Ingredient Highlights & Notes
Using Biscoff cookies for the crust adds incredible flavor and crunch, while cookie butter blended into the filling creates a rich, silky texture. Make sure your cream cheese is fully softened for the smoothest cheesecake.
Ingredients
For the crust:
- 2 cups Biscoff cookie crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
For the filling: - 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¾ cup cookie butter spread
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1½ cups heavy whipping cream, cold
For topping (optional): - Whipped cream
- Crushed Biscoff cookies
- Extra cookie butter drizzle
Equipment & Tools
- 9-inch springform pan
- Food processor or rolling pin
- Mixing bowls
- Electric hand mixer or stand mixer
- Spatula
Instructions & Method
In a bowl, mix Biscoff cookie crumbs with melted butter until evenly combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased springform pan. Place in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the cookie butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cookie butter mixture until smooth and fluffy. Spread the filling evenly over the chilled crust and smooth the top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight until fully set. Before serving, garnish with whipped cream, crushed cookies, or a drizzle of cookie butter if desired.
Tips, Variations & Substitutions
For extra flavor, add a pinch of salt to the filling to balance the sweetness. You can swap Biscoff cookies with graham crackers if needed, but the cookie butter flavor pairs best with Biscoff. For clean slices, wipe the knife between cuts.
