Ingredients in Biscoff Caramel Cookie Butter Cheesecake

Here’s the magic lineup of ingredients that come together to make this dreamy dessert happen:

Biscoff Cookies: These spiced, caramelized cookies are the foundation of our crust. When crushed and mixed with butter, they form the perfect crunchy, flavorful base.

Butter: Melted and mixed with the crushed cookies to hold that delicious crust together. Rich, golden, and absolutely essential.

Cream Cheese: The heart of any cheesecake. It brings that signature tangy richness and creamy texture we all know and love.

Sugar: Adds just the right amount of sweetness to balance the creaminess of the filling.

Eggs: Help bind the filling and give the cheesecake that smooth, luscious structure.

Cookie Butter (Biscoff Spread): The real star here! It gets swirled into the cheesecake batter for a boost of flavor and those beautiful golden ripples.

Heavy Cream or Sour Cream: Adds extra silkiness and helps mellow out the sweetness. It’s all about balance.

Vanilla Extract: A touch of warm, comforting flavor that ties everything together.

Salt: Just a pinch to enhance and deepen all the other flavors.

Caramel Sauce: For drizzling, swirling, and just generally making the whole thing feel extra special.

Crumbled Biscoff Cookies (for topping): A final flourish of crunch and flavor to finish off this masterpiece.

Instructions

Let’s dive into the steps to create this show-stopping cheesecake:

Preheat Your Equipment

Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (163°C). You’ll also want to prep a springform pan with parchment paper and lightly grease the sides. If you’re using a water bath (optional but recommended), go ahead and set that up too.

Combine Ingredients

In a bowl, mix the crushed Biscoff cookies with melted butter until the texture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the base of your pan, and slightly up the sides for that beautiful crust.

In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined. Stir in the vanilla, salt, and cream or sour cream, followed by the glorious cookie butter. Swirl gently if you want those beautiful streaks.

Prepare Your Cooking Vessel

Wrap the outside of your springform pan with aluminum foil (to prevent leaks if using a water bath). Place the pan in a larger roasting pan if using the water bath method—this helps the cheesecake bake gently and evenly.

Assemble the Dish

Pour the cheesecake filling over your prepared crust. Smooth the top, then spoon extra cookie butter or caramel on top and swirl it with a knife or skewer for a gorgeous marbled effect.

Cook to Perfection

Bake for about 50–60 minutes or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake sit for another hour. This helps prevent cracks and allows everything to settle beautifully.

Finishing Touches

Let your cheesecake cool completely before refrigerating for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Before serving, drizzle with caramel sauce and sprinkle with crushed Biscoff cookies for that irresistible finishing touch.

Serve and Enjoy

Slice, serve, and savor! Every creamy, caramel-kissed bite is pure bliss. This cheesecake doesn’t need anything else—but a cup of coffee or a little whipped cream wouldn’t hurt either.

How to Serve Biscoff Caramel Cookie Butter Cheesecake

This cheesecake is the star of any table, but if you want to take it even further, here are some ideas:

With Fresh Berries: The tartness of raspberries or strawberries adds a lovely contrast to the sweet, creamy cheesecake.

Espresso or Coffee: A rich, bitter brew pairs beautifully with the spiced, buttery sweetness.

Whipped Cream: A cloud of lightly sweetened whipped cream gives it a light, airy contrast.

As a Mini Cheesecake: Pour the batter into cupcake liners for individual servings—perfect for parties or gifting!

Dressed Up with Chocolate: Drizzle with dark chocolate for a twist on the classic flavor combo.

Additional Tips

• Prep Ahead: Make the cheesecake a day in advance and let it chill overnight. The flavors deepen beautifully with time.
• No Water Bath? No Problem!: Bake low and slow, and let the cheesecake cool gradually in the oven to prevent cracking.
• Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your cream cheese and eggs are room temp for the smoothest filling.
• Storage Tips: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. It tastes even better the next day!
• Freezer-Friendly: Wrap individual slices tightly and freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw in the fridge before serving.
