- 5 tbsp butter (70 g)
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (100 g)
For the cheesecake caramel layer
- Homemade caramel (from above)
- 3 tbsp cream cheese
For the cheesecake filling
- 2 cups cream cheese, room temperature (450 g)
- 3/4 cup biscoff spread (200 g)
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar (45 g)
- 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream (200 g)
For the topping

Instructions
Prepare the crust
- Pulse the biscoff cookies in a food processor until finely ground.
- Combine the cookie crumbs with melted butter until fully incorporated.
- Press the mixture into the sides of a springform pan first, then press the remaining crumbs evenly across the bottom to form a firm, uniform crust.
- Refrigerate the crust to set while preparing the other layers.
Make the homemade caramel
- In a pan over medium heat, melt the granulated sugar while gently stirring to prevent burning.
- Once golden, remove from heat and add the butter, stirring constantly.
- Return to low heat and slowly incorporate the heavy whipping cream, stirring until smooth.
- Allow the caramel to cool slightly, then pour it through a fine mesh sieve to remove any lumps. This ensures a perfectly smooth caramel sauce for your cheesecake.
Prepare the cheesecake caramel layer
- Mix 3 tablespoons of cream cheese into the homemade caramel to lighten the flavor and help it hold structure. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine room temperature cream cheese, powdered sugar and biscoff spread using a spatula. Do not whisk.
- Whip the heavy cream to soft peaks and gently fold into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula.
Assemble the cheesecake
- Add the layer of the caramel mixture on top of the chilled cookie crust.
- Add the layer of the biscoff cheesecake filling over the caramel.
- Refrigerate the assembled cheesecake for at least 8 hours or overnight to set completely.
