Hey there, fellow dessert enthusiasts! Today, I'm going to share a tantalizing recipe that will make your taste buds dance with joy. We're diving into the wonderful world of cheesecakes, but not just any cheesecake. Brace yourselves for a Lotus Biscoff cheesecake that will have you reaching for seconds, thirds, and maybe even fourths!
I stumbled upon this delightful recipe on TikTok, courtesy of the talented @kookmutsjes. If you want to follow along with the video. Let's get started on this delectable journey!
Ingredients:
- 300g Lotus Biscoff cookies (plus a few extra for garnish)
- 125g unsalted butter, melted
- 500g cream cheese, softened
- 150g powdered sugar
- 300ml heavy cream, chilled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Lotus Biscoff spread (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions:
1. Crush the Lotus Biscoff cookies into fine crumbs. You can either use a food processor or place them in a plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Trust me, the latter method is a great way to release some pent-up stress!
2. Pour the melted butter into the cookie crumbs and mix until well combined. Press this buttery goodness into the bottom of a 9-inch (23cm) springform pan to create the crust. Pop it into the fridge to chill while we work on the filling.
3. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. You can use an electric mixer or put those arm muscles to work with a whisk. Your call!
4. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Gently fold this heavenly cloud of cream into the cream cheese mixture until everything is well incorporated.
5. Take the crust out of the fridge and pour the luscious cream cheese filling on top, spreading it evenly. Smooth out the surface with a spatula and let it chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours (or overnight, if you can resist the temptation).
6. Once the cheesecake has set and you're ready to serve, take a moment to admire your creation. It's a beauty! Crush a few Lotus Biscoff cookies and sprinkle them on top for a lovely crunchy texture.
7. If you're feeling extra indulgent, warm up some Lotus Biscoff spread and drizzle it over the cheesecake. The caramel-like flavor will take this dessert to the next level.
8. Grab a fork, dive in, and enjoy the creamy, dreamy, Lotus Biscoff goodness! Just be prepared for some serious dessert bliss.
