The recipe-
Ingredients–
For the crust:
● Lotus Biscoff cookies-250g
● Butter, melted -6 tbsp
For the filling:
● Cream cheese-2½ cups (565g)
● Lotus biscoff cookie butter-200g (7oz)
● Heavy cream, cold-1 cup (240ml)
● Powdered sugar-2/3 cup (85g)
○ Vanilla extract-1 teaspoon
○ About 14g of Gelatin powder +70ml of water
For the topping:
● Lotus biscoff cookie butter-200g (7oz)
● Crushed cookies-3-4
Directions–
● Crush the lotus biscuits finely in a food processor or a ziploc bag. Add in the
melted butter until it is all mixed. In a 9-inch (23-cm) spring form pan, pour the
mixture and press it to the very bottom. After you are done with the base, keep it
in the refrigerator.
● To make the filling, combine gelatin powder and water in a small container. Allow
it to sit for 10 minutes and wait for the gelatin powder to fluff up.
● Then you need to mix together cream cheese, vanilla extract, and cookie butter in a large mixing bowl until the mixture is soft and smooth. In a second dish, whisk together heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff bubbles start to form.
Add the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture gradually.
● Microwave it for 15 seconds to melt the gelatin. Stir in a few teaspoons of the cheesecake mixture at a time until it is completely dissolved. Come back to the cheesecake mixture and stir it until everything has been mixed evenly.
● Pour the mixture into the spring form pan and place in the freezer for 30 minutes.
● In the meantime, make the topping by melting biscoff cookie butter in a heatproof bowl, in the microwave until the butter has completely melted. Pour the liquid over the cheesecake batter while it is still in a semi- solid state.
● Keep the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours.
● Release the cake from the pan and sprinkle smashed cookies around the edges
as a finishing touch.
Which Heavy Cream Should You Use?
Both heavy whipped cream and double cream both can be used.
Substitute of Biscoff Cookie Butter
To be honest, this is a biscoff cheesecake, thus biscoff cookie butter is required for that authentic flavor. However, certain retailers and brands produce their own cookie butter, which you can use as suitable substitute butter.
