Indulgent Biscoff Baked Cheesecake: A Decadent Delight

Welcome, Cheesecake Lovers!

Today, I’m thrilled to share with you a recipe that’s bound to become a favorite in your dessert repertoire: Biscoff Baked Cheesecake. This luxurious dessert combines the irresistible flavor of Biscoff cookies with the creamy, dreamy texture of a classic baked cheesecake. It’s perfect for any special occasion or simply when you want to treat yourself to something truly indulgent.

Why Biscoff?

Biscoff cookies have a unique caramelized flavor with a hint of spice, making them a fantastic base for this cheesecake. When combined with a creamy cheesecake filling and a rich layer of Biscoff spread, the result is a dessert that’s both sophisticated and incredibly satisfying.

A Step-by-Step Guide

1. The Perfect Crust:
The journey begins with a buttery, crumbly graham cracker crust. It’s quick and easy to prepare, providing a firm foundation for our cheesecake.

2. The Creamiest Filling:
Our filling is a blend of cream cheese, sugar, sour cream, and, of course, Biscoff spread. The key to a smooth filling is to ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before you begin.

3. Baking to Perfection:
Baking the cheesecake in a water bath ensures it stays moist and crack-free. The gentle heat helps achieve that perfect, velvety texture we all love.

4. Finishing Touches:
After chilling, we top our cheesecake with a layer of melted Biscoff spread and a sprinkle of crushed cookies. This not only adds visual appeal but also enhances the flavor and texture.

Tips for Success

• Room Temperature Ingredients: This helps everything mix together smoothly, preventing lumps.
• Water Bath: Essential for an even bake and preventing cracks.
• Chill Time: Be patient! Allowing the cheesecake to chill completely ensures it sets properly and is easier to slice.

Serving Suggestions

This Biscoff Baked Cheesecake is delightful on its own, but you can elevate it further with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce. Serve it with a hot cup of coffee or tea for the perfect end to any meal.

Ingredients:

• Crust:
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs, finely crushed
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• Cheesecake Filling:
  • 3 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup Biscoff spread (cookie butter)
• Topping:
  • 1/2 cup Biscoff spread, melted
  • Biscoff cookies, crushed for garnish
  • cool whip

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crust:
   • Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
   • In a medium bowl, combine the finely crushed Biscoff cookies and melted butter.
   • Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
   • Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool while you prepare the filling.
2. Make the Cheesecake Filling:
   • In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy.
   • Add the sour cream and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
   • Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition just until combined.
   • Add the Biscoff spread and mix until smooth and fully incorporated.
3. Bake the Cheesecake:
   • Pour the filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan.
   • Place the springform pan in a larger baking pan and fill the larger pan with hot water halfway up the sides of the springform pan (this creates a water bath that helps prevent cracks).
   • Bake for 60-70 minutes or until the center is set and only slightly jiggly.
   • Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour with the door slightly open.
   • Remove the cheesecake from the oven and the water bath, and let it cool completely at room temperature.
   • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
4. Add the Topping:
   • Once the cheesecake is fully chilled, spread the melted Biscoff spread over the top.
   • Garnish with crushed Biscoff cookies around the edges.
5. Serve:
   • Run a knife around the edge of the cheesecake to loosen it from the pan, then remove the sides of the springform pan.
   • Slice and enjoy!
