Essential Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:
Biscoff Cookies: These crunchy cookies are the star of the show; use them for both crust and topping for maximum flavor.
Unsalted Butter: Melted butter binds the crust together beautifully; feel free to use alternative butters if desired.
Cream Cheese: Use full-fat cream cheese for that ultra-creamy texture; low-fat options may not yield the same results.
Sour Cream: Adds richness and tanginess; don’t skip this ingredient unless you’re going dairy-free!
Granulated Sugar: Sweetens your cheesecake perfectly; adjust according to your sweetness preference.
Vanilla Extract: Opt for pure vanilla extract over imitation for deeper flavor profiling.
Eggs: Essential for structure; let them sit at room temperature for better mixing.
Biscoff Spread: This creamy spread adds an extra layer of Biscoff goodness—it’s like frosting but better!

Let’s Make it Together
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and grab your favorite springform pan—it’s about to get real in here!
Create the Crust: Crush about 24 Biscoff cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and smashing away with a rolling pin until you achieve sand-like consistency. Combine those crumbs with melted butter until well mixed.
Form the Base: Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of your springform pan using your fingers or the bottom of a glass—make sure it’s nice and compact so every slice holds together beautifully.
Prepare Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add granulated sugar and mix until combined—no one likes lumps in their cheesecake!
Add Sour Cream and Vanilla: Gently fold in sour cream and vanilla extract into your cream cheese mixture until well incorporated—this keeps things light and airy.
Add Eggs: One at a time, add eggs while mixing gently after each addition—overmixing can lead to cracks during baking!
Mix in Biscoff Spread: Finally, swirl in that luscious Biscoff spread until just combined—this will give your cheesecake that dreamy caramel flavor we all crave.
Now pour this heavenly mixture over your crust in the pan, smoothing out any lumps with a spatula as you go.
Bake Your Cheesecake: Bake in preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes until set around edges but slightly jiggly in center—like a gentle wave! Allow it to cool completely before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight if possible (patience is key!).
When serving, feel free to top with crushed Biscoff cookies or an additional drizzle of Biscoff spread because why not?
This decadent Biscoff cheesecake is more than just dessert; it’s an invitation to indulge in life’s sweet moments. So gather your loved ones—or keep it all to yourself—and dive into this creamy dream today!
