Introduction

The Biscoff Cookie Butter Cheesecake is a luxurious dessert that combines the rich, spiced flavor of Biscoff cookies with the creamy indulgence of classic cheesecake.

Perfect for special occasions or as a showstopping treat, this cheesecake balances sweetness with the warm, cinnamon-like notes of Biscoff, creating a dessert that is both nostalgic and sophisticated.

Ingredients

For the Crust

  • 2 cups (200g) Biscoff cookie crumbs (about 24 cookies)
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling

  • 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (250g) Biscoff cookie butter
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (120ml) heavy cream

For the Topping

  • ¾ cup (190g) Biscoff cookie butter, melted
  • Extra Biscoff cookie crumbs for garnish

(Optional: Whipped cream or caramel drizzle for serving)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, mix Biscoff crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until evenly combined.
  3. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of the pan.
  4. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool while preparing the filling.

2. Make the Cheesecake Filling

  1. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add Biscoff cookie butter and mix until fully incorporated.
  3. Beat in eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract.
  4. Gently stir in heavy cream until the batter is silky and uniform.

3. Bake the Cheesecake

  1. Pour the filling over the cooled crust.
  2. Place the springform pan in a larger baking dish and fill the outer dish with hot water (to prevent cracks).
  3. Bake for 50–60 minutes until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly.
  4. Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.
  5. Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight).

4. Add the Topping

  1. Warm Biscoff cookie butter in the microwave until pourable (about 30 seconds).
  2. Spread evenly over the chilled cheesecake.
  3. Garnish with crushed Biscoff cookies.

5. Serve

  • Slice with a warm knife for clean edges.
  • Serve chilled, with optional whipped cream or caramel drizzle.
