Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 200g Biscoff Cookies, finely ground
- 90g Butter, melted
Cheesecake Filling
- 680g Cream Cheese, softened
- 150g Sugar
- 120g Sour Cream
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 3 Large Eggs, room temperature
Topping
- Salted Caramel Sauce, generous amount for drizzling
- Crushed Biscoff Cookies, for garnish
- Sea Salt Flakes, optional, for finishing touch
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Crush Biscoff cookies into fine crumbs and combine them with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the base of a springform pan to form an even crust. Chill in the fridge while preparing the filling to allow it to set.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: Beat softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and fluffy. Gradually add sour cream, vanilla extract, and eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each addition to maintain a creamy texture and prevent overbeating.
- Bake the Cheesecake: Pour the filling over the chilled crust and smooth the surface with a spatula. Bake at 150°C (300°F) using a water bath method or on the middle rack until the center is just set but still slightly jiggly, ensuring a creamy texture when cooled.
- Cool and Chill: Allow the cheesecake to cool completely at room temperature before transferring to the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight. This chilling step helps develop flavor and firm up the texture.
- Add Salted Caramel and Garnish: Before serving, drizzle a generous layer of salted caramel sauce on top. Optionally, sprinkle crushed Biscoff crumbs and sea salt flakes to enhance texture and flavor contrast.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients, especially cream cheese and eggs, to ensure a lump-free batter.
- Baking in a water bath helps prevent cracks for a smooth cheesecake surface.
- Do not overbake; a slight jiggle in the center is ideal for a creamy texture.
- Chill thoroughly to allow flavors to meld and the cheesecake to set perfectly before slicing.
- Choose high-quality Biscoff cookies for authentic spiced flavor and signature crunch.
