Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Oven and Pan

Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F). Grease a 28 cm (11 inch) cake pan with a thin layer of unsalted butter.

Step 2

Make the Crust

Crush the Biscoff cookies into fine crumbs and mix them with the melted butter until well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust. Spread the fresh raspberries on top of the crust.

Step 3

Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

In a large bowl, mix the cream cheese, sugar, eggs, sour cream, and heavy cream until you achieve a smooth and uniform consistency. Carefully pour this cheesecake mixture over the prepared crust and raspberries.

Top the cheesecake with the chopped roasted pistachios for an added crunch and flavor.

Step 4

Bake the Cheesecake

Place the cheesecake in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes. Then, turn off the oven and let the cheesecake sit inside for an additional 10 minutes.

Step 5

Chill and Serve

After baking, let the cheesecake cool completely, then refrigerate it for at least a couple of hours or preferably overnight. This chilling time will allow the flavors to meld and the texture to set perfectly.

Serving Suggestions and Ideas

🎉 Elevate your cheesecake game by serving each slice with a generous dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of chopped pistachios for that extra crunch. It’s a texture and flavor explosion! 🤩

If you're hosting a dinner party, pair this cheesecake with a chilled glass of sparkling rosé or a fruity white wine. The acidity will balance out the richness of the dessert, making each bite heavenly. 💃🍾

Equipment

Food Processor

For the Biscoff cookie crust, a food processor works best to achieve fine crumbs.

Variations

Gluten-Free & Vegan Variations

🌟 Gluten-Free: Just swap out the Biscoff cookies for your favorite gluten-free cookie brand. The rest of the ingredients are naturally gluten-free, so you can enjoy this delicious treat without worry! 🎉

🌱 Vegan: Replace the cream cheese with a vegan cream cheese alternative. Use a plant-based butter for the crust, and substitute the eggs with a flaxseed mixture (1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 3 tbsp water per egg). As for the heavy cream, you can use coconut cream or a soy-based heavy cream substitute. Same delicious cheesecake, just kinder to our vegan friends! 🌼

Faq

  • Why is my cheesecake cracking?

    This can happen due to overmixing the batter or baking at high temperatures. Make sure to mix just until combined and bake at the recommended 160°C.

  • Can I use frozen raspberries?

    Yes, but make sure to thaw and drain them well to avoid extra moisture in the cheesecake.

  • How do I know when my cheesecake is done?

    The edges should be set but the center slightly jiggly. It will continue to set as it cools.

  • Can I make this cheesecake ahead of time?

    Absolutely! It's actually better if you let it sit in the fridge overnight to fully set and allow the flavors to meld together.

  • How do I get clean slices?

    Use a hot knife (dip in hot water then wipe) for slicing. Clean the knife after each cut for the cleanest slices.

  • Can I replace pistachios with other nuts?

    Sure! Almonds or hazelnuts would also complement the raspberry flavors beautifully.
