Toppings

Instructions
Speculoos / Biscoff Crust
- Prepare a 24 cm / 9 inch Springform Pan by greasing it and lining both the bottom and sides with Baking Paper.
- Using a food processor (or see note 1 for making by hand), finely crush the Speculoos/Biscoff Cookies until they resemble thin crumbs.
- Add the melted Butter and pulse to combine until the mixture resembles thick wet sand.
- Transfer the crumbs into the prepared Springform pan and firmly pack them down using the back of a spoon or a cup.
- Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Speculoos / Biscoff Cheesecake Batter
- Preheat your oven to 150°C/300°F.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine Cream Cheese, Greek Yogurt, and Biscoff Spread until smooth using an electric or stand mixer.
- Add Caster Sugar and whisk until well combined.
- Gradually mix in the Eggs, one at a time, until smooth and lump-free.
Avoid over-mixing. - Pour the cheesecake batter over the chilled crust and spread it out evenly using the back of a spoon or an offset spatula.
- Bake on the lowest rack of your oven for 45 to 55 minutes until set. Then, turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for about an hour.
- Remove from the oven and let it finish cooling at room temperature before transferring it to the fridge.
Toppings
- Once the cheesecake has cooled completely (at least 1 hour in the fridge), microwave the Speculoos/Biscoff Spread for a few seconds until it’s very liquid.
- Pour the melted spread over the cheesecake and use a small offset spatula to spread it to the edges and let it drip over.
- Crush the Speculoos/Biscoff Cookies coarsely and sprinkle them around the edges of the cake.
- Store the cheesecake in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Notes:
– Using measurements in grams is recommended for accuracy and best results.
– Different brands of Speculoos/Biscoff Cookies may vary in size, so weighing them for accuracy is recommended.
– Ensure all ingredients for the cheesecake batter are at room temperature for easy mixing.
– Greek Yogurt can be substituted with Natural Yogurt or Sour Cream if needed, but Yogurt is recommended for a lighter cake texture.
