Lotus Biscoff Cheesecake

LOTUS BISCOFF CHEESECAKE

Cheesecake is one of my favourite desserts to make because it’s such a simple recipe to follow. I made this Lotus Biscoff Cheesecake for recently and it was an absolute crowd pleaser. The cheesecake turned out so rich, creamy and perfectly sweet and the Biscoff flavour was an absolute dream. Using crushed Biscoff biscuits for the crust worked so well and gave it an extra Biscoff-y flavour. I like to incorporate double cream into the cheesecake mixture because I like it to have a fluffy and creamy texture. Also, find that if I miss out the cream and use only cream cheese, the flavour becomes far too rich.

HOW TO MAKE LOTUS BISCOFF CHEESECAKE

With any no-bake cheesecake there are three different steps to making this delicious and very simple dessert.

Crust – Starting with the crust all you need to do is:

1. Grind the biscuits in a food processer or place them in a sandwich bag and mash them until they have a breadcrumb consistency. Then mix them into the melted butter. Reserve 2 tbsp for the toppings.
2. Press the mixture firmly into a lined 8 inch tin and place in the fridge. You can line it with either parchment paper or cling film, either way it will help to release the cheesecake from the tin once it’s done.

Cheesecake filling – Moving onto the cheesecake filling:

1. Blend together the cream, icing sugar, cream cheese, lotus biscuit spread and vanilla extract with a hand whisk. If you don’t have a hand whisk then you use a regular whisk or wooden spoon; anything will do really.
2. Pour the filling into the tin, cover with cling film and place into the fridge for 5 hours to set. If you don’t have 5 hours then you can leave it for less time but the consistency won’t be as firm.

Topping – Now it’s time to make the cheesecake look amazing:

1. Melt the Biscoff spread in the microwave and pour it onto the cheesecake, gently spreading onto the cheesecake layer.
2. Using the reserved crushed biscuits from earlier, sprinkle them around the edge of the cheesecake and place a biscuit in the centre. Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS YOU’LL NEED

Lotus Biscoff Biscuits – You’ll need biscuit crumbs for the base of the cheesecake as this will add the perfect crunch to the dessert.

Butter – Melted, to mix into the biscuit crumbs for the crust.

Double Cream – To create a light and fluffy texture to the cheesecake.

Icing Sugar – Add as much or as little icing sugar as you like until you reach your desired sweetness.

Cream Cheese – Using a full fat cream cheese will give you a rich and creamy texture.

Lotus Biscoff Spread – Perfect to add into the cheesecake mixture and to drizzle on the top. I personally love the spread and think it adds such depth of flavour.

Vanilla Extract – The vanilla extract will enhance the flavour of the cheesecake and perfectly complements the caramel flavour of Biscoff.

TOP TIPS FOR THE BEST LOTUS BISCOFF CHEESECAKE

1. Choose Quality Lotus Biscoff Cookies: Start with high-quality Lotus Biscoff cookies for the crust and as a decorative element. The distinct caramelized flavour of these cookies is a key element in the cheesecake.

2. Crush Cookies to the Right Consistency: Crush the Lotus Biscoff cookies finely for the crust to ensure a uniform and compact base. I used a food processor because it was quick, easy and the produced the perfect biscuit consistency.

3. Combine with Melted Butter: Mix the crushed Lotus Biscoff cookies with melted  unsalted butter to create a moist and flavourful crust. Ensure that every crumb is coated for a consistent base.

4. Press Firmly into the Pan: Press the cookie crust firmly into the bottom of the springform pan. Use the back of a spoon or a measuring cup to compact the crust evenly. You want to make sure that it’s firm because otherwise the crust will start to crust when removed from the pan.

5. Use Full-Fat Cream Cheese: Choose full-fat cream cheese for a rich and creamy texture. Reduced-fat versions may alter the consistency of the cheesecake but if that’s what you would rather pick than go for it.

MORE TIPS

1. Incorporate Lotus Biscoff Spread: Mix Lotus Biscoff spread into the cheesecake filling for an extra layer of flavour. This spread complements the cookies and adds a delicious caramel note.

2. Balance Sweetness: Be mindful of the sweetness of Lotus Biscoff cookies and spread. Adjust the icing sugar in the filling accordingly to achieve a balanced sweetness.

3. Add a Touch of Vanilla: Enhance the overall flavour profile with a touch of pure vanilla extract. It compiements the caramel notes of Lotus Biscoff and adds depth to the cheesecake.

4. Tap the Pan to Remove Air Bubbles: After pouring the batter into the crust, tap the pan gently on the counter to release any air bubbles. This helps in achieving a smooth and even texture.

5. Chill Overnight: For the best texture and flavour, cover with some cling film and refrigerate the Lotus Biscoff Cheesecake overnight. This allows the flavour’s to meld and the cheesecake to set properly. It will be much easier to cut into as well and be sure to use a warm knife by running it under some hot water.
