Step-by-Step Instructions

- In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed cookies with the melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated, resembling wet sand.
- Press the cookie mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to form a solid crust. Use the back of a measuring cup for an even layer.
- In another bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy—no lumps allowed!
- Pour in the heavy cream and vanilla extract, mixing until everything is well combined and fluffy.
- Gently fold in the Biscoff spread—this is where the magic happens! Be careful not to deflate that beautiful mixture.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but overnight is even better! This allows all those flavors to meld beautifully.

Tips for Success
To make sure your Christmas Biscoff Cheesecake turns out perfectly, here are a few pro tips! First, always use cream cheese that’s at room temperature—this will help you achieve that smooth, creamy texture we all love. Also, don’t rush the chilling process; letting it sit overnight in the fridge really allows those flavors to develop beautifully. For a festive touch, consider adding a swirl of whipped cream on top or some crushed Biscoff cookies for extra crunch. You could even drizzle some caramel sauce for an added flair! Trust me, these little details make a big difference!
Variations
If you’re feeling adventurous, there are so many fun ways to switch up your Christmas Biscoff Cheesecake! For a different flavor profile, try using gingerbread cookies for the crust—talk about festive! You could also replace the Biscoff spread with Nutella for a rich chocolate twist. Want to add some crunch? Top your cheesecake with chopped nuts or a sprinkle of crushed peppermint candies for a holiday flair. If you’re in the mood for fruit, consider adding a layer of raspberry or strawberry compote on top before serving. The possibilities are endless, so get creative and make it your own!
Storage & Reheating Instructions
To keep your Christmas Biscoff Cheesecake fresh and delicious, store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It’ll stay good for about 4 to 5 days, although I have a feeling it might not last that long—it’s just too good! If you want to keep it longer, you can freeze individual slices wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and then placed in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Just thaw it overnight in the fridge before serving. No reheating needed—enjoy it straight from the fridge for that creamy, cool delight!
