Ingredients
For the Biscoff Cookie Crust
- See Biscoff cookie crust recipe (enough to press into an 8-inch deep tart pan)
For the Filling
- 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
- 2/3 cup brown sugar (145g)
- 1/4 cup sour cream (60g)
- 1/2 cup Biscoff cookie butter, creamy (125g)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
For Topping
- 1/2 cup Biscoff cookie butter, melted (125g)
- 1/4 cup Biscoff cookie crumbs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C) to prepare for baking the crust and filling.
- Prepare the crust: Follow the Biscoff cookie crust recipe. Press the crust firmly into the bottom and up the sides of an 8-inch deep tart pan without greasing the pan first to ensure proper adherence.
- Bake the crust: Bake the crust according to the specified recipe instructions. After baking, set it aside to cool slightly before adding the filling.
- Beat cream cheese: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese for about one minute until smooth.
- Add sugar and mix: Add the brown sugar to the cream cheese and beat for 2–3 minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Incorporate Biscoff cookie butter: Mix in 1/2 cup of creamy Biscoff cookie butter until fully combined for rich flavor.
- Add sour cream: Stir in the sour cream, mixing until the batter is smooth; scrape down the sides to ensure all ingredients are incorporated.
- Add eggs and flavorings: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed just to combine after each. When adding the second egg, also add vanilla extract and salt, mixing until smooth.
- Fill the crust: Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust and smooth the surface with a spatula.
- Bake the pie: Bake for 40–50 minutes until the edges are set but the center still slightly jiggles when moved.
- Cool gradually: Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and leave the pie inside for 20 minutes to prevent cracking and ensure even cooling.
- Chill the pie: Remove from oven and cool completely at room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight until fully set and firm.
- Add toppings and serve: Before serving, melt 1/2 cup Biscoff cookie butter and pour it over the top, then sprinkle 1/4 cup Biscoff cookie crumbs for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use an 8-inch deep tart pan for best results; non-stick is preferred but do not grease before adding the crust.
- Make sure cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature to avoid lumps in the filling.
- Chilling the pie overnight is crucial for proper texture and firmness.
- The slight jiggle in the center after baking indicates perfect doneness and ensures a creamy texture.
- For a sharper crust edge, press the crust firmly and evenly all around the pan sides.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
