A luxurious cheesecake with double cookie layers and silky Biscoff-infused filling
What You’ll Need
Cookie Foundation
- 30 Biscoff cookies (about 2 sleeves)
- 6 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Creamy Filling
- 3 blocks (24 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 2/3 cup confectioner’s sugar
- 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons Biscoff spread
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/3 cups heavy whipping cream, chilled
Step-by-Step Method
Building the Base
Pulse cookies in a food processor until finely ground. Combine crumbs with melted butter and salt until mixture clumps when squeezed. Reserve 1/3 of this mixture in a small bowl. Press remaining crumbs into bottom and 2 inches up sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Refrigerate while preparing filling.
Creating the Filling
Beat softened cream cheese and sugar until perfectly smooth, about 3 minutes. Blend in 1/2 cup Biscoff spread and vanilla until uniform.
With mixer on lowest setting, pour chilled cream in a thin, steady stream – this prevents curdling. Once incorporated, increase speed to high and whip until mixture holds peaks and leaves ribbons when beaters are lifted, roughly 2-3 minutes.
Assembly Magic
Spread half the filling over chilled crust. Sprinkle reserved cookie crumbs evenly across surface. Carefully spread remaining filling on top, smoothing without disturbing the cookie layer beneath.
The Waiting Game
Cover and chill minimum 6 hours, preferably overnight. The cheesecake needs this time to achieve the perfect sliceable consistency.
Final Flourish
Before serving, gently warm remaining 2 tablespoons Biscoff spread until pourable. Remove springform sides, drizzle warm spread over cheesecake, and dust with extra cookie crumbs if desired.
Pro Secrets
Temperature Control: Room temperature cream cheese whips smoothly, while cold cream creates the perfect texture contrast
Streaming Technique: Adding cream too quickly creates a grainy, separated filling – patience pays off
Texture Test: Properly whipped filling should hold its shape when dropped from a spoon
Crust Confidence: Pack firmly for clean cuts and structural integrity
Make-Ahead Marvel: This dessert actually improves with time – make it 1-2 days ahead for best results
