With its buttery Biscoff crust and rich, velvety filling, this cheesecake is a testament to the art of turning simple ingredients into something extraordinary. Growing up, I learned that the best recipes are those that bring people together, much like Mama Lu’s pot roast that had us all gathered around her antique dining table, sharing laughs and stories. This cheesecake captures that spirit of togetherness, making it perfect for family gatherings or a quiet evening with a dear friend and a cup of coffee.

Steps to Create Your Biscoff Cheesecake

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the Biscoff cookie crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
3. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy, about 3-4 minutes. Mama Lu always said, “Patience is a baker’s best friend,” and it holds true here.
4. Add the vanilla extract and mix well. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the sour cream, Biscoff spread, and ground cinnamon until the mixture is well combined.
5. Pour the filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Place the springform pan in a large roasting pan. Fill the roasting pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the springform pan.
6. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set and slightly jiggles when the pan is gently shaken. Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour.
7. Carefully remove the cheesecake from the water bath and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, allowing the flavors to meld and the texture to set just right.

Tips for Making the Best Biscoff Cheesecake

Remember, like Mama Lu always said, “Recipes are about feel.” Here are a few tips to ensure your cheesecake is just right:

• Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before you start mixing. This helps achieve that ultra-smooth texture.
• Don’t rush the cooling process. Letting the cheesecake cool in the oven first helps prevent cracks.
• If you find yourself without a roasting pan, you can place a baking sheet with water on the rack below the cheesecake to create steam.
• For an extra touch, swirl a bit of melted Biscoff spread over the top before serving for added flair and flavor.

Serving Suggestions and Pairings

Just like Mama Lu’s kitchen, this cheesecake invites creativity and companionship. Pair it with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of crushed Biscoff cookies for added texture. Serve it alongside a hot cup of coffee or a chilled glass of dessert wine to complement the spiced notes of the cheesecake. Whether it’s for a festive family dinner or a cozy afternoon tea, this cheesecake knows how to make an entrance.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Store any leftover Biscoff Cheesecake covered in the refrigerator for up to five days. If you’re planning ahead, this cheesecake freezes beautifully. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil, and it will keep for up to two months. To serve, simply thaw overnight in the refrigerator. While it’s best enjoyed cold, you can warm individual slices for a few seconds in the microwave if you prefer a softer texture. Just like those porch swing afternoons with Mama Lu, savoring each bite slowly makes it all the more memorable.
