Method
- Line the base of your springform pan with parchment paper.
- Crush the Biscoff cookies in a food processor or by placing them in a ziplock bag and crushing with a rolling pin until fine crumbs form.
- Combine the cookie crumbs with melted butter in a bowl. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
- Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the springform pan to form an even layer. Place in the fridge to set while you make the filling.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, icing sugar, 150 g Lotus Biscoff spread, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy using an electric mixer.
- In a separate bowl, whip the cold cream to soft peaks.
- Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and smooth.
- Spoon the filling onto the chilled cookie base, spreading evenly and smoothing the top.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
- Once set, gently run a knife around the edge and remove the sides of the pan.
- For the topping, gently warm the 80 g Lotus Biscoff spread in a small saucepan or microwave until pourable (not hot). Pour over the cheesecake, spreading gently to the edges.
- Sprinkle the top with crushed cookies and refrigerate for 15 more minutes to set the topping.
Notes
The cheesecake can be made up to 2 days ahead and stored, covered, in the refrigerator.
For a firmer crust, bake the base at 180°C (350°F) for 8 minutes, then cool before adding filling (optional).
Always use full-fat cream cheese for best texture.
This cheesecake is not suitable for freezing, as the filling may lose its creamy consistency upon thawing.
