Decadent Biscoff Cookie Butter Cheesecake

Ingredients (Serves 8-10)For the Crust:

• 1 1/2 cups (150g) graham cracker crumbs
• 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted

• For the Cheesecake Filling:

• 24 oz (680g) cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 cup (120ml) sour cream
• 3/4 cup (180g) Biscoff cookie butter (smooth)

• For the Topping:

• 1/2 cup (120g) Biscoff cookie butter, melted
• 1/2 cup (50g) Biscoff cookies, crushed (for garnish)
• 1-2 whole Biscoff cookies (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Wrap the bottom of a 9-inch (23cm) springform pan with aluminum foil to prevent leaks.

In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined.

Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the springform pan.

Bake for 8-10 minutes, then let it cool while preparing the filling.

2. Make the Cheesecake Filling:In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar with a mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.

Add the vanilla extract, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Mix in the sour cream until fully combined.

Divide the batter in half. Mix 3/4 cup of Biscoff cookie butter into one half of the batter.

Pour the plain cheesecake batter over the cooled crust, then dollop the Biscoff batter on top. Use a knife to swirl the two batters together for a marbled effect.

Place the springform pan in a larger baking dish. Fill the dish with hot water halfway up the sides of the springform pan to create a water bath.

Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly.

Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.

3. Add the Topping:Once the cheesecake is chilled, drizzle the melted Biscoff cookie butter over the top.

Sprinkle with crushed Biscoff cookies and place 1-2 whole Biscoff cookies on top for garnish.

Serving Suggestion:Serve the cheesecake chilled, with a cup of coffee or tea for a rich and indulgent dessert experience.
