Ingredients Needed and How to Make It
Ingredients Needed

- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (make sure it’s nice and melted so it’s easy to mix in)

How to Make This Recipe?
Step 1: Crust Creation
Grab a bowl and toss in those crushed Biscoff cookies. Combine with the melted butter until it resembles wet sand. Press that glorious mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan. This is going to be the cozy foundation for your cheesecake masterpiece.
Step 2: Whip It Good!
In a separate bowl, pour in your heavy whipping cream and whip it until soft peaks form. You want it to be fluffy but not too stiff. So, channel your inner rock star and keep that mixer going until it’s just right!
Step 3: Cream Cheese Bliss
In another bowl, combine your softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and Biscoff cookie spread. Mix it until everything is smooth and creamy. This mixture will be the luscious, dreamy layer that makes this cheesecake so special.
Step 4: Fold in the Magic
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Take your time here, so you don’t deflate that fabulous fluffiness. We want all the airy goodness to stay intact.
Step 5: Pour and Smooth
Pour your cheesecake filling over that beautiful crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Take a moment to admire your work—because it’s about to get even better!
Step 6: Chill Out
Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and pop it in the fridge for at least 4 hours or until it’s set. This step is crucial—trust me, it’s worth the wait!
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy!
When you’re ready to dig in, slice that cheesecake and serve cold. Watch as everyone at the table reaches for seconds (or thirds), trying to figure out how you pulled off such a delicious treat.
