Biscoff Cheesecake Ingredients

For the Crust

Biscoff Cookies – These create a flavorful crust, but you can substitute with graham crackers for a different twist.
Unsalted Butter – This binds the crust together; clarified butter or coconut oil is a great alternative for a dairy-free option.

For the Cheesecake Filling

Cream Cheese – Provides the creamy base; ensure it’s softened for easy mixing and go for full-fat for a rich texture.
Granulated Sugar – This sweetens the cheesecake; powdered sugar can be used for a smoother texture, though it might alter firmness.
Greek Yogurt – Adds creaminess and tang; you can swap it for sour cream if desired.
Vanilla Extract – Enhances the flavor beautifully; using vanilla bean paste will give it an even richer taste.
Ground Cinnamon – Boosts the flavor profile with warmth and spice; feel free to skip if you prefer a milder taste.
Large Eggs – Essential for structure and stability; make sure they’re at room temperature for better integration into the batter.

For the Topping

Biscoff Spread – A decadent finishing touch that adds richness to your Biscoff cheesecake; consider chocolate ganache for a delightful twist.
Biscoff Cookies for Garnish – These offer a lovely crunch and decoration; they’re optional but highly recommended for presentation.

Now that you have all the delicious ingredients, you’re one step closer to baking this irresistible Biscoff cheesecake!

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Biscoff Cheesecake

Step 1: Prepare the Crust
Begin by lining a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl, crush about 24 Biscoff cookies into fine crumbs and combine them with 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter until well mixed. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Chill the crust in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to set while you prepare the cheesecake filling.

Step 2: Make the Filling
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a large mixing bowl, beat 16 ounces of softened cream cheese with 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Blend until the mixture is creamy and smooth, ensuring to scrape the sides of the bowl as you go. Add 3 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to achieve a uniform texture.

Step 3: Assemble and Bake
Pour the smooth cheesecake batter over the chilled Biscoff cookie crust, spreading it evenly. To prevent cracking, place the springform pan inside a larger pan filled with hot water, creating a water bath. Bake in the preheated oven for 65-70 minutes, keeping an eye out for the edges to be set while the center remains slightly jiggly.

Step 4: Cool Down
Once baked, remove the cheesecake from the oven and the water bath. Allow it to cool to room temperature on a wire rack for about 1 hour, then cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours—or ideally overnight—to let the flavors meld and the cheesecake set completely.

Step 5: Add the Finishing Touch
Once chilled, carefully release the cheesecake from the springform pan. Gently warm 1/2 cup of Biscoff spread in the microwave for about 15 seconds until it’s pourable. Drizzle this luscious spread over the top of the cheesecake, letting it cascade down the sides. For a delightful finishing touch, crumble extra Biscoff cookies on top for garnish before serving.

How to Store and Freeze Biscoff Cheesecake

Fridge: Store your Biscoff cheesecake in an airtight container for up to 5 days. This will help maintain its creamy texture and rich flavor.

Freezer: For longer storage, your cheesecake can be frozen for up to 2 months. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn.

Thawing: To enjoy frozen cheesecake, place it in the fridge for about 6-8 hours to thaw slowly. This keeps the texture smooth and delicious.

Reheating: If you’d like to serve it warm, gently heat individual slices in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds—just enough to make the Biscoff spread topping ooey-gooey!

Make Ahead Options

These Biscoff Cheesecakes are perfect for busy home cooks looking to simplify dessert prep! You can make the crust and filling up to 24 hours in advance, storing each component separately in the refrigerator to maintain freshness. Just prepare the crust and let it chill in the pan, while the cheesecake filling can be blended and kept in an airtight container. When you’re ready to bake, simply pour the filling over the chilled crust and bake as instructed. For optimal flavor, allow the cheesecake to cool and then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before finishing with the Biscoff spread and cookie garnish just before serving. This approach not only saves time but ensures that your Biscoff Cheesecake is just as delicious as if made that day!
