Ingredients:

• Crust:
  • 2 cups Lotus Biscoff cookies, crushed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• Cheesecake Filling:
  • 2 cups cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup Lotus Biscoff cookie butter
• Topping:
  • 1/2 cup Lotus Biscoff cookie butter, melted
  • Extra Lotus Biscoff cookies, crushed (optional)

Preparation:

1. Prepare the Crust:
   • Place the Lotus Biscoff cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely ground. You can also place the cookies in a ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
   • In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed cookies and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
   • Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, creating an even layer. Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass to help pack the crumbs tightly. Refrigerate the crust while you prepare the filling.
2. Make the Cheesecake Filling:
   • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer. This step is crucial to avoid lumps in your cheesecake.
   • Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Beat until fully incorporated.
   • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. This will help give your cheesecake a light and airy texture.
   • Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
   • Add the Lotus Biscoff cookie butter to the mixture and fold it in until fully incorporated.
3. Assemble the Cheesecake:
   • Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
   • Smooth the top of the cheesecake with the spatula, ensuring it is level.
   • Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to set properly.
4. Prepare the Topping:
   • Once the cheesecake has set, melt the Lotus Biscoff cookie butter in the microwave for about 30 seconds, or until it reaches a pourable consistency.
   • Pour the melted cookie butter over the top of the cheesecake, spreading it out evenly.
   • If desired, sprinkle additional crushed Lotus Biscoff cookies on top for added texture and flavor.
5. Serve:
   • Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and place it on a serving platter.
   • Slice the cheesecake with a sharp knife, wiping the knife clean between each cut for neat slices.
   • Serve chilled and enjoy the rich, creamy, and caramelized flavors of this Lotus Biscoff Cheesecake.

Tips for the Perfect Lotus Biscoff Cheesecake:

• Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing to avoid lumps.
• Chill Time: Allow ample time for the cheesecake to chill and set properly. This ensures a firm and sliceable dessert.
• Decorate Creatively: Add a personal touch with your favorite toppings, such as whipped cream, chocolate drizzle, or fresh fruit.

This Lotus Biscoff Cheesecake is a delightful and indulgent dessert that combines the creamy texture of cheesecake with the distinctive flavor of Lotus Biscoff cookies. It’s perfect for special occasions or simply to satisfy your sweet tooth. Enjoy this decadent treat and impress your friends and family with your baking skills!
