Directions

For Biscuit Base:

1. Prepare the Crust: Using a food processor, crush the 23 Biscoff cookies until they turn into fine crumbs. Transfer the crumbs to a bowl.
2. Melt the Butter: Melt the butter in a microwave or on the stove. Add the melted butter to the cookie crumbs and mix well until the crumbs are evenly coated.
3. Press Into Pan: Grease an 8×8 baking pan. Press the cookie crumb mixture into the base of the pan, packing it tightly. Refrigerate the base while you prepare the cheesecake filling.

For Cheesecake Filling:

1. Mix the Filling: In a stand mixer or medium-sized bowl with a hand mixer, beat together the Biscoff spread and room-temperature cream cheese until smooth and well combined.
2. Add Icing Sugar: Add the icing sugar to the mixture and continue to mix until fully combined and smooth.
3. Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake filling onto the prepared cookie crust and smooth it out with a spatula to create an even layer.
4. Top with Biscoff Spread: Drizzle the melted Biscoff spread over the cheesecake filling. Then, sprinkle a few crushed Biscoff cookies around the edges for decoration.
5. Chill: Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to fully set.

FAQs

1. Can I make this cheesecake without a food processor?

Yes, if you don’t have a food processor, you can place the Biscoff cookies in a plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin until they turn into fine crumbs.

2. Can I use another type of cookie for the crust?

You can use graham crackers, digestives, or any other sweet, crunchy cookies if you don’t have Biscoff cookies, though the flavor won’t be quite the same.

3. Can I use a different type of spread instead of Biscoff spread?

Yes, you could try using caramel spread or another cookie butter spread, though Biscoff spread gives the cheesecake its signature flavor.

4. How do I make sure my cheesecake filling is smooth?

Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing it. This helps it blend more easily with the Biscoff spread and prevents lumps.

5. How can I make sure the cheesecake sets properly?

Refrigerating the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight, is essential for it to set properly and hold its shape when sliced.

6. Can I freeze this cheesecake?

Yes, you can freeze this cheesecake for up to 1 month. Be sure to wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in an airtight container. Thaw it in the fridge before serving.

7. Can I use a bigger baking pan?

Yes, if you use a larger pan, the cheesecake will be thinner. You may need to adjust the baking and chilling time accordingly.

8. Can I make this cheesecake ahead of time?

Yes, this cheesecake actually gets better with time! Making it the day before you need it is a great way to allow the flavors to meld and ensure it’s perfectly set.

9. What if I don’t like peanut butter flavor?

If you’re not a fan of peanut butter, you can skip it entirely, as it’s only used in the crust. The cheesecake will still be delicious.

10. Can I make this cheesecake in a springform pan?

Yes, you can! A springform pan works well for cheesecakes because it allows you to remove the cake easily without disturbing the crust.
