Ingredients:
- 300 g (10.5 oz) Lotus Biscoff Biscuits
- 120 g (4 oz) Unsalted Butter, melted
- 680 g (3 x 8 oz blocks) Full-Fat Cream Cheese, softened to room temperature
- 400 g (1 standard 14 oz can) Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 200 g (3/4 cup) Lotus Biscoff Smooth Spread, slightly melted
Instructions:
- Prepare the Tin: Lightly grease and line the bottom of a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan with a circle of parchment paper.
- Crush the Biscuits: Place the Biscoff biscuits into a food processor and blitz until they resemble fine sand. Alternatively, crush them manually using a Ziploc bag and a rolling pin.
- Melt and Combine: Melt the butter until liquid. Pour the melted butter into the crushed biscuits and mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
- Press the Crust: Tip the mixture into the prepared springform pan. Use the flat bottom of a glass or measuring cup to firmly press the crumbs into an even layer across the bottom. Place the base into the freezer while preparing the filling.
- Soften the Cheese: Ensure the cream cheese is fully at room temperature. Beat the cream cheese in a large mixing bowl on medium-high speed until it is completely smooth, lump-free, and fluffy (about 2 to 3 minutes).
- Add the Stabilizer: Pour in the entire can of sweetened condensed milk. Mix on low speed until just combined, then increase to medium-high and beat for 1 minute to introduce some air.
- Melt the Biscoff: Gently melt the Biscoff spread in a microwave (30 seconds, stirring, repeated if necessary) until pourable, ensuring it is only slightly warm, not hot.
- Incorporate Flavour: Pour the slightly warm Biscoff spread into the cream cheese mixture. Beat the filling on medium speed for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is uniform in colour and texture, scraping down the sides of the bowl.
- Assemble and Chill: Remove the pan from the freezer. Pour the Biscoff filling evenly over the chilled biscuit crust and smooth the top. Cover loosely and transfer to the refrigerator.
- Set and Serve: Chill for a minimum of 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until the cheesecake is firm. Briefly warm the sides of the pan with a warm cloth before releasing the springform. Slice cleanly and serve immediately.
