Ingredients
- For the Crust:
- 250g (about 8.8 oz) Lotus Biscoff biscuits
- 125g (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted
- For the Filling:
- 500g (17.5 oz) full-fat cream cheese, at room temperature
- 100g (1/2 cup) icing sugar
- 250g (1 cup) smooth Biscoff spread
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 250ml (1 cup) double cream or heavy whipping cream, cold
- For the Topping:
- 2 tbsp Biscoff spread, melted
- A handful of Biscoff biscuits, crushed
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Place the Biscoff biscuits in a food processor and blitz into fine crumbs. Alternatively, place them in a sealed bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Transfer the crumbs to a bowl and pour in the melted butter. Mix until fully combined, resembling wet sand.
- Form the Base: Tip the buttery crumbs into a 23cm (9-inch) springform pan. Press the mixture down firmly and evenly across the bottom and slightly up the sides using the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass. Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes while you prepare the filling.
- Make the Filling: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the room-temperature cream cheese and icing sugar together until smooth and free of lumps. Add the Biscoff spread and vanilla extract, and beat again until well combined.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the cold double cream until it forms stiff peaks. Be careful not to over-whip.
- Combine: Gently fold the whipped cream into the Biscoff and cream cheese mixture in two or three additions. Continue to fold until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined, with no white streaks remaining.
- Assemble and Chill: Spoon the creamy filling over your chilled biscuit base, spreading it out into an even layer with a spatula or the back of a spoon. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until firm.
- Decorate and Serve: Once set, carefully run a knife around the edge of the cheesecake before releasing it from the springform pan. Gently melt the 2 tablespoons of Biscoff spread in the microwave in short bursts. Drizzle it over the top of the cheesecake and sprinkle with the extra crushed biscuits. Slice and serve chilled.
