Step-by-Step Recipe: How to Make Biscoff Salted Caramel Cheesecake

This section guides you through every step to make the perfect cheesecake at home.

Step 1: Prepare the Biscoff Cookie Crust

1. 1. Place Biscoff cookies in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. If you don’t have a processor, place cookies in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin.

1. 1. Pour cookie crumbs into a bowl and add melted butter. Mix until crumbs are fully coated and stick together when pressed.

1. 1. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a greased springform pan. Press firmly to create a solid base.

1. 1. Chill the crust in the fridge while preparing the filling. This ensures a firm base that holds the cheesecake together.

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling

1. 1. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and free of lumps.

1. 1. Gradually add sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.

1. 1. Add Biscoff cookie butter and mix until the filling is uniform and creamy.

1. 1. Stir in sour cream or heavy cream for a velvety texture.

1. 1. Mix until fluffy but do not overbeat to avoid air bubbles.

Step 3: Assemble the Cheesecake

• • Pour the prepared filling over the chilled Biscoff crust.

• • Smooth the top with a spatula so it’s even.

• • Optional: Tap the pan lightly on the counter to remove air bubbles.

Step 4: Baking the Cheesecake (Baked Version)

1. 1. Preheat the oven to 160°C / 325°F.

1. 1. Bake the cheesecake for 50–60 minutes until the edges are set but the center jiggles slightly.

1. 1. Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 15 minutes. This prevents cracks.

1. 1. Remove from the oven and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Step 5: Make the Salted Caramel Topping

1. 1. In a medium saucepan, heat sugar over medium heat without stirring.

1. 1. Once it melts and turns a deep amber color, carefully add butter. Stir continuously until fully incorporated.

1. 1. Slowly pour in heavy cream while whisking constantly.

1. 1. Stir in sea salt and let caramel cool slightly.

1. 1. Pour caramel over the chilled cheesecake, letting it drizzle down the sides.

Step 6: No-Bake Version (Alternative)

1. 1. Press the prepared crust into the springform pan and chill for 30 minutes.

1. 1. Beat cream cheese, sugar, Biscoff spread, and whipped cream until smooth and fluffy.

1. 1. Pour filling over the crust and smooth the top.

1. 1. Chill at least 6 hours or overnight until fully set.

1. 1. Drizzle with caramel and garnish with crushed Biscoff cookies before serving.
