Ingredients
- 3 packs (24 oz / 675 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (250 g) Biscoff cookie butter, softened
- 2 cups (200 g) Biscoff cookie crumbs
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream
- ½ cup (120 ml) caramel sauce
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Crushed Biscoff cookies, for garnish
Instructions
- Crust Preparation: Pulverize Biscoff cookies into fine, uniform crumbs using a food processor, then blend thoroughly with melted butter to create a cohesive, sandy mixture.
- Crust Forming: Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into a springform pan, creating a compact base. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 8-10 minutes until lightly set, then cool completely.
- Cheesecake Batter: Whip cream cheese until ultra-smooth, gradually incorporating sugar to achieve a silky texture. Gently fold in sour cream and vanilla extract, maintaining the mixture’s lightness.
- Egg Integration: Delicately introduce eggs one at a time, minimizing mixing to prevent potential surface cracking during baking.
- Cookie Butter Swirl: Infuse the batter with cookie butter, creating elegant marbled patterns by gently swirling the mixture.
- Baking Process: Pour the batter over the cooled crust, ensuring even distribution. Bake for 45-50 minutes, watching for a subtle center wobble indicating perfect doneness.
- Cooling Technique: Turn off the oven, slightly open the door, and allow the cheesecake to rest for an hour to prevent surface cracking and promote smooth settling.
- Chilling and Finishing: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely. Before serving, embellish with a caramel sauce drizzle and crushed Biscoff cookie garnish for textural contrast.
Notes
Prevent Crust Crumbling: Mix cookie crumbs and butter thoroughly to ensure a compact, sturdy base that holds together when sliced.
Control Mixing Technique: Blend cheesecake batter gently and minimally to avoid incorporating excess air, which can cause surface cracks during baking.
Manage Oven Temperature: Use a consistent, moderate temperature and allow gradual cooling to prevent sudden temperature changes that lead to cheesecake surface splitting.
Enhance Flavor Depth: Experiment with additional cookie butter swirls or caramel layers to intensify the dessert’s rich, indulgent profile and create complex taste dimensions.
