Directions:

1. 1. Prepare the base:
      • • Crush 16 Lotus Biscoff cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
        • Transfer the crumbs to a bowl and add 3 tbsp of melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are well-coated.
        • Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform mold or pie dish, ensuring an even layer.

       

      • Refrigerate the base for 30 minutes to firm up.
   2. Make the cheesecake filling:
      • • In a large bowl, whisk 1 cup of cream cheese lightly to remove any lumps.

       

      • • Add 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract and 1/2 cup of Lotus Biscoff spread. Mix until fully combined and smooth.
        • In a separate bowl, whisk 1/2 cup of cold heavy cream with 4 tbsp of icing sugar until soft peaks form.
        • Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and smooth.

       

   3. Assemble the cheesecake:
      • • Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled cookie base and spread it evenly with a spatula.
        • Refrigerate the cheesecake for 1 hour to allow it to firm up.

       

   4. Add the topping:
      • • Microwave 1/2 cup of Lotus Biscoff spread for 10-20 seconds until it becomes pourable.
        • Pour the melted spread over the chilled cheesecake, spreading it evenly across the top.

       

      • Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 more hours, or overnight for best results.
   5. Unmold and garnish:
      • • Before serving, wrap a hot towel around the sides of the mold for 30 seconds to help release the cheesecake.

       

      • Remove the mold carefully.
      • Crush 3-5 Lotus Biscoff cookies and sprinkle them over the top of the cheesecake as a garnish.
