Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 16 ounces (453.6 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) cookie butter (Biscoff spread)
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) brown sugar
Crust Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups (180 grams) Biscoff cookie crumbs (or graham crackers)
- 1/4 cup (57 grams) melted butter
Additional Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs (for baked version)
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) caramel sauce
- Whipped cream
- Extra Biscoff crumbs
Instructions
- Craft a delectable foundation by pulverizing cookies into fine crumbs and blending with melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into a springform pan, creating an even layer. Refrigerate for 15 minutes or bake at 350°F for 8 minutes to enhance structural integrity.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, whip cream cheese until velvety smooth. Incorporate cookie butter and brown sugar, beating until perfectly integrated. Gently fold in heavy cream and vanilla extract, ensuring a luxurious consistency.
- For a baked rendition, introduce eggs individually, mixing on low speed after each addition to maintain a silky texture. Prevent overmixing to preserve the cheesecake’s delicate structure.
- Transfer the prepared filling into the chilled crust. Bake at 325°F for 40-45 minutes, watching for a subtle jiggle in the center which indicates perfect doneness. Allow the cheesecake to cool completely at room temperature.
- Refrigerate the cooled cheesecake for minimum 4 hours, preferably overnight, to achieve optimal setting and flavor development.
- Before serving, generously drizzle caramel sauce across the surface. Garnish with dollops of whipped cream and sprinkle reserved cookie crumbs for a decadent finishing touch.
- Slice with a warm knife and indulge in this sumptuous dessert experience.
Notes
- Swap cookie crumbs with graham crackers or gluten-free alternatives for dietary needs, ensuring a versatile base.
- Allow cream cheese to reach room temperature before mixing to achieve a smoother, lump-free filling.
- Use a water bath when baking to prevent cracks and create a silky, even texture in the cheesecake.
- Prepare the cheesecake a day in advance, as it tastes better after flavors have melded and fully chilled.
