Ingredients Overview
Crushed Biscoff cookies: These form the base of the crust and bring that warm, spiced cookie flavor that makes this cheesecake stand out.
Unsalted butter: Melted butter binds the cookie crumbs together and helps the crust set firmly once chilled.
Cream cheese: This is the base of the filling and should be fully softened for a smooth, lump-free texture.
Granulated sugar: Adds sweetness and balances the tangy cream cheese.
Biscoff spread: The star ingredient that gives the filling its signature cookie butter flavor.
Vanilla extract: Adds warmth and rounds out the sweetness of the filling.
Heavy cream: Whipped and folded into the filling to keep the cheesecake light and creamy.
Dark chocolate chips: Melted and folded in for an optional chocolate twist that adds richness.
Heavy cream for topping: Used to create a smooth, pourable Biscoff topping.
Biscoff spread for topping: Adds a glossy finish and extra cookie butter flavor on top.
Crushed Biscoff cookies and chocolate shavings: Used as garnish for texture and visual appeal.
