Ingredients
For the Biscuit Base



For the Cheesecake Filling












Instructions
Step 1
Start by crushing the Lotus Biscoff cookies until they resemble fine crumbs. You can use a food processor for this step, or place the cookies in a sealed plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
Once crushed, transfer the crumbs to a mixing bowl and add the melted *unsalted butter*. Stir until the mixture is well combined. This will form a sticky base for your cheesecake.
Press the cookie mixture evenly into the bottom of a springform pan. *Make sure to compact it well* to ensure a sturdy base once it sets.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the *cream cheese*, *sour cream*, and *powdered sugar*. Using an electric mixer, blend the ingredients until they are smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
Add the *vanilla extract* and mix well. Finally, gently fold in the *whipped cream* until it is fully incorporated, giving the mixture a light and airy texture.
Step 3
Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared biscuit base in the springform pan. *Spread it evenly* with a spatula to ensure it is smooth on the surface.
Once assembled, cover the pan with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the cheesecake to set for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to achieve the best texture.
Step 4
After the cheesecake has set, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. You can garnish your cheesecake with crushed Lotus Biscoff cookies on top for added texture and flavor.
Slice the cheesecake into generous pieces and enjoy! Remember to refrigerate any leftovers to maintain its freshness.

Use different sizes for various stages of mixing. A large bowl for the cheesecake mix and a smaller one for the crust keeps your workspace organized.
A hand mixer or stand mixer is a must to achieve that smooth and creamy texture. Remember to mix on medium speed to avoid air bubbles.



Accurate measurements mean a perfect cheesecake! A digital scale can be helpful for precision.

Faq
- What do I do if my cheesecake cracks?
Monitor the baking temperature and avoid opening the oven door during baking to prevent sudden temperature changes that can cause cracks.

Absolutely! Wrap it well and store it in an airtight container. Be aware that the texture might change slightly after freezing.
- How can I enhance the flavor of my cheesecake?
Consider adding vanilla extract or citrus zest to the filling for an aromatic touch. You could also incorporate flavored extracts!
