Biscoff Lotus Cheesecake (Print version)

A creamy no-bake Biscoff Lotus Cheesecake with a cookie crust, cookie butter filling, and glossy Biscoff topping.

# Ingredients:

For the crust

01 - 9 oz (250 g) Lotus Biscoff cookies
02 - 6 tablespoons (85 g) unsalted butter, melted
03 - Pinch of fine salt

For the filling

04 - 24 oz (680 g) full-fat brick cream cheese, softened
05 - 1 cup (250 g) smooth Biscoff spread
06 - 3/4 cup (90 g) powdered sugar, sifted
07 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
08 - 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
09 - 1 1/4 cups (300 ml) cold heavy cream

For the topping

10 - 1/2 cup (125 g) smooth Biscoff spread
11 - 4-6 Lotus Biscoff cookies, crushed or halved for garnish

# Instructions:

01 - Line the base of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper. Lightly grease the sides or line them with acetate if you want very clean edges.
02 - Pulse the Biscoff cookies into fine crumbs. Stir with melted butter and a pinch of salt, then press firmly into the pan. Chill for 15 minutes.
03 - Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add Biscoff spread, powdered sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice, then beat until creamy and evenly mixed.
04 - Add the cold heavy cream and beat on medium speed until the filling thickens and holds soft peaks. Scrape the bowl once or twice so the mixture is even.
05 - Spoon the filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
06 - Warm the Biscoff spread in 10-second bursts until just pourable. Spread it over the cold cheesecake, chill for 20 minutes, then garnish with cookies before slicing.

# Good to know:

01 - Chill for at least 6 hours, but overnight gives the cleanest slices.
02 - Best served cold and cut with a hot, wiped knife.
03 - Add whole cookie garnish shortly before serving so it stays crisp.
