765g(27oz)Cream Cheese, full fat (room temperature)
150g(1½cups)Icing Sugar, (powdered sugar)
375g(1jar)Biscoff Spread, (or any cookie butter)
480ml(2cups)Double Cream, (heavy cream)
1teaspoon(1teaspoon)Vanilla Extract
To Decorate
3tablespoon(3tablespoon)Biscoff Spread
Instructions
Make the Biscoff Base
Crush the Biscoff biscuits in a food processor or in a bag with a rolling pin.
Melt the butter in the microwave.
Combine the Biscoff crumbs and melted butter until well incorporated, then press into the base of the cake pan. Set aside.
Make the Cheesecake Filling
Whip the cream to stiff peaks and then set aside.
Add the cream cheese, powdered sugar, Biscoff spread and vanilla to a large mixing bowl and beat together until smooth and combined.
Scoop a dollop of whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture and stir it in to loosen up the mixture.
Gently fold the remaining cream into the cheesecake mixture until totally combined.
Pour the cheesecake batter into the cake pan, on top of the crust and smooth out.
Chill in the fridge overnight, or for at least 8 hours.
Decorate the Cheesecake
Once the cheesecake has chilled, remove it from the pan (see post above for tips on how to do this).
Melt a few tablespoons of Biscoff spread in the microwave for 15-20 seconds and put into a piping bag. Snip a small hole in the end of the bag.
Pipe a drip of Biscoff around the outside of the cheesecake, then pour the rest of the melted Biscoff on top of the cheesecake and smooth.
Whip up some more cream and pipe some swirls on top of the cheesecake.
Crumble a Biscoff cookie with your fingers and sprinkle it on top of the cream for a finishing touch.
Notes
*Note: This is a very tall cheesecake; you will need a tall (loose-bottomed) cake pan to accommodate it. If you want to make a smaller cheesecake, you can half the recipe. **It is SUPER important that you use a cream with at least 36% fat content. Heavy cream, heavy whipping cream or double cream should all be okay - but check the packaging. If you can't find a cream with a fat content of at least 36%, you'll need to add some gelatin for the cheesecake to set.
