve a smooth filling without lumps.
  • Keep the heavy cream cold. Whip it until the peaks hold their shape, then fold it gently into the filling to preserve the air.
  • Check your cookie butter container size. This recipe uses 3/4 for the filling and 1/4 for the topping. Use the same size container each time for consistent results.
  • Give it time to set. A 2–3-hour chill may leave the center too soft for clean slices. Overnight is best.
  • Avoid a hot topping. The melted cookie butter should be barely warm before it touches the cheesecake.
  • Decorate close to serving. The cookies will stay crunchier when added at the last minute.
  • Use a warm, clean knife. Wipe the blade between cuts for neat slices.
  • Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
