Ingredients

As I mentioned above, the ingredients to make this Biscoff cheesecake are pretty easy to find at the store - including the Lotus brand ingredients. Honestly, it's crazy to think that such simple ingredients can create such an exquisite dessert.

Anyway, let's dive into the ingredients you'll need to make this Lotus Biscoff cheesecake.

For the cookie crust, you need:

• 3 cups crushed Biscoff cookies
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

For the cheesecake filling, you need:

• 16 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup heavy cream
• ½ cup Biscoff cookie butter
• ⅓ cup sour cream
• 1 tsp. salt
• 2 eggs
• 1 tbsp. all-purpose flour

And for the frosting to finish it off, you need:

• ½ cup Butter, at room temperature
• ½ cup Cream cheese
• ½ cup Biscoff cookie butter
• ¼ cup Sugar

I know this sounds like a lot, but keep in mind this is the best cheesecake you'll make from scratch. Trust me, it's worth picking up every single ingredient if you don't have it already.

Of course, I suggest using the Lotus brand for the Biscoff cookies and cookie butter. It has the best caramel flavor mixed with toasty spices and truly makes this a Lotus Biscoff cheesecake. Also, the Biscoff cookies are also delicious dipped in this s'mores dip.

But, if you can't find the Lotus brand, any kind of speculoos cookies and cookie butter is a fine substitute.

Ok, now before you and your guests can indulge in this delicious dessert, you have to make it. So, let's jump into the baking process!

How To Make Biscoff Cheesecake

Ok, so as I mentioned this Lotus Biscoff cheesecake recipe takes around 25-30 minutes to prepare, but it has a long cooking time.

The good thing is you have time to clean and make the frosting while the cheesecake bakes. And the process is well worth the Biscoff flavor this cheesecake has and the large 8 servings that it makes! 

Now, let's not waste any more time and make this Biscoff cookies cheesecake!

Step 1: Prep Work

First, preheat the oven to 350ºF (180°C).  

Next, cut out a circle of parchment paper that is slightly larger than the diameter of the base of your 9-inch springform pan and line the pan with the parchment paper. 

Step 2: Preparing the Crust

Now you're going to make the Biscoff biscuits crust.

First, you're going to crush the Biscoff cookies. To do this, you can either put them in a food processor or crush them manually.

If you don't have a food processor, start by putting the Biscoff biscuits in a big Ziploc bag. Then, with a rolling pin, gently hit/roll the cookies until they break into fine cookie crumbs.

Next, transfer the Biscoff cookie crumbs to a medium bowl, add the melted butter, and combine until the cookie crumbs start sticking together. After that, transfer the mixture to the bottom of the pan and press it down to create a solid cookie crust.

Step 4: Baking the Cookie Crust

In the preheated oven, bake the crust for 10 minutes or until it starts getting a slightly darker brown color.

Then, take the baked crust out from the oven and set it on a cooling rack on your countertop. You want the crust to cool down before adding the filling.

Now, keep the oven on at 350°F for the next steps.

Step 5: Preparing the Cheesecake Filling

Now, onto preparing the creamy cheesecake filling with Biscoff cookie butter.

If you have a stand mixer I suggest using it for mixing the filling. But if you don't, a hand mixer works well too.

So add the room temperature cream cheese to a large bowl and mix it on its own until it looks creamy with a slightly fluffier consistency.

Then, add the granulated sugar, heavy cream, cookie butter, sour cream, and salt and mix at medium speed until combined and creamy.

Step 6: Finishing the Filling

Next, crack both room temperature eggs into the cheesecake filling mixture then mix until just combined. The mixing should take about 10-15 seconds.

Lastly, add the flour and mix until well combined and you have a smooth filling.

Step 7: Adding the Mixture

Once the crust cools off, add the creamy cheesecake filling on top of it. Then spread out the filling evenly over the crust with a rubber spatula.

Make sure the spring pan is at room temperature or just slightly warm. If it's too hot, the heat could start cooking the cheesecake filling and ruin its outcome.

Step 8: Preparing To Bake The Cheesecake

Ok, here's the most important step, baking the perfect cheesecake.

Fill an oven-safe tray with hot water so it covers 2 inches of the cheesecake pan. If you're using a 9-inch springform pan, cover the outside of the cheesecake pan with aluminum foil then place the springform pan directly on top of the tray with water. 

You can also put a tray filled with hot water on the oven rack beneath the rack with the cheesecake. The oven makes the water even hotter so it creates vapor inside the oven.

Both of these options help with the cheesecake's moisture, so whichever method you choose is great.

Step 9: Baking the Cheesecake

Bake the cheesecake at 350°F for 45 minutes. After 45 minutes, turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 1 hour. 

Even though it's tempting, do not disturb the cheesecake by opening the oven. And this is super important becaise if you take the cheesecake out of the oven too soon it will deflate.

Finally, after 1 hour, you can take it out of the oven and let it cool off on the countertop.

Step 10: Preparing the Frosting  

While the cheesecake is baking, you can prepare the frosting by adding the cream cheese to a mixing bowl and mixing it until it's creamy and smooth.

Then, add the butter, Biscoff cookie butter, and sugar and mix until it is creamy and has a fluffy consistency.

Step 11: Decorating

Once the Biscoff cheesecake is cooled and ready to be frosted, add the frosting to a piping bag and decorate it. If you don't have a piping bag, you can add the frosting to a Ziploc bag and cut one of the corners. 

I like to decorate the cheesecake with dollops on top. However, you can also just spread the frosting on the top of the cake and use a rubber spatula - or butter knife - to make an even coating on top. 

After that, you can slice this delicious cheesecake into 8 generous slices, serve, and enjoy!

How to Store Biscoff Cheesecake

So, as you know, this recipe will make about 8 slices of cheesecake, but it can change depending on how you cut them.

With that said, if you have some Biscoff cheesecake left, you can store it in the fridge in an airtight container.

Then, before eating it again, take it out of the airtight container, place it on a serving plate, and leave it on the countertop for 10 minutes to de-chill a bit.

However, if you like chilled cheesecake, you can serve it immediately. The chilled cheesecake will give you more of a Cheesecake Factory experience.
