Instructions

This is an overview of the recipe. The full instructions are below in the recipe card.

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F/177°C. Then line a 9"x13" baking pan with parchment paper and set aside. Allow some of the parchment paper to hang over the sides for easier removal when the cheesecake is finished.

Crust

1. Using a food processor or blender, pulse the Biscoff cookies until the cookies become fine crumbs.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the crumbs and melted butter and mix until evenly coated.
3. Add the cookie crumbs to the pan and press down firmly to form a crust. Use the back of a measuring cup or glass to help make it even
4. Bake in the preheated 350°F oven for 10 minutes. The crust will be slightly golden.
5. When done baking, remove it from the oven and set it on a wire rack. Don't shut the oven off. Leave it on for the cheesecake.

Filling

1. Using a handheld mixer with beaters attached or stand mixer with paddle attachment, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar on medium speed until smooth. The mixture should be creamy and have no more lumps.
2. Add the cookie butter, sour cream, and vanilla extract to the mixture and beat until well incorporated. Use a rubber spatula to scrape any cream cheese off the sides or bottom of the bowl.
3. Then add the eggs in one at a time, just until each egg is incorporated. Do not overmix.
4. Pour the cheesecake filling onto the crust and spread evenly on top.
5. Bake for about 35 minutes, or until lightly browned. The center may still be a little soft but it should look set and should not be a wet batter.
6. Place the pan on a wire rack to cool for at least one hour on the counter. Once the pan is cool to the touch, transfer it to the refrigerator and chill for 4 hours.
7. Once the pan is cool to the touch, transfer it to the refrigerator and chill for 4 hours.

Topping

1. In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave the cookie butter for 30 seconds then mix it with a spoon. If it is still not melted, microwave it for 15 seconds and mix it again until it is creamy and smooth.
2. Pour the melted cookie butter onto the chilled cheesecake and spread evenly on top.
3. Then place back in the refrigerator to chill for about 30 minutes until the topping has firmed up and set.
4. Do not top with crumbled cookies until ready to serve.
5. Once the topping is firm, you can remove the cheesecake from the pan and top it with crumbled Biscoff cookies and drizzle white chocolate.
6. Cut into squares. Serve and enjoy!

How to store, reheat, and freeze

Storing:  The Biscoff cheesecake is best stored in a covered airtight container in the refrigerator. It will last for up to one week.

Freezing: You can freeze this cheesecake for up to three months. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then place it in a freezer-safe bag. When ready to eat, thaw the cheesecake overnight in the refrigerator.

Expert Tips

Expert Tip: It's super important that you make sure that your ingredients are at room temperature. To get a smooth cheesecake layer, you need fully softened cream cheese.

• It’s best to top with the crumbled cookies right before serving. That way it retains its crispness.
• You should be able to find Biscoff in most major retailers (Safeway, Albertson’s, Smith’s, Walmart, etc.) next to the peanut butter. If you can’t find it in stores, you can order it online or go with another brand. Trader Joe’s carries Speculoos Cookie Butter and Walmart also carries their brand Great Value Speculoos Cookie Butter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Variations

Do you want to change up this cookie butter cheesecake recipe? Here are some ways that you increase the flavor of this dish.

• Add a layer of chocolate:  You can add a layer of melted chocolate on top of the crust or mix it into the filling.
• Use different flavored cookie butter: If you can't find Biscoff, you can use another type of butter such as peanut butter, almond butter, or cashew butter.
• Add spices:  Try adding some spices to the filling such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger.
• Use different cookies for the topping:  You can use any type of cookie that you like. Try graham crackers, Oreos, or even gingersnaps.
• You can also use the round cream-filled Biscoff cookies for the crust. Two 5.29 oz packages (30 cookies total) make a slightly thinner crust.
• The Biscoff cookies are already pretty sweet so I didn’t overdo the sugar in the filling. If you like your cheesecakes extra sweet then add another ¼-½ cup granulated sugar.
